Without sounding like a twit, I’d find it really hard to dress with a bass of that colour. Not a fan. Stack knobs are cool though.

Affordable new Wal bass. I can dream can’t I? I don’t care where it’s made, as long as it’s less than £2k, has two Wal pickups and the Wal pre and electronics. It doesn’t need a fancy top, can come with a gigbag. Please!

Matching headstock looks so good!

When this was suggested I thought they meant Bon Jovi! This is a most pleasant surprise.

i listened to the original and superb recording today and also thought it sounded like a non clanky, deep sounding stingray. Fantastic playing by the band all round.

BB34? Looks killer.

I’ll admit it’s hard to tell sometimes. I’m not an expert on the genre….. Dimmu Borgir are a big band in the scene (I bought their opus “Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropia”!!), Dimmu Bongir are yet to reach their dizzy heights of success. I bet they don’t even sacrifice goats on stage or anything.

I do enjoy a good metal parody.

Aaah ok thanks. I’ll consider this my entry into the work of Paul Webb. I’ll explore some more talk talk tomorrow.

Agreed with the above, Tony is a monster player. One of the rare breed that can find the space for supportive melodies in his playing. Busy but not overplaying.

This was suggested for my covers band and it’s got a corker of a bassline. Original by talk talk. Lots going on in this one, especially in the pre-chorus.

I played one of these at guitar guitar and it beat all their other basses hands down for playability and feel. It was way better setup than any of the US fenders they had.

Gibson famously added an extra serial number to US production a few years back, implying they were making more than 999 guitars a day. Can you maintain quality control if you’re under pressure to make that many?? Also worth checking out the various YouTube factory tours of the cort and Yamaha factories for an idea of the scale of production. It’s nuts!

Vol, Vol, Tone, with tone pot wired to pull up to switch between series/parallel. It’s monster!

Back when I worked in a guitar shop we had a lady enter the shop in clutching a shopping list at Christmas. She confidently asked for a “Jim Davidson Wahwah pedal”. Chortle.
