Already in Dorset... but I'm not going to use it and I'm not comfortable with flipping.

BEX 4 are fab

[quote name='dyerseve' timestamp='1510061023' post='3403614'] it's the right plaice for it surely? [/quote] I suppose it does have a porpoise.

Okay, this thread is going to exactly the sort of place I was hoping for Thanks all

[quote name='T-Bay' timestamp='1509912243' post='3402582'] If you look at the link and the controls it’s a bit tongue in cheek, the increase hair growth rate and call waiter controls had me chuckle a bit. [/quote] I liked the "drummer tempo" switch, personally

I presume "naturally" means "unamplified", but it doesn't look all that good acoustically.

That is definitely hideous. It has that G-Plan home-assembled furniture look, possibly involving Formica.

[quote name='Woodinblack' timestamp='1509732366' post='3401312'] If you find a good sound, you could spend a lifetime trying to find it again! [/quote] You'd have to take a photo of the control settings...

Interesting how little visual change there is in the waveform on the different settings. Also the psychological difference. That's worth remembering, IMO, because I think it comes up all over the place - notably in the media (and advertising, whether it calls itself that or not). It definitely looks best with the white 'plate.

[quote name='Vinny' timestamp='1509793454' post='3401668'] I had one of those a few years ago, the only acoustic bass I regret selling. [/quote] Did you keep a note of the serial number, by any chance? It would be nice to get some idea of the number Peavey made.

Agree with Dave. Their influence is huge. No Beatles, different world.

I'm not allowed alcohol for medical reasons. I wouldn't want my strings to make me ill.

I don't mind the carry handle. But everything else... it's possible to do this sort of thing well, but that isn't it.

Would have been, but too far. Thanks anyway

Guessing that the bass has been detuned for the photos?

Thanks all - some useful suggestions there, much appreciated. Now to convince the others...

[quote name='thebrig' timestamp='1509662832' post='3400768'] Judging by all the mixed comments, I think it's definitely a MARMITE bass!!! [/quote] If your Marmite's that colour I wouldn't eat it if I was you

[quote name='FinnDave' timestamp='1509178196' post='3397117'] Well done, that one had been gnawing away at me for months! I have recently discovered a way round my injuries to allow me to play a modified finger style, so my pick playing days may well be numbered. Then I will discover whether the 'birds are any good played that way. [/quote] Glad to hear it.

Oooh. Does he do a fretless five?
