I got a bit overexcited when I heard this on telly the other day. Very unexpected! A wonderful album. Here's one from a few years ago that I find myself singing quite regularly. Raging Speedhorn, I think it was.

My thoughts entirely! I can't even begin to think how much effort this took, but the guitar tone is not good.

Indoor Games - King Crimson

I took a couple of pictures today in natural light. Shows of the body wood a bit better.

And with good reason!

Cygnus X1 - Rush

Face Up - Rush

That's actually really close to me! Bit of a weird ohmage though - 6.5...

My friend has just started his own pedal company. He's only got one pedal so far, but lots of interesting things in the pipeline. We're continually planning and discussing the ultimate bass overdrive, so hopefully that won't be too far away either! https://www.jamspavelin.com/

That's a typo.

It is very special. I will treasure it.

VERY different to my usual basses - and yours too, I imagine. It's got a very tight, modern tone, very growly, but very different from an old Precision for example. The body is dinky but very dense and relatively heavy. I always remember playing my friend's and thinking it felt like a tree, and it still does - very natural feeling, almost unfinished wood. Luckily for me, they love overdrive!
