    Man, that's tempting but I guess this guy could make a broom sound amazing 😉 Why only for the US, esp. as the basses are made in the Czech Republic? 🥴

    Agree. As a living room player, I am always performing for my neighbours. They cannot see me, but I know that they can hear me 😉
  3. Eldon Tyrell
    Uhhh, the red one looks tempting, I better immediately forget what I've seen 😉

    We have to be strong and don't allow us to give in to temptation. Although, I am already on BD's website 😎
  5. Eldon Tyrell
    Wow 🤩
  6. Eldon Tyrell
    Ok, fixed it for you, @cetera😉

    Spector fans, Someone over at TB posted this and I immediately thought of @cetera 🙂 "A long awaited limited run of Spector's fabled X Bass! One of only 40 in the United States!! Originally designed for one of Rock's biggest Bassists, Nikki Sixx of Motley Crue, the X Bass is now available as a Euro Model for a limited time only!! This one has a Gorgeous Flame Maple top with a Blue Black Gloss Finish!" https://reverb.com/item/47547314-spector-euro4xbbg-black-blue-gloss-killer-flame-maple-top-limited-edition-authorized-dealer

    Cool list. I am still enjoying my new SUB bass. It sounds killer. Great rock machine. I did some digging and it looks like the SUB was only in production between 03 and 06 (mine is from 06) and SUB apparently stood for "Sports Utility Bass". Not really sure what that's supposed to mean though. Further, it first said "S.U.B." on the headstocks, then they changed it to "SUB" and finally "SUB bass" (like on mine), which also makes not much sense - "Sports Utility Bass Bass"? 🥴 Anyway, great bass and impressive value for money, esp. if you consider what the new Stingray Specials cost nowadays (£3k!)

    The US SUB offers great value for money. They are a kind of a no-thrills Stingray (built in the same factory in Cal with the same electronics and hardware). I got one yesterday for £600. These basses are built like a tank. Super solid but also super heavy. Admittedly, the chunky slap body is not everybody's cup of tea either. Finally, the pickguard has an industrial "chic" but that can easily be fixed as seen in the photo below.

    Yeah, fortunately for them, the Corona virus pretty quickly became re-branded Covid.

    To be honest, when I saw the title of the post, I immediately clicked on it, thinking it surely must be about this great song and the lyrics at the end: "If I would, could you?" Well, I got it wrong.

    From the Guardian: WHO names new variant Omicron, designates as 'variant of concern' The World Health Organization has named the B.1.1.529 Covid variant Omicron and says an advisory group has recommended that it should be designated as “of concern” In a statement, WHO said preliminary evidence suggests the latest variant carries a “higher risk of re-infection than other variants of concern”.

    Wow. The ideal bass for people suffering from, what @jd56hawkcalls, LAMS 😉 Where are my Ray Bans? Ok, found them 😎

    Good point and my assistant in my office is still wanting for my penny to be handed over, @wateroftyne but maybe you don't give a penny like HP here😉
  15. Eldon Tyrell
    Short answer: Nope, would not apply. Ok, with regard to your offer of "a penny for your thoughts" (title of your post). Now that you got my thoughts, could you please go to my office and hand over the penny to my assistant? PLEASE NOTE one of the big parts of you keeping your promise is following instructions, it says 'hand over the penny'. If you try to pay me via paypal or credit card or any other means, then you are not the right person for this bass forum. Many Thanks.

    Uhh, that sounds awful 😱
  17. Eldon Tyrell
    Agree, a better name for sonic blue would be baby blue
  18. Eldon Tyrell
    Well, good news is that it will probably take Tool at least 8-10 more years to release their next album, so you have more than enough time to go through all their albums 😉 My fav is still Ænima from 96, although I think that most prefer Lateralus from 01, so I would start with these two.

  20. Eldon Tyrell
    Yes, twice actually 😎

    Did not know what LAMS means. Googled it. According to the urban dictionary, it is "A social group prevalent in Germany, characterized by poor grammar, sweat pants, and a mullet." So, do you think this bloke came up with the clown vomit name? Could explain it.
  22. Eldon Tyrell
    However, he also sounds great with a, let's say, less impressive drum kit 😉
  23. Eldon Tyrell
    You probably watched this one, which is amazing indeed:
  24. Eldon Tyrell
    Oh yes, great memories. Hadn't watched this for decades!
  25. Eldon Tyrell
    ...which still sound better than 99% of what else was released in that year.
