Twas crazy when they made their 'anniversary' bass out of... Carbon fibre. Coulda gone with polystyrene to mug people off. 'Classic' missed opportunity.
Id put the G&L pickup in it - I dont think they'll be a collectable because theyre not made of the vintage timbers. Still better than the new Steve Harris Sig.
Great stuff - Saw British Lion in Carlisle, so a bit of a shame they didnt come back for a 3rd tour 😔. I really enjoyed it.
The new signature p sucks big time.
One thing I remember was that I took it to Overwater for a full setup, but the pole pieces crackle to the touch, so it was very much a pick/plectrum-only bass, but i guess a RIC is anyway.
Looks like my old one - I bought it for £650 in 2006.
Best rock bass Ive played is one of those old Vigier Arpeges though. They've more in the tank than a Birchenbacker.
Yeah, it's great - Scan the QR code every time you want to take a piss and then have a meeting with your Line Manager to discuss any prostate problems👌
