Apparently I make sought after pre amps for basses, favoured by a chap up in Moffat....

His voice sounds like a strangled cat, they look like dorks, they write streams of hippy goblin nonsense land there's slathers of horrible, tuneless, metal guitar over everything. Mysteriously, all the commenters reckon they're musical geniuses. On the plus side they come across as nice fellas - but this rockumentary is dull as ditch water for all but die-hard fans. [/quote] As I said in the OP, I don't like Rush's music, and the documentary didn't change that, but they came across as the polar opposite of the willy waving, egotist in- fighting nonsense of the bands who's music I actually like.

I can't be doing with disorganized musicians, I don't care how good they are. FB messenger or whatsapp are such easy way of communicating with a group of people. There are no excuses these days, just laziness.

[quote name='visog' timestamp='1506180663' post='3376939'] Agree with oldslapper. Made me sad it's all over... (Whispers - still preferred his Rick) [/quote] Haha...i couldn't tell the difference in tone between his jazz & his ric tbh.

[quote name='ezbass' timestamp='1506180749' post='3376941'] If it's the one I've seen, it is indeed a really documentary. Did it have them in a restaurant having a meal at the end? They do seem very genuine, normal guys (for rock stars at least). [/quote] Yes, that's the one. The scene in the restaurant shows them all as very self effacing.

Had a few days in bed (on deaths door obvs) with man flu, so watched a load of music documentaries on Netflix. Ran out of bands/artists I liked, so decided to watch the Rush documentary. Not a fan by any stretch, always appreciated their musicianship mind. Anyhoo, I was left with the impression that they were a really nice bunch of blokes. Geddy & Alex's relationship seemed really warm & genuine, very little in the way of egotistic willy waving. Neil seemed to be the "loner" geeks'geek & I was moved by Neil's bereavement, & the way he dealt with it. Also, other than Geddy looking like the local warlock, Alex & Neil wouldn't look out of place at a librarians picnic. Having watched Eagles & police documentaries, where ego's and power struggles were pretty ugly, it was a refreshing change. Yes I still wouldn't choose to listen to their music, but I know who I'd rather hang out with. Of course it could be a massive publicity stunt, but I doubt it....."nice" ain't very rocknroll

[quote name='foxyFuze' timestamp='1506084149' post='3376348'] Yeah that crossed my mind too, but the head actually says 'jazz bass special'. A bitsa job perhaps. [/quote] Aah, couldn't see the writing. Always fancied a lyte.

Looks like a P bass lyte from the picture, but I haven't been on FB for ages so haven't looked at the ad

Good on ya!....have a blast, and as others have said, enjoy yourself.

I'm quite friendly....

These days the expression "what goes on tour stays on tour" is more about recalling than preserving, secrets.

I read it as "the first fretless manufactured by Indie", rather than a claim to being the first fretless manufactured by anyone.

[quote name='steverickwood' timestamp='1503712538' post='3360512'] You guys!! ;-) [/quote] 😊 Looks a lovely bass, reminds me of an Esh.

Just in case its a case of no case with case bass...
