Old Horse Murphy Posted May 23, 2008 Posted May 23, 2008 (edited) At the request of Martthebass who wanted to see if I had the guts to play a pink bass in public, here are a few photos of a couple of gigs played at the London Irish recently. One is a Charity Do and the other was a 30th Birthday. I have never played so drunk as I did on the Charity gig as the photo with me and my Stingray will testify (what on earth was I doing and who the Hell has stolen my neck?) Fortunately, I am led to believe this is my Jazz face, not my sex face (thank you Mrs Old Horse for clarifying that). Excuse the Cauliflower ears, the fact that I look like a builder and the shoddy technique. As a bass player, I make a mighty fine Tighthead Prop. I think Phil Lynott's title of sexiest Irish bass player is safe for a while longer.... Edited May 23, 2008 by Old Horse Murphy Quote
Happy Jack Posted May 23, 2008 Posted May 23, 2008 I thought that was [i]Bergundy Mist[/i] or something. It's hardly a DaisyRock colour, is it? I think your secret's safe for a while longer ... Quote

I really miss the P Bass and the width of the neck (the Jazz feels like a broom handle in comparison) but sonically it's so much more in my range. The pickups are a bit quiet, so I might put some Wizards in to it. Very happy though Quote

You could do a hybrid Jazz with a P neck if you don't get on with it ... or Jon could knock you up a special with a wide neck ... Quote
