    With all-chrome hardware (pups and surrounds), that'd look even more lovely. And something done about that frickin bridge... :D

    Chrome Bridge & Tuners with no pickguard. :gas:

    I understand the issues with the bridge but the Supertone looks so wrong! :(

    Last time I ordered 200 with print on two sides I payed import tax, nearly a tenner I think. Net cost was € 0.36 a piece iirc.
    Grippy big .88 triangles, they last thrice as long :P

    There were a lot of great bassists that appeared in the 90's that seem never to get a mention - Micky Quinn of Supergrass, Alex James of Blur, Colin Greenwood of Radiohead come to mind. Some great and inventive work ('Tracy Jacks' on Parklie has a bafflingly odd but totally perfect line - how did he come up with that?), and though the bands could be called niche (I know that for a lot of people, Blur are a bit Marmite) the bass playing was, I think, very good indeed. I learned a lot from my bedroom years, playing along to Parklife and In It for The Money.

    Colin Greenwood is absolutely fantastic, his technique is second to none and a lot of his playing is subtle.

    Bloom is a brilliant track & one of my favourite basslines by Radiohead.

    On a more recent, raw note, Jared Followill gets my vote:

    I'm just a drummer with strings most of the time... Unless the guitarist tries to be too flash, then I head beyond the 5th fret and show 'em how it's done!

    This is me, or so I've been told. Our drummer spends most of his time 2 bars ahead of everyone else, 70bpm faster than everyone else & wired off Pop Tarts.

    :D

    That was my first thought when I saw your OP...but I think that tab is also for the Leeds recording, and the Isolated Bass video is the IoW performance, if I'm not mistaken?

    You are correct :)

    Edit: Just realised, the video is also the Leeds recording. It just seems the tab isn't very accurate, or the person who wrote the tab it tabbed the wrong version.

    I'm lowballing this one. Anyone who is a serious bidder, go ahead!

    [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Maya-Fretless-Bass-/271367178850?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item3f2ebe8a62&autorefresh=true"]http://www.ebay.co.u...utorefresh=true[/url]

    Edit: Someone bid £10.69 on it!!!! I'm amazed by quite how low some people's lowball bids are, but that was a different thread.
