Right. these are apparently rubbish, and they’re slated everywhere and it’s a fanboy thing to do… but I’ve waited since I was 13. one is on eBay, 12 miles away. and it’s time for me to have a go, not that anyone would bid due to the reputation 😂 but please god, let me have a go.

Or, devils advocate…my 350 in the for sale pages ain’t much more 😊

£220 wouldn’t be better spent elsewhere

Just saw one of these in local PMT. They really look the part - didn’t bother trying it as some local bass hero was murdering what I think was a Chilis song on an Ibanez.

Well, the “twins” have been here for 11/12 years now, they’re the ones I won’t sell.

Yeah, Spector LX vs Jazz bass, Next to a BB 😵‍💫

Actually @Doctor J that honey/amber thing is contagious

You do something to me - Paul Weller

On a serious note… Nothing Else Matters - Metallica (wife picked that for ours) And a few weddings I played at had that Twilight song…”a thousand years”. there you go… Not “closer” by NIN.

It just suited that song - the drummer at the time was a bit crash/bang/wallop (we all know one or two of them; direct descendants of Animal from the muppets) And the rest of the set was a bit full on, the singer fancied herself as a bit of a Manc Adele… Anyhow, was about 5 years ago now, and I don’t have to worry about that song, that singer, or that band anymore 👍🏼

One rehearsal I was warming up and played the first chord (piano chord A but on bass) of “someone like you” by Adele. The singer said “ooh yeah, can we do that?” So without a piano player and with the song not suitable for a full band version - I figured it out for bass and vocal. Absolutely belting way to finish the first set at a busy gig. But those 2 men and a border collie gigs - it was soul destroying. We we’re about to stop doing it. and then we did a gig where half of the stages power went off - and it saved the day as the bass amp, mixer and one of the speakers were in the other circuit. (The landlord messed with the fuse box and we finished the gig as a full band) Never write off the songs you despise playing.

Love it.

“You shoulda been swallowed sunshine…” great put down.

Could make someone’s night though… ah. Ok. Sorry. no contex shitepost.

Wow. Love the Godlyke. Wonder where my blue one went… Anyhow, amber/honeyburst - see below

Man! That’s a beauty

It’s been about 10 years since my last DR trial. Maybe it’s time again - although I seemed to dislike them (hi beams I think) - I’m obviously a bit of a Goldilocks for strings 😂

I’m going through GHS 45-100’s like no tomorrow currently, love them but they die when you breathe near them - 2 rehearsals (so 8 hours play) and they’re useless, well…I’m exaggerating but at £25 a pop 😂

They’re great mate, a little firm for me - so I’ll change as I go. Bass is lovely though - many thanks x
