That looks bad indeed. When we discussed the Gene Simmons T'bird a while ago (that also had some poor finish), I suggested that Gibson should call its finish "proto-relic". In this way they could make it an official feature and charge even more money 😉

The Timmy C signature basses are truly special. I also have the long scale and passive version. Killer bass. How many passive Stingrays are out there? Further, the natural one has black hardware. Again, how many natural stingrays with black hardware are out there? So, passive SR, natural/black combo, height adjustable finger ramp, strings-thru bridge with mutes and old school logo (ok, only a little thing, but every little helps, right? ; -) - quite a lot of features for a signature bass.

Cool stuff. Looks like they are now also catering for customers who speak Latin: It translates to: "The customer is very happy. He will pursue the education of the student, but this will happen at the same time as with some great labour and pain." Hmm, not exactly sure what that means though 🥴

What? You do not know Timmy C? Man, you really need to Wake up! Wake up! Wake up! Wake up! Wake up! Wake up! Wake up! Wake up!

Sorry, had to set the record (pun intended) straight 😉

Maybe a mix of both? DevoPo? PoDevo? DePo? PoDe?

You have to give Vulfpeck credit for being great entertainers. Cool show (pun intended). Not sure about the hats though. Reminded me of...

Yeah, same here. 2 out of 5 claws is pretty bad 😒

Looks like the lobster is not a fan of the JD II.

Andy, God loves you, if you are a quitter or not. Now that you have seen the light, you may want to ask these bands if they need a great bass player like you, brother. Hallelujah 👼

I agree, I can see the business case for touring as Pantera. Well, let's see how many people want to see half-Pantera next year. I won't be one of them.

They should not have used the Pantera name. Like Ben & Jerry's or Tom & Jerry, they could have called themselves Rex & Phil or Phil & Rex playing Pantera songs. A bit like what Peter Hook is doing with "Peter Hook & the Light", "performing the 'Unknown Pleasures' & 'Closer' albums by Joy Division, w/ opening New Order set".

Have to agree, made me think of this clip 😎

one of the Bass Direct ones coming in 2023? They look tasty indeed, especially the ultra violet one. Definitely on my watch list 😍

I had the great pleasure of selling my Tech 21 SansAmp BI pedal to Geoff. Super smooth and easy transaction. Quick and friendly communication, together with fast payment. Cannot get any better. Thumbs up 👍

Probably nothing wrong with it but nothing special about it either (apart from the gold finish, which I am not a big fan of). The RB has some cool features and I hope to get to try one out some day. I hope the 60th anniversary model comes with some cool features (maybe a Tbird II model, maybe short scale, maybe active/passive pickup(s) like the RB?) and in white (appropriate colour for celebrating a 60th anniversary anyway). I just want to see something special and not just a different finish.

Here is the perfect bass for you (It is not my bass and I have no connections to the seller, just saw it) https://thebassgallery.com/collections/bass/products/yamaha-bbne2-nathan-east Yamaha BBNE2. I have never played one (I can hardly cope with 4 strings) but I have heard a lot of good things about it. Worth checking out and London is not too far from Northamptonshire, so maybe worth a trip to the capital? 🙂

Man, I am a huge Pantera fanboy but Pantera without Dimebag Darrell and Vinnie Paul? Don't think so. Maybe they join as holographic virtual avatars, like the Abbatars in ABBA Voyage. As Rex and Phil are still with us, it could be a hybrid or semi-holographic tour. That could be interesting.
