  1. I used to use a 110 for drop C, but I liked the resulting grunt and rattle. I know @Wolverinebass uses DR DDTs for lower tunings, they're excellent.
  2. Beautiful! I've always loved these - the teal green/mirror scratchplate version has been a favourite since I was a kid - but I've never had the chance to play one sadly.
  3. Celestial Terrestrial Commuters - Mahavishnu Orchestra
  4. Dirty Linen's dead easy to play. At half the speed.
  5. Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is? ... Chicago
  6. Cheer Up, Boys, Your Make Up Is Running - Foo Fighters
  7. That reminds me of something that happened to me many years ago... one of our regular venues was a live rock/metal place of a Saturday night, but then instantly became the local nightclub/disco the moment the gig finished. And of course, the only way out was through the front door. I'm wheeling my Trace stack out, trying to get through the crowd, most people begrudgingly moving slightly, but this one bloke just would not move, despite several very loud alerts to my presence, so I just thought sod it and started wheeling. I realised something was up when everyone started screaming. Turns out he was on crutches and physically couldn't get out out of the way of the rolling Trace Elliott onslaught. Oops.
  8. Not great is it. That buyer in the US might have just lost out on his dream bass. Shame on the shop. Imagine if one of us had bought a bass there only for them to renege on the deal and sell it to a higher bidder, proper name-and-shame moment.
  9. Classic Rock is a very broad term, it could mean Highway To Hell or Won't Get Fooled Again. Warning - Quo is deceptively tricky!
  10. Bassbros often have old Alembics at very reasonable prices - a couple of years ago I bought a '76 Series in virtually mint condition. It was listed for £6,500 but I part-exchanged a Rickenbacker. I know £6,500 sounds obscene but for a bass of that heritage, vintage and condition, and compared to what it would cost new, it's a bargain.
  11. Thanks... a bit too dear for me 😄
  12. Have to join the group to see it! How much are they asking? It looks amazing.
