The Eagle Bass One & I'd strip the black paint off it [url="http://www.bcrich.com/bass_eagle_one.asp"]http://www.bcrich.com/bass_eagle_one.asp[/url] Sorry!

My old Rickenbacker was made in January 2009 & the neck was thick like the early 50s P-basses. It was part of the appeal. So that ties in with this.
They did indeed have 32" scale length too but I've never seen names for either. I've just asked sellers / owners. I believe they just use the titles medium scale & long scale.

Just re-read & the words "masters" & "working" do put a different slant on things. I stand corrected
The Police were the first band I discovered outside of my parents record collection. Zenyatta Mondatta was my favourite album. I always rated Sting as a bass player. So Lonely, Canary in a Coalmine, Man in a Suitcase. He was working with a great drummer too
When I was studying there was no chance of me affording a new bass! I actually think the new standard MIM & USA Jazzes are both stunning. I never liked the MIM standards but since the price hike they have all raised their game. Also the 60s RI & the 70s RI are good fun
So far this is just serving to prove if you are an "as & when" type band it really is a nightmare trying to get fitted in on a Wednesday if you don't book a regular slot
I don't think anyone's ever posted a Basschat poll without someone complaining! What about those of us who practice as & when due to gigs, shift work, family, own businesses etc?
First I'd heard. I have a Buffalo Springfield biography on the bookshelf awaiting to be read so it'll be interesting to see if there is any mention of it.
Looking at the attached picture seems to support that
The Danos are always really good fun but I must confess they never seem to have much staying power & wind up getting sold on quickly (not just my experience but friends too).
