I - KISS

It was set up for D standard tuning and used live for 2112 on later tours.

Headstock veneer made from a piece of 5000 year old subfossilised black oak.

That's absolutely a Rickenbacker. It's all over that album. Have a listen to Cygnus X-1, long bass intro! Geddy didn't start using the Jazz until Permanent Waves (it's on The Spirit of Radio) then on Moving Pictures and Signals it's about 50/50 Rick and Jazz. It's easy to tell the difference on Signals but on Moving Pictures Geddy used quite a different bass tone with a thick, chewy distortion, so it's not as easy to tell them apart. Also on MP Geddy only used the neck pickup on the Jazz so the distictive hollow twang isn't there.

I LOVE that you've fallen for one of Rush's most misunderstood and neglected albums. Not unloved by me, you understand. I adore it 😍

A new pic posted on Facebook. Slightly ungainly headstock IMHO.

Octopus Has No Friends - Mastodon

Totally agree. I rarely play 5 strings, but have owned several. The only one that felt and played like a totally coherent instrument was an old Warwick Thumb NT. Just incredible. On every other 5 string I've played, even some very expensive, luxury instruments, the B string has felt like an additional and slightly lame set of extra notes - except for a friend's entry-level Yamaha BB. Just astoundingly clear and authoritative B string, regardless of the price. Admittedly it wasn't active, but it was a total workhorse.

Prototype 4 string on Facebook - it's for sale... I like it!

Bounce - SOAD

The Forest Whispers My Name - Cradle of Filth

Cherry Blossom Clinic Revisited - The Move 😁

After 90 minutes in the O2 presale today, all that was left were two "ultimate side of stage experience" tickets. A mere £2932.50 each. Sadly I'd already decided to set my spending limit at £2930. Yeah, I know... tightarse.

The Bitterest Pill - The Jam

Fair enough. The bass is ok, that's the main thing! Still give him bad feedback though 😆
