You'll be amazed at how light it is. I bought one of mine on here and went to collect it in my van. It was the only thing in the back and was standing up./ I went round the first roundabout and was alarmed by a bang from the back. When I looked round, it had fallen over!! Not used to the idea of a bass cab falling over.
Rotosound Nickel Swing Bass 45 - 105 (on the one bass strung with rounds) and Jazz Bass 45 - 105 on all the others.
I am an endorsee of Rotosound (to be open) but always liked their feel and tone anyway. Definitely prefer the tone of the nickel rounds.
On the first tour BM's spare guitar was a Les Paul Deluxe. I have seen pictures of him using it. The Red Special has been a good return on the 8 quid he reckoned it cost him.
I believe the Tele actually belonged to Roger Taylor.
Rory Gallagher and his Strat. Alvin Lee and his 335.
Check out Chicken Fried Snake on the Ron Levys Wild Kingdom CD. Some brilliant whammy-assisted 6 string bass from Jimmie Vaughan.
I remember a Peavey demo by Colin Hodgkinson (early 80's I think) and he had a bass (4 string) fitted with one.; Weird in quite an interesting way.
I remember my first ever such moment. Recording a demo with a rock band and we decided to change to a reggae feel for the outro, As we went into the change, the drummer and I played a fill exactly in sync. We almost stopped playing.
I posted this a while ago. All your puny efforts are amateur hour - this is expensive!!

This looks interesting. Wouldn't mind one myself.
