Roland Rock

From his website: "My main Bass Guitar is my LG3006 built for me by Keith Roscoe and crew at ROSCOE GUITARS. I also play the fine basses made by Mike Tobias at MTD BASS GUITARS. In my stable of basses are bass guitars from Yamaha International, Pat Wilkins Basses, Innerwood Basses, Wyn Basses, and Mayonnes Basses."

I understand that they are not quite as easy to fit as a standard wooden neck, as the heels are actually hollow with very thin walls

I'll add to the praise for Bear

Ritter:

Plywood bodies tend to have a more 'layered' sound, kind of a 'multi-tiered' tone with alternating timbre directions ;-)

Gorgeous

[quote name='tredders' timestamp='1383949672' post='2271292'] Strong rumours he'll be using my '73 Telecaster bass for the tour, too [/quote] That's pretty cool - did you sell it to him? I'm assuming he didn't steal it :-D

Looks superb, Pierre, look forward to reports on that pickup. I'm still enjoying your old W&T

[quote name='xilddx' timestamp='1383995882' post='2271630'] Cus she luk pretty init. [/quote] Haha, I need to use more smilies. I was attempting Caroline Aherne humour (0:55) http://youtu.be/Lj-9lSEBBm0

The best colour combination for a stingray IMO. Lovely

I couldn't watch the vid as it was removed by the copyright holder, but I checked out her version of Get Lucky. Plodding and uninspiring I'm afraid. I'm genuinely baffled how this girl in hot pants could get 300k hits.

What type of bass is it?

Shark attack

[quote name='JapanAxe' timestamp='1383904056' post='2270524'] Day off today, so into the shed with Gary and Chuck! [/quote] Now there's a euphemism! :-D

[quote name='JapanAxe' timestamp='1383903534' post='2270512'] Cheers for that. Did he by any chance play on Roberta Flack & Donny Hathaway's version of 'You've Got a Friend'? That's just lovely. [/quote] That was Chuck Rainey - no wonder it's lovely!

I love those basslines too. Here's some info from a Google search: Gary King The late New York studio vet (Bob James, Roberta Flack) played on the Jacksons album Destiny [Epic, 1978], including the hit “Blame It on the Boogie.” http://www.bassplayer.com/article/men-in-the-mirror-the-bassists-of-michael-jackson-how-alex-al-and-his-predecessors-pumped-up-the-king-of-pop/4769

Just watching Paul McCartney at Maida Vale. The chap who plays bass (when Paul is on piano or guitar duty) is on an Epi JC bass, and very fine it sounds too

Gorgeous singing voice

Excellent, what an honourable man. Would I turn down a gig replacing Paul Chambers in Miles' band? Absolutely, to spare the musical train wreck, the extreme embarrassment and the hasty firing that would inevitably ensue.

Superb stuff

Ironically, it's the receipt for postage of a Genz Benz Focus cab

That doesn't work for me. Sound cloud makes things pretty easy

Although I play my 5 the vast majority of the time, I couldn't bear to let my P go. Besides, when I'm older, fatter and greyer, I'll need it for the obligitary blues-rock pub band.
