No, their cover version didn’t come out until '87.

What an absolutely rediculous bass. Fantastic, well done! 🤘😎👍

I spent exciting afternoon a few months back comparing body measurements (with photos) between my Japanese 1100s and my 374a, to compare new to old. I realised what an absolute nerd I was being and don't think I ever posted the results. There were lots of very slight differences but in all honesty they were remarkably similar.

I didn't know that. 👍

@Raslee I saw that one for sale and very nearly bought it, bargain price. Funnily enough it was the tuners that put me off because, being extremely shallow, I love the look of the originals. I'd say that's a Japenese one as the pickups are the earlier type, but I'll admit I don't know that the pickups changed when the place of manufacture did. A lovely bass wherever it was built.

I would turn up with a doublebass and completely upstage him. I've found that folks are drawn to the visual of a doublebass. It is, after all, what he asked for.

A lot of music shops use the colour orange in their logos etc as neurological research has found that orange stimulates the same receptors in the brain as hearing music you enjoy and purchasing items, among other enjoyable things, releasing endorphins that give you that warm fuzzy feeling. Further research found that some people will believe anything they read online.
