Ooh, what one? I'm guessing not the Telecaster one

Yes, definitely! It's quite something. The gold is next on my list! There's a red Anniversary model on Ebay at the moment if that's your thing... I was tempted. Actually, a case is next on my list. Good luck with that...

Another glamour shot.

Incidentally, I finally got to play the bass amplified today. It disguises itself as a refined, almost genteel instrument, but there's a growling beast hiding in there! It responds extremely well to distortion - I tried it with five different distortion pedals of varying ferocity and it loved them all. It's a bit of a cliché but it's a very honest tone - it sounds just like it's acoustic sound, only... amplified. My '51 Precision was similar but that had a looser tone, spiky and a bit wild. Absolute joy of a bass. I picked up my Rickenbacker after and it felt like a brick.

It looks like you need to add a couple of foam spacers under the Hipshot to make up for the gap caused by the archtop. We'll see.

Interesting... perhaps I was hasty buying the Hipshot.

I've got a Hipshot on the way... does the Babicz leave a gap along the bottom edge?

Let's Pretend - Life Of Agony

Chocolate Salty Balls - Chef

This. My Dano Longhorn can do it.

Love Beach - ELP

Goodbye To Yesterday - Spock's Beard

This is wonderful. Look how happy they are - especially John. Made me quite emotional!

This thing is an absolute delight to play. Gorgeous neck, thick but very fast.

In My Life - Johnny and The Moondogs

IT IS HERE

I find these most unpleasant to behold.

Down By The Seaside - The New Yardbirds

Sonically, yes. But the Dutch angle and oblique lighting didn't capture the true visual lustre.

I thought I'd be different, so I went blue. I watched the Andertons video and couldn't resist after seeing it in action.

It is done.

Hippy Fascist - Pulkas

Clap - Yes

I'm in a pickle. Blue... or gold?
