Cat Burrito Posted June 6, 2010 Posted June 6, 2010 I like it although I'd prefer it to be less busy with the pickup configuration. I'm sure that bass would fit in with many genres, being an occasional country player myself it's a very small part of the genre that is that showy. Quote

I'm assuming it has concentric pots. Is there ever a situation where you have two pickups but one tone and one volume control? Quote

discreet Posted June 6, 2010 Author Posted June 6, 2010 The rumour is, it was commissioned by David Steele, he of 'The Beat', later of 'Fine Young Cannibals' and producer of Gabrielle's top ten Album 'Find Your Way.' Perhaps someone can confirm? V&R didn't seem to be exactly 100% about it. Not that it matters, really. I've arranged to trot down to Denmark Street and check it out - tomorrow! What the bloody hell am I going to do? I love it already - If it's a player I'm going to be totally in the sh1t! Quote

molan Posted June 6, 2010 Posted June 6, 2010 I don't work far from Denmark Street - may pop in and have a scout around V&R this week. Haven't been there for ages, their listed prices always frighten me, lol. Quote

Sibob Posted June 6, 2010 Posted June 6, 2010 That '65 in Sonic Blue is ridiculous! Stunning to say the very least!! Not really feeling the PJ one, but if its a player, go for it! Si Quote

To avoid embarrassment, a gentleman would politely ask, 'how is the current mrs discreet' or whoever, because there was a fair chance she would have died and quickly been replaced in the interim, as it was not the done thing for a gentleman to remain unmarried for long...
