I don't understand the vitriol. He just gets on with it, clearly doesn't take himself too seriously, and is living the dream. Fair play to him.

Nice! I like that Ibanez a lot.

Go on then. One is missing, getting refretted.

Queen - Father To Son

Had a listen to divine misanthropy - tasty riffs alright, nice one. I'd be interested to hear it completed, especially with human drums. Good work though, keep it up.

I remember when there was just Heavy metal I've no idea what melodeath metal is, but I will check this out when I get home.

I'll probably pick this up regardless but I fear it'll be just as mediocre as the last 10 years of albums.

For giggles, here's Jazzneck's 82, the kosher one and a 93 to contrast. Personally, I think the lower curve from the nut to the G tuner looks all wrong but, hey, let the internet be the judge.

You just have

When the idea struck to play an instrument, back in 1988, it was bass and only bass I wanted to play. Over the years I took up guitar and drums too and I've played all three in bands throughout the years. In fact, I've just finished a six year stint playing guitar in a band but, all the while, bass is still the one that I enjoy the most, the one where I feel most comfortable. I can get by with not playing bass but I just don't enjoy it as much. If I go back into the live band thing it'll be on bass this time.

I picked up a mid 90's SR1300 last year pretty cheap, just love that neck, there's nothing else quite like it.

Slap bass? It's the sound of a guitarist compensating for those missing strings.

Bacchus Woodline Classic P. Tried several before, including a couple of American Standards, but the Bacchus is the one.

You'd have a .125 as your E? Seems far too heavy, to be honest, the heaviest E string I ever used was a .115 and it was seriously tight. Why not just stick to regular four string set gauges (ie 105-45, 100-40, etc) for E to G and get a .25 or thereabouts for your C, that's what I did and the tension feels natural and balanced.

And before anyone pipes up, I sold my Stingray after I picked up the Godlyke, there was just no point keeping it

[quote name='Toasted' post='1244124' date='May 25 2011, 12:20 PM']Wow, that's putting the pricing up there with Ritter / Fodera / Ken Smith / Dingwall as some of the most expensive new basses out there.[/quote] Yup, I got a quote a few months back "The current price for a Wal 4 string Mk 2 with sycamore facings is £3650 + VAT" Just a bit too much for me, I'm afraid.

That fretboard looks like it's gasping for some lemon oil

I'd recommend Viaticum by Esbjorn Svensson Trio to anyone interested in this kind of thang. Or any E.S.T. for that matter.

Very nice, well done. If I were in your position I would consider doing something to protect those coils from accidental damage, they seem a bit too exposed for my liking and could be very easily damaged. Even getting them taped would go a long way to protecting them and wouldn't spoil the aesthetic of the bass.

Ah but who's this with the credibility? Adios, Keanu!
