I don't because it is a great song.

Well, I suppose if you are a real PF fanboi you are pre-disposed to like it just because its Roger Waters. And I am sure it is better than the other video (which I didn't watch!)

Maybe, I guess that is up to the website owner. Doesnt he have his own website? I know from experience, after the 3rd or 4th time of repairing a bridge that someone else has burned the 'Oh come on lads, can't we all be friends' starts wearing very thin.

I like PF, but if they are no longer a going concern and it is a legacy thing, I don't see that activity by the principle members is really anything to do with it, it should be old discovered archives, or things related to the band. and I have no idea what the vontrap thing, is, I don't like them enough to look

We are not all build like aquaman here!

When he decided to not continue with the band, instead of leaving he sued everyone to make sure noone could have it if he didn't. He lost, they continued and had quite a bit of success. If it was down to him there wouldn't be a pink floyd website for him to put his stuff on. I don't know him or them, but he doesn't appear to be that easy to work with, and obviously they do know him and can decide. And if you want someone else to do somehting to help you, I find going to them rather than just posting a video to all your fans to try and get round them is almost certainly the least likely way to get what you want.

Great little basses, especially at the price, and nice to see some medium scale basses too. Bit too wide a string spacing for me, but a good starter bass for people who don't mind falling through the gaps!

Speak for yourself, I'm f*in hot

I think that is a much better indicator. For a start noone knows what is in the video before they start playing it, and when searching for a bass playing video, I start looking for the song, not the player. OK, when I see the list, I can pick at that time, but I certainly never think 'I won't watch that one, it might have some slap in it'

Mrs Clutterbuck was my first (and last) piano teacher when I was a kid

I think that is largely what people have said they do like, certainly me - it is great as an accent. It contrasts the earlier playing. As a contrast, or an accent it is great. If its all there is, then it is not as good.

Oh that is a neat job, I think I will do that!

Oh yes, but maybe not for his services to bass!

Apparently not always

That I didn't know. I had seen him playing keyboards. Well, on rainbow in the dark, I guess anyone could play that!

It is pretty ergonomic. I think at the moment it is better sat down (it is the best bass sat down) than standing up, not that I have done much of the latter since i got it. I don't think it is necessarly required to have a wider neck because of the headless thing, I think it is just the start of a different range. The BTB range has got a wider string spacing than the SR (and this), as well as a long neck. Same reason it doesn't look like an SR, the SR range is many decades old now and they just wanted a more modern thing I think.

Gary Sinise, the actor chap whose mostly on CSI but has played lots of other sleezy not playing parts (well, and apollo 13, he wasn't so sleazy in that). I knew about other actors, didn't know about him

Agreed. Up to the point where you break the nut, go to a shop for a new one for a 45mm neck and find it doesn't fit!

Yeh, he went out the back and got his mate to redo it

Depends what you mean about nut width. The neck width at the average height is 45mm for sure, but as the nut is at at 30 degrees, it is actually closer to 50. You can adjust the string spacing either way.

Can indeed as it was sitting right behind me. It is 7.0 of your english Lbs, on my bathroom scales. Hmm.. guess that is why it feels light, the 2605 is 8.2. The neck is noticably wider than the SRs, obviously because the strings are all socially distanced. It was a bit too wide for me to start but now I have the spacing at 17.25, its not so bad. And, I know it is my new bass, so obviously I am going to want to play it more, but at the moment, if I want to play something it is the one I go for. If the others were there, I probably wouldn't notice. Bit of a pain to hang though

Its obviously a more noticeable on the west coast than the east. In fact, if you haven't done these trips, and lived in the UK all your life, just the amount of time in the middle and the west that there is absolutely nothing. My friends in SF said 'what do you want to go down to death valley for, there is nothing there', and were surprised at the answer, yes, there is nothing, I have never known that. Even our desolate areas aren't desolate for long. It has changed from the last few road trips we have done. with satelite radio, you put on some station and you get it all the way on your trip. It is handy but in some way it is a bit sad that those areas where this is nothing is dissapearing.* Now you mention it though, Sweet emotion is on the radio a lot! * last roadtrip in 2015, driving through nevada, hundreds of miles from the nearest ghost town or isolated RV, pick up the phone 'oh, 5 bars of 4g'.

I'm guessing in Nirvana, that didn't happen either!

If I had been one of the first grunge bands before the term, with low budget to record, and trying to get away from the polished professionalism of 80s/90s rock and come up with a slowed down punk, and capture the live energy of the band, I would have been more than happy with that.

Amazing you could get that. We did a trip (when I lived in SF) from San Francisco to death valley when I friend visited, it was the first trip out of SF when I lived there - this was '96, couldn't drive yet. Coming out of San Francisco, the radio was all 'Alice music' (Alice radio 97.3 - lisa loeb, Alanis Morissette, Meridith brooks etc), then once you are past Livermore your choice was religious programs or a station that appeared to just play Led Zeppelin II (not going crazy and playing the others). We flipped between them, it was a good contrast. I didn't feel the need to buy Led Zeppelin II! On the other hand, my first road trip when I could drive in 1998, like the week after I passed my test. I drove from Montreal to toronto down the 401. They had a clever thing where you had FM repeaters all the way down the route, so there was never a moment that you couldn't turn the radio on and hear 'That don't impress me much'. I didn't buy that either!
