I played there a few years back - no problems whatsoever. There's a charming little room off to the side featuring gyrating 'lovelies' around a pole so be careful where you wander. ..

[quote name='hoochiekoochie' timestamp='1415970009' post='2605692'] That's it. I didn't have a try on this model, but from what I can hear, it sounds pretty darn close to old Greco replicas, from late '70s and late '80s, which don't require so many bucks. [/quote] From this video, it sounds just like my old Greco.

[quote name='blue' timestamp='1415986362' post='2605898'] The PUs are so different , much hotter on the Gibson, and my 91 has a much thinner neck then the new Gibsons or the Epis. Blue [/quote] The Epiphone Classic IV uses Gibson pickups I believe. Same as the U.S. Thundrbirds. The bolt-on Epis have different pickups though.

[quote name='RoRi' timestamp='1415722382' post='2603050'] To argue about taste is senseless. Some people like to listen to modern music and others still like to listen to Deep Purple, Mud and Status Quo. That's okay by me.

Congrats on two stunning basses! Particularly the fiver, I've never seen one of those outside of a magazine! I'm a massive Spector fan, I've owned about ten over the years but sadly have none at the moment. This thread is not helping my addiction one bit. And while I'm here I'll give a little shout of approval for the Rebop line as they seem to be getting a bit of a hard time on here!

[quote name='Prime_BASS' timestamp='1415434427' post='2600219'] I don't see them making a come back in full, as I'm sure the filings for bankruptcy will have a catch or two. Also at 2.5k upwards still a very niche item, you can spend the same and choose a 5 piece body wood with loads of carves and bells and whistles. You could part up a similar bass for a lot less than the price they are asking. [/quote] That was never an issue before. And no amount of carves, bells and whistles will give you a Modulus, if that is what you desire.

Gorgeous. I still want one.

I think he needs a new nickname.

[quote name='karlfer' timestamp='1415199296' post='2597768'] Think it's Who's Next, Craig Addecott's band, but don't quote me. [/quote] Sorry to quote you but it seems it's a 'house band' with none other than Mr Palladino on the bass. Well it is according to Ticketmaster!

£73 - £85 a ticket?!

Beautiful! Grog from Die So Fluid used to play one of these with Feline back in the day.

[quote name='Truckstop' timestamp='1414493999' post='2589738'] John Patitucci and John Petrucci are two different people [/quote] Indeed they are! Senior moment.

[quote name='Marvin' timestamp='1414484148' post='2589606'] On the Yamaha website they only seem to be producing one signature TRB, the John Patitucci 6 string. And if you browse the online stores many of the other models say discounted. Seems an awful shame if they have. EDIT. They might still be doing a 1005j [/quote] Do you mean John Myung?

That is one beautiful bass...

Another vote for the Korg Pitchblack! Mine is a rather fetching metallic green.

Very sad, but not a massive shock. He looked extremely frail in his last BGM appearance. Still, a huge loss. I was never a Cream fan but his early solo albums are among my favourites. I think I'll dig out my EB3 tonight.
