Weekly bump -
There's not a huge advantage to them because you'll still have to hold the pick to prevent it turning out of position on your thumb (on up strokes). On a guitar it's used for downstrokes and doesn't need bracing or holding in the same way.

Beautiful design, amazing bass -

I had one of these things years back but failed to make the mental adjustment needed to play it with a fresh mind. These instruments aren't quite a bass and aren't quite a guitar.

[quote name='Mark Dixon' timestamp='1463326443' post='3050485'] They are quite something.. see below.. [/quote] They're lovely. If only they made the nut width smaller and made the 4-sting pickups like the 5 string and got rid of those plastic surrounds!

As Bilbo is suggesting, Prog requires longer rehearsal times, therefore commitment is a big factor and Prog bands remain a rarity. If one buys Prog magazine at WHSmiths you'll realise that Prog isn't really Prog anymore. It's largely metal/math Prog.

[quote name='Clarebear68' timestamp='1463338054' post='3050614'] I thought there was a bit of a resurgence of prog rock style music with people Steven Wilson doing quite well and bands like Porcupine Tree, Spock's Beard, Pineapple Thief selling out venues? [/quote] Yes, you're right. Plus bands like Thumpermonkey, Knifeworld, in London

[quote name='Mark Dixon' timestamp='1463119665' post='3048693'] Half a dozen! Blimey, I do have a Mk I on order as well, but that is some months away. Here are the Mk IIIs ready for collection [/quote] Congratulations. When you tire of that maple one on the left I'd like first dibs. I'm sure we can do a deal.

[quote name='ProfJames' timestamp='1462823964' post='3046083'] Would you recommend to learn on a fretless? [/quote] As mentioned already, try and provide some context to your question.

I've played this bass and can confirm it's a lovely instrument. Eude is a delight to deal with and I routinely use him to model all my basses for sale. -

Ever met a famous musician…. but not realised at the time?
Spoombung replied to Kex's topic in General Discussion
A friend of mine got talking to a drunken guy in a pub who cracked dirty jokes and offered to suck his cock. Being a canny guy and a music fan, after five minutes of chatter with this character my friend became suspicious, recognised him and asked him if he was legendary folk guitarist, Davy Graham. Bingo! -

[quote name='Prosebass' timestamp='1461709181' post='3037098'] 90 views! I thought this was a bass forum..... Challenging, as ever Kev The Longest Melford? Much smoother, great tone. Quite Rain Tree Crow. [/quote] Thanks!

Go here: [url="http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Bass-Specialties"]http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Bass-Specialties[/url] It's American but my friends and I have ordered here and not incurred any import charges. It's the cheapest even with the postage.

In the video above you can hear this amazing bass produces a fabulous, grunty, wiry, snarly vibrating tone with a pick and ultra clear, penetrating, funky tones when slapped. Reduced to £1700
