    B I E D E R B E C K (Acoustic Set)

    Hi folks, looks like i'll be dusting of the Acoustic bass next month, we're in the midst of recording again, but want to show off a few of the new ideas, and warm up for 2 larger gigs at Academy 3 and an as yet unconfirmed London show.

    It's free to get in, and we've arranged a couple of support acts.

    It's at The Castle Hotel on Oldham Street in the town Centre (not too far from Piccadilly), our local boozer and a great little venue suited to this kind of gig.

    Please join us!

    I have days where I can't do what I think I can on bass.

    I just put it down and walk away.

    Other days I can barely function, yet my feel, and note choice seems pefect.

    I've noticed red-light fever is important for me too, I hate recording, but only on a track by track basis, so if one song isn't working, I move on quickly. Sometimes I jam with the drummer, just nonesense, that can help.

    It's frustrating, but 15 years in, i'm still down on myself, but I accept defeat and leave it. The next day is always different.

    I suppose putting pressure upon yourself won't help, sometimes i'm good, rarely I am awesome, sometimes i let myself down, sometimes i impress myself. But i'm still me with my bass.

    And I played simple EFFECTIVE lines, i feel better now i don't confuse the sh*t out of myself trying to be a hero.

    I don't really enjoy the appearance of the Overwater ones, although their other gear is lovely.

    I'm not about to put my hand in my pocket and pull out £4k anyhow for the time being, as per the OP.

    I think my initial point was how pretty they are, and I was curious if anyone had first hand experience.

    And 'Massively Underwhelmed' isn't what I got from the 10 or so modern Thunderbirds I played, but I see your point, the Ric's/Thunderbirds of this world are rarer beasties and are often held up as the holy grail sometimes, and often lead to a bit of 'aww...not what I thought' feelings.

    But for a bit over a Grand, I really bloody enjoy mucking around with them.

    Constant Rumours of a 'Reverse' Gibson reissue have stopped me doing anything just yet.

    [quote name='chris_b' post='1308572' date='Jul 18 2011, 10:59 PM']Bass Northwest has a 5 string white Lull T-Bass and a white Tom Petersson sig Lull TPT4. The list price for each is $5150.[/quote]


    :)


    Yeah, i'll put £3 aside every month or so...

    Yeah, the JAE thing i've seen before, i don't really like the fenderbirds in overall appearance.

    And it's so heavily linked with The Ox, I don't want people talking to me about The Who all night.

    I just really wouldn't mind a classic looking T-Bird, with the high build level and subtle mods.

    The Current Thunderbird is really nice for £1100 new or the £800 used, but i love those big chrome pickups and the retro aesthetic, as well as having fancied something of Mike Lull's stable for years.

    Yeah, the one with the pickguard and cover is the dream short of the cheapy looking white controls...

    But i'd survive.

    £3k eh?

    So that's how far off the mark I am, hopefully he doesn't stop doing them any time soon.

    Totally Skint at the moment, but circumstances will change soon enough i'm sure.

    But I keep looking at these And Drooling.

    I'm let to believe these are pretty expensive, just wonder if anbody had tried one?

    Now, BigRedX will be along to tell me that they have a Fender-Style non angled headstock, and it's a bolt on neck, and something else...(sorry mate, just sayin like, I've read you're after them and these issues put you off)

    But I Play a CS Fender Jazz mainly, so these little niggles don't apply to me.

    These are the two which have pricked my interest...

    Still got a bit of sorting of finances, but I'm assuming he operates a 'Pay A Deposit, wait a year..' lead time like most custom builders.

    And Yes, I can buy a Gibson, and pay for a respray, and the pickups and harware and have change left over, but this is all theoretical at the moment.

    Played a White 8-String Marathon in Music Ground in Manchester before it closed.

    I loved it, but it had an unworkable hump in the neck from the 3rd fret leading towards the headstock, suck a shame.

    In typical style they still wanted about a grand for it.
