    Genius? No doubt extremely talented, but if we compare to an acknowledged musical genius such as Beethoven can we really call Partridge a genius?

    Absolutely. If any contemporary musician can be considered a genius, then AP can totally be included in that list.

  2. Karl Wallinger, who sadly died recently, massively under acknowledged artist. I absolutely love Private Revolution, even it reminds me of an ex, who introduced me to World Party.

     

    Andy Partridge, XTC. Another genius who should get way more recognition.

    1990 Greco, all stock apart from Bartolini  pre (bass/treb) fitted by the previous owner…. I might convert it back to passive……

    Tokai…. same mods as the black one.

     

    Three very different basses in terms of feel and tone, although the Tokais are obviously similar.

     

    Really great players….. neck dive? Yep, not bothered really, and they sound fantastic. Awesome live.

    Meanwhile I picked up this really lovely Thunderbird pro in Trans Black….. through neck, active….. couldn’t resist swapping out the obligatory Jin Ho tuners (I must have at least half a dozen sets in my bits boxes) for a lovely set of Hipshot Ultralights….

  5. I had a fretless one, made in Korea, nice bass actually. Very nice to play, nicely put together, no complaints at all.

     

    However, it does depend on how much money you're talking about. Mine was about a ton and a half if I remember right.

  6. Sad news Ray, and thoughts are with you and yours. Make the most of life and spend it with the people that matter.

     

    Basschat, is absolutely a great place to buy and sell. The best thing about the site, is that one can ask for any advive, on any subject, and you will get help.

     

    It's worth noting that gear doesn't necessarily sell quickly here, but you are dealing with mostly fair and honest folk, and less likely to get any time wasters.

     

    All the very best.

  7. Great choice of bass. Fantastic quality and playability, you can’t go wrong. All you need is a nice setup with a nice set of strings, and away you go. 🤘🏻

    Gotta say I prefer the Fender. Much nicer, characterful tone. It has an 'identity' that the Sadowsky seems to lack....

    I had a Metro UV4 jazz many years ago. I didn’t like it at all, purely because for me, it had no soul. I preferred my Highway One Jazz at the time, which became my main gigging bass for a long time. The Sadowsky was sold soon after.

  9. I thought I went through some gear, but Nicks revolving door never stopped spinning. I had a fabulous Stingray 5 that was a “keeper” and the “best bass I ever owned”….. until I flogged it to Nick a month later. I think he had it about a week before he sold it on.

  10. The Aries bass was interesting to me, but I was a bit put off by some bad press regarding Mr Kiesel’s attitude towards some of his customers. So I went no further. Well….. I did…… I bought another Thunderbird instead.
