  1. There was also the "Rimini", which was kind of a 4005-a-like bass.
  2. Big in Japan - Alphaville
  3. Hit the Lights - Metallica
  4. Strange Brew - Cream
  5. Always thought the BTB was a great looking bass. GLWTS.
  6. Tech21 Sansamp BDDI Programmable or the Bass Fly rig V2 could be a good start if you need lots of different sounds. The BDDI & VTDI Deluxe have been discontinued, but you may be able to find one second hand on here, or in an online market place of your choosing. Great, because they give you loads of different options. There's always going down the digital modelling route with something like the Line6 PODGo, HX Stomp, Boss GT Core, Headrush, etc.
  7. Jack of Shadows - Hawkwind
  8. I had a VTDI Deluxe for a while, wasn't that keen on it after having played about with it for a while. Bought a Bass Fly rig V2 not so long back, which has both the BDDI and VTDI circuits on board, tried the VT first, and couldn't find anything I liked, switched to the BD and there it was. Maybe look at the BDDI instead of the VT.
  9. Burial at Sea - Saint Vitus
  10. Yep, toothpick / cocktail stick / matchstick in the hole. Don't necessarily need to use glue, just the tension of new wood will hold it, though some PVA would give you a bit more security.
  11. So tempting, but no band & too far away. GLWTS
  12. But we all thought it...
  13. Get a Grip on Yourself - The Stranglers
  14. Behind the Wall of Sleep - Black Sabbath
  15. Some of those Seldon basses look really cool, sort of a modern Grabber vibe.
  16. Shakin' All Over - Johnny Kidd & The Pirates
  17. Enjoy your new toy. It may take some tweaking to get it exactly right for you, but it's worth it IMO (just like any other bass really). There's always changing out the bridge for the Hipshot, or finding the Babicz saddle unit.
  18. Bizarrely, it reminds me of the Ovation Breadwinner (before anyone says anything, the pic is of the Eastwood Breadwinner, not the Ovation)
  19. Another thing I've noticed about mine (old & current), is that they seem to be quite finicky about strings. I've had to try a few different brands before finding some that my bass seemed to sing with (D'Addario ProSteel), all the others just seemed a bit lacklustre in comparison. It may be a case of trying a bunch of different brands and finding the right set for your bass.
  20. And all the more reason to buy one second hand... it's already been "relic-ed" by someone else
  21. Indeed, I always hoped that Geddy & Alex would get together and produce some new music, let's hope that they still do. Let's also hope that they come to Europe & the UK too.
  22. Bullet the Blue Sky - U2
