I listened to an interview with Chris Martin IV of Martin Guitars, and he said the CITES people are aware that the rules for musical instruments containing endangered wood are somewhat draconian. Hopefully exemptions will be made in the future.

Yes, this is a good app. I use the iPad version. Slowing down and looping difficult passages is useful, and another good trick is to pitch shift the track up an octave, which can make the bass line stand out.

Agree with all the positive comments above. Excellent, reliable devices. I have them on both my gigging basses.

I remember library music like this becoming popular in the mid 90s. There were a number of great compilations released at the time, such as this one: https://www.discogs.com/Various-The-Sound-Gallery/release/608134

Yeah, I got a ticket for this. Was looking forward to seeing TL on bass in this band so it’s a bit disappointing he’s left.

Yes, I'm sure Rocco won't be playing, sadly. See "Tower Of Power's Statement On Rocco" at the end of this article: https://www.bassplayer.com/artists/rocco

Not my cup of tea, and a crazy price. But I do like the sensible separate control plate. I don't think I've seen that on a new Fender P before?

The Bass Gallery have a couple of Spectors in stock, according to their website: https://thebassgallery.com/collections/bass?_=pf&pf_v_manufacturer=Spector

Another post rock band from the late nineties, Ui. Made a couple of decent albums

They've just posted another interesting one:

A decent buy at the original price, but at £650 that's a steal.

The Drive control is essentially a variable AGS, so just turn it all the way down.

Here's my Shergold Marathon 8 string. I have read that they only made about 50 of them in total, so I reckon my lefty is probably unique.

Very pleased that one of my bands is now doing this. Great fun to play!
