Brian May's personal home made guitar has an oak neck and Fodera is also offering them now, just like @Manton Customs does. 😉

Another underrated project by Brian Eno:

Do the Strand ia another gem indeed, thanks for reminding it @rushbo. 😊

I can confirm that these are the original Schaller tuners. These pickups were made by Gary Kramer himself. Excellent basses with a tone on their own. And loads of information here: http://www.vintagekramer.com/index.htm

I noticed it way later, but Roxy Music's bass lines and bassists have had a huge influence on my own bass lines... Love is the Drug is one of my favourite bass line and tune of Roxy Music, the bass being played by John Wetton IIRC. 801: so many memories coming back...

Joe Jackson's Got the Time slaughtered! 🤢🤮

Is it this cover that you find awful? To me it's far better on all points than the crappy approximative duet (they are running after each other) original folk tune.

This is not an opinion, this is a fact!

It's more a Philip K. Richard bass.

The JFK signature comes with a bullet truss rod. I'll get my coat.

Petri bought my Fender-Baldman fretless jazz bass. What a pleasure to deal with him and talk with him too. Another true gentleman and bass player. Cheers and enjoy your bass!

And chantilly too. 🤢🤮

American coffee is awful, but now they have some Irish in the executive board, so it should be even worse. 😈

But somebody has been forgotten...

They do basses at the Fender Custom Shop?

Thomann has it, hurry up it's quite cheap: https://www.thomann.de/gb/hoefner_h500_1_61_0_cavern_bass_left.htm They even say it's the original one. 🤔😂🤪 That said, the guy should stop showing the wrong bass in permanence: The 61 model has 2 neck pickups.

Better tell it to GSS then...

@Smanth Was it a GSS system?

There's a glitch on GSS website somewhere. Indeed Vincent, first time I used the above link, there was a mention saying nothing is available and then it worked... Go figure.

Is it for a Bowie fan?

As nobody has been mentioning it yet, there's the GSS 06B400 Mini Bass Amp coupled to the dedicated intelligent Lithium battery pack. Not cheap, but excellent sounding and certainly one of the best with 12 hours of playing time. Here they are: https://www.guitarsoundsystems.com/gss-06b400-mini-bass-amp-c2x15043753 https://www.guitarsoundsystems.com/gss-7s35v2-intelligent-lithium-battery-pack-for-guitar-sound-systems-mini-bass-amps-c2x18346407 And the carrying bag too: https://www.guitarsoundsystems.com/custom-padded-bag-for-gss-06b400-mini-bass-amp-and-gss-08gcxxx-guitar-cab-c2x14812542 There's also another thread about the subject here: And another here:

Also add the fact that after a certain age (which seems to be the average age of people here 🤔🤦🏻‍♂️😂), you hear absolutely nothing above 8 kHz... FIrst thing to do is have an hearing check and you'll be fixed (but not fixed at the same time) about that tweeter you can't hear.

Put a higher value capacitor. 😉

Congratulations @Kev ! It's a beautiful and excellent bass too.

Wow, it looks really beautiful 😍 !
