    There was a celebrity Rush covers album a few years ago. Stu Hamm played on YYZ. It's not a direct comparison as the entire production is very different to the original, but Hamm's ultra clean and dry tone really doesn't work in that song. Not to my ears anyway!

    And one with the Rick... It's interesting that Moving Pictures is often heralded as Rush and Geddy's definitive moment, but Geddy didn't really use this tone before or after.

    And it comes with it's own welding mask!

    Sounds badass to me! And not just the bridge. I always think Geddy's Jazz sounds so much better when he's riding the front pickup only. I think he only played it that way on Moving Pictures though.

    I should point out that mine doesn't neck nive, so they're not all cursed (although it seems that most are!). Admittedly I did replace the tuners with Hipshots, but only for the look - it didn't neck dive with the stock tuners either.

    I'm alarmed at the dislike for Julia - it's one of the most beautiful and haunting things I've ever heard.

    The Vintage Classics are awesome basses - I've got one of the early white ones. I think it might have been the first one in the country! But I digress. Awesome basses, but they are MASSIVE - the whole thing hangs further to the left thanks to the strap button placement, so it's a longer reach to get to the lower notes. I'm 6ft 3 so it doesn't bother me but if you're used to short scale basses it might be uncomfortable.

    I played a gig with Beehoover once. I think he played a Spector.

    Ooh!
  10. Cosmo Valdemar
    I really like that!
  11. Cosmo Valdemar
    Excuse my ignorance, but why do the necks rotate?
  12. Cosmo Valdemar
    And plays a BC Rich Ironbird...

    There's a guy on one of the Thunderbird groups on Facebook that has that very bass, and is currently restoring it.

    He said it was to get more low end out of it. Not many people knew about the cap bypass back in the day!

    I love the Pedulla. Never seen one in real life, let alone played one! The shape has always appealed to me though. Gene Simmons' fault.

    This album was a massive influence on me when I was first learning to play bass - and that tone... It was an honour to meet Roger at the LBGS a few years ago.

    If you want that mammoth ivory tone, nothing else will do.

    I've never been a fan of Eric Clapton, associating him mainly with that horrible, glossy millionaire Blues. Learning more about him, I realise I really should give his earlier work some more attention. I found the part about his little boy impossible to deal with and had to turn it off. Absolutely horrific.

    £2.39 shipping, sounds legit.

    I had the distinct feeling that the poor chap at Andertons was a bit clueless. I've moved on a bit from the TW idea now, but who has them, out of interest?
  21. Cosmo Valdemar
    Me too mate! The bug has bitten! Any idea why they've used the EMG circuit instead of the Tonepump?
  22. Cosmo Valdemar
    That's crackers. I've been quoted £1999 for tye new classic by Bass Direct. I'd take anything Andertons say with a pinch of salt at the moment. I spoke to them last week about the Euro TW they have on the website. Despite being discontinued, the chap there insisted that not only could they order them, they come in the standard Euro colour schemes.

    Love those sleeve notes... "Bill is 21..." 🤣
  24. Cosmo Valdemar
    I was going to be 'that' person who points out that it's the Fender Jazz on Spirit, but I thought better of it 😉
  25. Cosmo Valdemar
    I'd be interested to hear it with flats! And it's only cosmetic I know, but those massive tuners look a bit daft...
