Which one's which?

On a serious note, as a budding 14 year old bassist, I LOVED that tone when he's playing the black Precision in his bedroom, pick scrapes included.

I pimped mine a bit too - Gotoh res-o-lites were added mainly because they look better than the stock Wilkinson tuners, but they are a bit smoother as well. Neck dive was never an issue in the first place. I've also added an ebony tug bar, purely for appearances! edit: Just realised I've added pictures of these mods earlier in the thread.

I have one of the very early Vintage Pros with the dark fingerboard. I love it - it's everything I've ever wanted from a Thunderbird. And I love the narrow but deep neck.

I think we need to see a pic of you actually playing the bass, just to be sure it isn't actually a P Bass by mistake.

Beg pardon?

I tried that before. The offer was lower than I had hoped, unsurprisingly, but to their credit they were honest and suggested I'd be better off selling privately. Much better than the time Anderton's offered me £75 for my Epiphone Elitist EB3...

Jimi at Planet Guitar. He's worked on all my basses and he does amazing work. https://www.planetguitar.org.uk

Didn't you sell me a Markbass many moons ago?

Hey, Mr Bassman!

£3,395?!

My current band certainly noticed when I turned up with my Rickenbacker. Our singer is absolutely disgusted by them.

It's an absolute racket.

That sounds a lot like my Tech 21 Dug in places.

Fantastic album.

I've always taken that with a pinch of salt. If you pick the string then hit it with your thumb you get a pinch harmonic - something CS certainly used as an effect from time to time, but it certainly wasn't a main part of his usual tone. If you look at the Master Licks (?) Video on YouTube CS describes and demonstrates thd technique.

He's back!

Geoffrey masters Wakeman and Moraz's keyboard parts.

That sounds so enticing. But it does seem very expensive for what it is.

Looks like a Jedson 😆

If the singer ever Googles himself he might make the decision for you...

What is this?!
