Good shout. The Epi version gives you coil tapping, which the Gib does not. I’ve just bought an Epi Casino Coupe (339 sized Casino) and couldn’t be happier.

Pitched up for the gig, but the ceiling over the stage had spilt and drooped and there was a bucket pretty much in the middle catching the water. No gig for us then 😕

That certainly is a looker, congrats. When you have some time and have stopped the obligatory continuous playing, perhaps you can furnish us with some specs and maybe a small reviewette.

A great result, congrats on finally being united with that fine looking instrument. What a debacle though! However, it may be that all that angst will actually add to your enjoyment of it. Thanks for sharing the experience, I think we all felt somewhat invested in the outcome.

Sybil says, “That’s a nice looking bass you have there, manbeast,” and I’d be inclined to agree. Enjoy your non-Vigier adventure.

He was young and foolish, plus he tends to play over the neck pickup of his various basses. Those bezels are good, with a selection of thumbrest options, but they’re not cheap. If you’re coming to the Bass Bash you can check out the one on my 4003s (I’ll be the bloke in the Rush T shirt, or maybe my TMIAC one!).

I’ve just come over from FB to read this very thing, I feel cheated

I’m surprised it took you this long to get a Ric, given your Rush addiction. Yes they can be a pain to play, but adding a bezel to the bridge pickup and removing the mute screws make it whole lot more comfy. As to the lack of contouring for ribs and forearm, you just have to get used to it I’m afraid. Congrats on the new beast, enjoy.

Just too many to chose from to pick just one (or ten honestly), but here's a few that float my boat: More Pino

Had the same problem and fitted one of those bezels - all fixed.

Double Ps for the win.

I’ll throw my Elwood L into the mix.

Given that I think the guitarist is using a double cut Washburn (I seem to remember wanting one of those back in the day), I think the bass might be a Washburn too.

A thing of beauty (although I can't get on with T'Bird ergonomics) that makes my wallet itchy. Not on the shop's webpage, so perhaps a custom order; phew!

In order to have something visual over and above the recording session one of my bands did recently, we did a video shoot. Here are two of the four songs we did that day. We're not a lookalike tribute band, more 'playing the music of' type deal. If you're thinking of doing a video, I can thoroughly recommend https://www.liverecord.co.uk

I’m not allowed to add details to my potential sale

Those bad lads at Wal have just posted this on FB to tempt the masses.

I’m thinking of having one of my basses for sale.

I was not wrong.

OMG!
