Bass ID game - Glasto edition

[Pea Turgh]

Watching Glasto on the tele with my family, I like to ID the basses for them (I know they really appreciate and the tutting is just for show).

 

This one had me stumped though.  What is this bass?

 

 

[MichaelDean]

I've also got no idea and would like to know! It looks cool!

[MichaelDean]

I found the bassist on Instagram. I've pm'd him...

Some gold logo on that headstock …

It's a Trent I think.

They make some tasty looking offset guitars.

@FishfacefourWinner winner chicken dinner!

Top detective work @Fishfacefour. They are ugly, for sure, but then so is the Mustang to some (at least I used to think so). However, they do have a certain something.

Maybe his mum bought it for him ouf of her catalogue?

[Fishfacefour]

I saw a really nice long build thread on the fretboard forum about them when I was laid up with covid a couple of months back.

The maker seems really nice and happy to share the process.

I've no affiliation and could never afford one anyway, but some nice pics of the build process.

Michael League appears to have left his usual bass at home and had to use whatever the venue had lying around. Any ideas? (I fully expect to be told it's some mega-$$$ boutique bass now)

Is it just me, or is the headstock on the first bass monumentally huge?

Always spot a few Kays catalogue type guitars on these weekends ,sound mans dream 

 

I do love that flat thud bass sound mind from some of the old semis and stuff

It’s a short scale (30”) so maybe he’s of small stature.

[Muzz]

So everything else is small except the headstock? Makes sense... 😀

Actually looking at the construction on the website and Instagram pages, the Trent looks very decent.  And that weird headstock instrument above has a flamed maple neck, so perhaps just not that familiar shape rather than Kay’s catalogue.

This appears to be a Bacci Amrita, and yes, doesn't look like they're cheap!

£1400 for a bolt-on neck and slab body with parts bin hardware? I don't think so.

As has been mentioned above, it's a Bacci. To be precise, it's a Bacci Amrita LTD Animal Tonal, with a heavily reliced, alder body. 

 

Just listened to the Snarky Puppy set on iPlayer. Not really my thing and ML's tone seemed to all fundamental and not much else. However, for the type of thing SP do, it worked, it certainly stayed out of the way of all the other instruments.

Chambered by worms, according to the maker...ohhhh nooooo, now we have Toneworms?

So you’re getting even less wood than you pay for? Pffft!

[fleabag]

Who the hell thinks less wood is a good thing, matron ?

What's this weirdo from St Vincent's set? (the bass that is). Full set at https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p0c7j7r8/glastonbury-st-vincent

[bartelby]

Is it not a BC Rich of some description?
