Kenny Lewis of Brad Paisley Band.

Just found this too: [url="http://www.talkbass.com/forum/showthread.php?t=454104"]Mike and his guitar mechanics![/url] [quote]I got a British luthier team called [u][b]Charlie Chandler’s Guitar Experience[/b][/u] to take the 12-string top half of a Gibson EDS-1275 double-neck, and combine it with a Yamaha TRB-4P bass for the bottom half. We went with the Gibson EDS-1275 because there are so very few solid body 12-strings made these days that we could marry to a solid body bass.[/quote]

[quote name='cocco' post='1049033' date='Dec 6 2010, 09:21 AM']What's the story behind the bass? Obviously it's a mongrel. Who built it and from what?[/quote] Allegedly it is a hybrid of a Gibson double neck and a Yamaha TRB or JP, The logo on the bass does not look like Yamaha but the bass does! [quote][/quote]Rutherford played mainly Rickenbacker and Shergold basses. He said (in 1979) of the early Rickenbackers he played that 'they were all borrowed from a friend. We'd borrow one, break it, then borrow another. Up until a couple of years ago, I didn't own one myself'.[citation needed] He also developed the idea behind the M-Series Steinberger guitar with the help of English luthier Roger Giffin and he used this extensively in the '80s and during The Invisible Touch Tour with Genesis. He also had a double-neck Status built for the Mama tour which featured a six string guitar and four string bass placed in a custom body. In the earlier years of Genesis he used to play Moog Taurus bass pedal synthesizer. Rutherford has also been onstage with various Washburn Idol models. Through the late '70s live tours, Rutherford often used a custom built Rickenbacker double-neck that combined a 12-string hollow-body guitar with a 4-string bass (now on display at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Museum). For the Lamb Lies Down On Broadway and Trick of the Tail tours, he incorporated a Rickenbacker 12-string hollow-body guitar and a 6-string bass, custom-built by Microfrets, in two different double-necks. A custom Shergold double-neck was made that had modules for 4, 6 and 12 strings guitars. The re-tunings required for early Genesis songs led to the development of Peter Gabriel's stories and introductions. Today with Genesis Rutherford continues to use double-neck instruments, when the arrangements demand quick switches between bass and 12-string instruments. [u][b]His current double-neck model is a Gibson 12-string guitar with a Yamaha TRB-4P bass [/b][/u]while he prefers Eric Clapton signature model Fender Stratocasters when playing guitar on later pieces.

Yamaha BB range are great too. I got one on ebay for £150 and someone bought one the next day for about £130 - BB414. Miles better than my MIM Jazz.

[quote name='gizmo6789' post='1057685' date='Dec 13 2010, 07:18 PM']I have a 1979 Ibanez Roadstar bass. It has horrible fret buzz and i've located the problem. Im sure its the Nut at the top of the neck ( the bit the strings go through before going round the machineheads. Does anyone have any experience in fixing this problem, im not really sure how to approach this. replies will be much appreciated.[/quote] Contact 7string on here, he'll diagnose and repair for a fellow Basschatter for half the price of anyone in the Glasgow area.

Great find CrazyKiwi!

Can you turn up without a bass as I'm shy at my Yamaha 414? (Obviously I'd buy a ticket!)

Often one of the guitarists uses a short scale Gibson EB that looks like an SG.

Hope you like the bass now!
