I used to be in an Elbow tribute band, called a r s e. Most people couldn't tell us apart.

To Blow Off And Things - Cardiacs

If our body rebels against a bass it's just not meant to be. I had a beautiful old Rickenbacker 4001 years ago and the neck was so wafer-thin my hand would cramp up pretty quickly. Happy 21st birthday btw 😁

That looks like a recurring nightmare I used to have.

Clearly not you, but thank you for taking the time to comment anyway.

Cygnus X-1 - Rush

Wow. So this is where Mark Walker got to! I always loved his videos on YouTube, his playing and tone were fantastic, as was his singing. I have to say I totally get where he's coming from. For years I made excuses for RIC, the sort of "yeah they're a terrible company but if you want "that" sound you have to put up with it", but then I thought, why should we? As I've got older I've found much more pleasant ways to get that sound.

I haven't been too impressed by the look of Ashdown's basses, but I am a sucker for a pink bass! The neck looks particularly sweet.

Trampled Under Hoof - Mastodon

A Fool For Your Stockings - ZZ Top

I love Ashdown, but... I'll refrain from commenting on this 🤐

Lucifer's Friend - Lucifer's Friend

Up On The Roof - The Drifters

Sadly when I've seen Cheap Trick live, that technique combined with a 12-string bass and distortion results in a huge mess. Sound techs have enough trouble with a 4 string! As much as I love Tom Petersson and his use of the 12 string, I think his best sound was with the Thunderbird, both live and on record.
