The bass in The Metro yesterday - Monday 5th Jan

[MacDaddy]

In yesterdays Metro (freebie 'news'paper given out in that London) there were some pics from the Sony Photo Exhibition. One of them was a bassist, but I've not seen the bass before. From the bridge unit it looked to be headless and seemed to have 2 different style HB's next to each other.

Did anyone else see it?

Yeah I saw that. I was wondering exactly the same. Kind of looked alright!

oh yes, the Super Headless. Nice instruments, the gallery had one in a while back. I generally don't like Westones (as an ex-owner of a Spectrum II) but the Super Headless was a nice piece of work.

I wasn't very impressed by the photography though - it looked rather obviously posed by a non-musician in a photographers studio. This negated the "rock'n'roll action shot" feel they were going for.
Am I picky or what?

Nope, most photography is guffage!

haha.


Ive seen these somewhere before aswell. They look like nice bits of kit. Saw one on ebay a few weeks back.

This may have come up before, but does anyone know what the "guitar" picture you can select for a user account pic in Windows XP is, or is meant to be?
I've pondered on this for a while now. Sorry, I can't work out how to put the pic up here.

Ahh! nice one
What's going on with the one in the Metro though? Like I said, with a differing HB or maybe a ramp?

nah I agree. The way model didn't have their hands on the bass said non-bassist. If you know what I mean.

I'm sure previous consensus was that it's a [url="http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p312/JERMDADDY/tobias/tobiasswampashgrowler5001.jpg"]Tobias Growler[/url].

[waynepunkdude]

Hehe, Growler.

Thanks for that! I kind of had it in mind it might be a Toby of some flavour but I'm not all that familiar with 'em.
I just thinks it's nice they didn't just go for a generic guitar like a Les Paul or Strat...
