I'm on my tiny screen phone, but think that is an original

Yes it is - I'm guessing from '68ish, but I don't think the photo is very old

How do I know? I always imagine you look like Duck Dunn.

Definitely 1960s model.

Not the best video, but the sound is quite alright. This was at Shepherds Bush Empire a couple of weeks ago and the sound is coming straight out of the Tone Hammer's DI post eq, which was flat with gain at noon and a bit of drive. I'm loving this bass!

I think when the singist introduced you, you should've done a massive heavy metal bass solo for about a minute and a half. Apart from that, it's great!

Haha! We joked during the rehearsals that I should do a slap solo

Thanks a lot for the video Eddie. Both the bass and the band sounds great!

I have ordered my own sample of the Coronado now, in sunburst. Will hopefully arrive somewhere in March. Can't wait:)

[Baxter]

3 tone burst? its beautiful. I put z pic of mine in the gear porn thread.

[wingum]

Yupp. 3 tone sunburst. I saw yours, very nice indeed.

Think I am going to put LaBella flats on it.

[Baxter]

Got to be flats my friend.

I've been playing with my Status and it sounds ace already, but my lovely Thomastik arrive tomorrow and I have feeling they will transform the Coronado into a proper beast! Looking forward to it.

[Baxter]

I got the status ones. the girl on the phone said they may not produce them anymore.

[Baxter]

just in case this applys to anyone else's guitar. I wasn't getting along with the volume controls, they were only winding up at the far end of the rotation and it was tricky to get a decent setting. So I got my tech to swap out the logarithmic 'audio' pots for linear ones that supply the power by what number its on rather than what you hear. Anyway it solved my gripe, yhe controls are much more intuitive
it works for me anyway.
