  1. SOLD

     

    Lovely, lovely little fretless here, made by Vintage, however I cant find any model number info anywhere on the bass, if you know let me know ;) (mystery solved - its a V940)

    Active circuitry, fitted with some unknown black flatwounds, it plays incredibly well. Knobs are master vol, pick up select, and bass and treble active pots, giving this a fairly broad tonal palette.

    Condition wise, very very good, I cant find any dings on it. The main body wood is some sort of bubinga/wenge type, with an open grain, but not as deep as wenge so I don't think its that. Weight is 4.2kg according to my bathroom scales.

    In summary, a really nice bass. Only reason this is being let go is I have too many fretlii as it is. Collection much preferred, although I do get around the country a bit with my various works, so could possibly bring somewhere near to you.

    Have you ever come across this blog before?

    In short, the guy digs around the various bootlegs and rarities to re-create albums that never were, or nearly were, or how they could have been. If I've understood correctly, this hypothetical reconstruction of Sheep is supposed to recreate how Nirvana's second album might have sounded if they'd stayed on Sub Pop. (Plus all the background info makes for interesting reading!)

    That is awesome, thnaks for sharing that

    No one seems to have much to say about the debuts from PJ Harvey, Amy Winehouse and Nirvana. Have to admit I've never listened to any of them! But very very happy with the three follow ups.

    Hmm, Dont know about the first two but Bleach was a classic, eclipsing Nirvanas later work IMO. i guess this is another one f them subjective threads

    20th Century Blues

    Why is it that civilized humanity
    Can make the world so wrong?
    In this hurly-burly of insanity
    Our dreams cannot last long.
    We've reached a deadline,
    A press headline, Every sorrow.
    Blues value is news value
    Tomorrow.
    Blues
    Twentieth century blues
    Are getting me down.
    Blues
    Escape those weary
    Twentieth century blues.
    Why,
    If there's a God in the sky,
    Why shouldn't He grin
    High
    Above this dreary
    Twentieth century din?
    In this strange illusion,
    Chaos and confusion,
    People seem to lose their way.
    What is there to strive for,
    Love or keep alive for,
    Say, 'Hey, hey!'
    Call it a day?
    Blues
    Nothing to win or to lose,
     
    ;)
