La La Lies - the 'oo

The Spark is an amazing pedal. I bought one in a sale a couple of years ago, never tried it and forgot all about it. When I finally gave it a go - blimey! There's some real juju in it, one of those rare "makes everything sound better" pedals.

Pineapple - Sparks

Apples and Oranges - The Pink Floyd

I always used 50-110 in my drop C days. Plenty of rattle but I liked that - I was playing COC/Down-esque metal so that extra growl and flexibility was great when improvising under the guitar solos I'll admit, I only went for that gauge as they were heavier than normal. I didn't realise you could get heavier sets back then, but I was perfectly happy with them.

What?!

Just like Eddie - Heinz

Colin Hodgkinson, one of the most astoundingly original and unique voices of the bass, spent a time playing with Whitesnake. Always looked like he was having a hell of a good time doing it though!

Venus In Fear - Cradle of Filth

S&M - Thin Lizzy

Jenny Kissed Me - Peter Wyngarde

Cardiac Arrest - Madness

Carry on Doctor - Sons of Merrick

What does tilt do?

You're welcome to pop in and have a go next time you're south of the river Paul 😁

I've had three and the weight has varied. None have been particularly heavy. I too replaced the machine heads with Gotohs, like @Jean-Luc Pickguard , but this was purely for appearances. I even added an ebony thumbrest - useless but looks great! Wonderful basses, if you find a good one. Mine was one of the first in the country and has a lovely dark fingerboard.

Ryan bought my Tech 21 Dug - easy comms, quick payment, great to deal with! A trustworthy BCer.
