Here's my trio of Teles. Admittedly, the reason I went for the Squire in particular was because the affordable Fender version is no longer readily available, but they are superb basses in their own right. Certainly a lot comfier to play than my old slab bodied Fender. I recently had a chance to play one of the new US reissues and, apart from the Fender being far more period accurate, there wasn't much difference in feel at all - apart from the Fender neck being fatter. My latest one, the blonde on the left, has a replacement pickup which is a lot hotter - it's got a more solid low end but loses some of that trebly clank that the stock pickup has. I'll know if the pickup's a keeper once I get some new DRs on it.

Erm... National Viewers and Listeners Association, anyone?

Dear Father - Yes

Roger Glover used a Squier Classic Vibe Precision to record the last Deep Purple album.

Marathon - Rush

316L Grade Surgical Steel - Carcass

Assassing - Marillion

Listen To Me - Buddy Holly

They were not known to update their appearance with the passing of time.

Kevin Godley has the most beautiful voice, completely at odds to his 70s geography teacher appearance. Fresh Air For My Mama is just sublime.

Let Down - Radiohead

Now that is a perfectly respectable tone - nice bit of grit on top (I'd prefer a bit more though😄). It's a bit of a hallowed bass solo though, not sure about that interpretation though...

Parents - Budgie

Where is this? Looks like something out of War of The Worlds.

I've got three of them now, they're all about 10lb but that's still manageable... for now 😄

Self Immolation - Fear Factory

Maybe... 😄

The Low Spark Of High-Heeled Boys - Traffic

Don't Try Suicide - Queen

I'm a bit disappointed there's no case...

Another one just arrived... early Classic Vibe. Faultless construction.

Killing Yourself To Live - Sabbath

Just black and red at the moment. Red like Geezer's. This pic was taken seconds after he bashed his hand on one of the pointy bits.
