  1. Anything by Allan Holdsworth... but boy do I like it!
  2. So interesting post but at this price-point the next bass along will have a different set of +&-s requiring an entirely new strategy.... with some not so easily achieveable? I'm still in the camp of an Ibby 1506 which at several times the cost, is likely to have more of a solid fit and finish. Opinions?
  3. Well that's a feet of endurance and no mistake. However, as its one of my very favourite pieces of music - I'll be content to listen now and again. Not a player this one - at least for me...
  4. *Makes pouty face* Play under the chord not over it. F sounds good under a CM chord, as does an A or if you want to be saucy, make the C chord your extensions over a low D. If you want to stick to chord tones, the inversion starting on E sounds less dull than C. I'm not wild about the forthy sounding G unless it's completing a line.
  5. So it's an alternative version of this...?
  6. I hoped an MTD player would chime in with some of their experiences as some of MT's basses have this feature? Perhaps the system a bit more noticeable/useful on a guitar particularly in lower position chords where the intonation is 'iffy?
  7. Basschat gave us the last critical mass before the final dissoluton of the instrument to a historic footnote as a guitar variant played in the lower register by the tall friend of the singer.
  8. Oh wow! Not the Chad Valley shape... GLWTS...
  9. Skip the messing at the start but Mr Lobster does a good A/B comparison of the 1005MS and the 1505MS... comes down to whether you think woods and pick-ups make it...
  10. Oh sorry - that's not a bass but an unpalatable Tele mutant thing...
  11. To be fair, their 'Komodo Dragon's a steal at $30,000...
  12. Yes - good Euro-Jazz which you'll not be allowed to enjoy post Brexit. I think Pat Metheny's jammed with this lot which shows their credibility...
  13. Ah yes... on second look you're probably right..
  14. Ok I'll chime in with a guess that he's flicking the string in a sort of flamenco motion... The downward motion to his 'thunderfingers' tapping up stroke.
  15. Good Heavens! Who's a Lucky-Ducky?
  16. Did we find out who bought this in the end? What's the story behind what must be one of the most expensive basses in history?
  17. Oh sorry! Back to the OP... looks like the same bass? Fender (Maple) Precision?
  18. Slightly OT I know but here's Neil in an unusual setting of the mighty Bill Bruford and Allan Holdsworth...
  19. Are you sure that quality is transferrable? Wonderful looking bass... GLWTS
  20. Didn't Ritchie Blackmore do the whole Echoplex pre-amp thing first?
  21. Rock n Roll will never catch-on...
  22. I always click on these posts with a 'really!?' attitude and then learn so much about the provenance... Can't help but enjoy and learn. Modern life is rubbish, etc.
  23. I want one of those but with a whammy bar...
  24. They're a lot older than 60...
