    I keep coming back to this fabulous looking bass, just cos it's awesome really and it is the 5 string black version of my 4 string white. I've not played it obviously, but I'd lay a fair amount of money it's an absolute beast of a bass. The only thing that's stopping me is that, as age creeps on, my hands aren't what they were. My go to 5 is a custom shorter scale which I am fully synced with. If I was 10 years younger, I would have snapped this beauty up. In fact, I can't really understand why it hasn't sold yet. GLWTS @Papabull.

    Now that is a nice looking bass. Can’t really justify another 5’er, but I could….

    Bought a pedal from Greg last week. Very quick despatch and wrapped well. Faultless transaction. Thoroughly recommended. Thanks again.

    I think you’re underselling yourself a bit there mate.

    @cetera’s card is the one that’s going to scoop a few with ‘number of basses’.

    Yeah I’ll have it

    Probably rather that than Parkinson’s, but that’s no joy ride either. Poor bloke.

    As I mentioned before, the clips I've seen of him recently do seem to indicate a cognitive issue. He really does seem lost at times. Really feel for him. It makes me think of Brian Wilson and all those we've seen before pushing the envelope when time should already have been called.

    Nope. Still none the wiser.

    Have you got any bushes in your garden? 😎

    Just watched the BBC thing. Very enjoyable. I was a but disappointed that my favourite ELO tune wasn't featured. Imagine my shock when I interrogated setlist.fm and discovered that Jeff Lynne's ELO have never performed it!

    I've seen a few videos from recent shows and Jeff cuts quite a sad figure, not being able to play guitar. He also seems a bit lost in front of the mic at times. I'm not sure that's the way he would want to end his live career, but I guess there's quite a bit of money involved so cancellation would a last resort. Such a shame as I love ELO and Jeff bringing the music back after such a long absence was a wonderful thing. Wishing him and the band all the best.

    Fair enough. Let me know if things change.

    Yeah I’ll have it @iamtheelvy

    Hey guys. Genuine question (and I may be misunderstanding something somewhere)….everywhere else seems to be selling the standard version at £3799. How can you undercut by £300. That’s quite a chunk on a bass that has just been released.

    I'd like to try one. I'd be interested to see what the asymmetric neck feels like. Bit of a cheek not supplying a hard case for that price.

    Pre-ordered. Vinyl ain't my bag, so went with the CD set. £111 on Amazon.

    Popped up on my FB feed this morning. I’ll be front and centre for this. One of the very few artists that I’ll blind buy for.
  21. hiram.k.hackenbacker
    I've only seen bits on You Tube, but it's a good set. It will be interesting to see what changes (if any) take place over the dates of the tour.
  22. hiram.k.hackenbacker
    I'd pre-ordered and received it on physical media before this was announced 🤷‍♂️. Bit of an unusual move for the ZFT, but I would have bought it anyway.
  23. hiram.k.hackenbacker
    They are all just freakishly good. I saw them live fairly recently and was not disappointed. I played that first album to death when it was released. Still have the vinyl today.
  24. hiram.k.hackenbacker
    Really enjoyed that.

    Someone needs to say "NOW SOLD" 😎
