They're very rare I think - a special one off order by GC in around 2010/11. Mine has a flame neck and a weight of 8.5 lbs - it's my dream bass.

Links tweaked…Maher went on to play with Scritti. I love this music. That's put me in the mood for some relentless music. Lo...Crow by Albini's Shellac... [media]http://youtu.be/gPQIMA6H6F8[/media]

[quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1415868778' post='2604559'] Not unless he has a time machine [/quote] Ah ...didn't realise he was using them before Edwards. Anyone with a geeky interest in Queen recordings know which tracks were Deacon using a 'Ray?
-
Anyone have a list of tracks where he used a stingray? Another One Bites the Dust? Was it a Bernard Edwards influence? Deacon is an amazing bassist.

God I love telecasters!

Single cuts understandably divide opinion as most of them look revolting. However, I became intrigued after trying a few Fodera imperials - to my eye the Imperial shape manages to play against type and look extremely cool. Pretty much every other single cut shape makes me want to throw up. Since I couldn't afford a new Imperial, I got an Adamovic Halo which is a rare bass that pulls off a good look for a single cut in my view. [url="http://www.adamovic.nl/2basses/Custom/Ha.htm"]http://www.adamovic....s/Custom/Ha.htm[/url] Feel wise I would say that a good single cut gives the neck a different feel, especially in the upper register compared to bolt ons and neck-throughs. The whole bass feels 'fused' together and certainly on the Imperials I've tried (and my Adamovic) gives terrific sustain and response, especially in the upper registers. That doesn't mean that I don't use bolt ons (I have a few bolt ons that are just amazing, esp my stingray) but I certainly prefer chording, playing complicated upper register stuff etc more on the Adamovic, which is by far the most playable bass I own.

Does anyone have my old Sonus Special 5 lined fretless that I sold to Gwilym? Miss that bass - it really sings.

Okay amigos - Lovely as new Yamaha SLB200 for sale at £1250. Pick up or meet around kent, London, M25…it's a fantastic bass. Recently set up. Just need to gather some funds…would keep it otherwise and will definitely get one again further down the road.

Ah - Zon sixers are just GREAT. Miss mine...

I had a jaco clone from him (as well as an andy summers tele that I still have) and I can vouch for his jazz basses being utterly gorgeous. The one I had, had great lo mid thump, a fast skinny neck and perfect, period correct body contours. A wonderful thing.

Funny…talking to Wunjo about sh*t slappers making a racket in the shop Saturday slap bass fog…hur hur...
-
It's a great doc…definitely giving the anti crowd a say...

Yup. Evolving Bassist, the Goldsby book and the Mingus fake book are all essential reading. I would also highly recommend Bob Magnusson's 'The Art of the Walking Bass'. It's an incredibly well written guide to walking. Nick
