    I did not know that. It sounds, to my ears, like a series of arpeggios stemming from some sort of scale that I could not identify. My guess would be that Mr. Garcia is more likely citing Horace Silver than Steely Dan.

    Bump for a pretty bass. GLWTS

    That fill at 1:34 is very reminiscent of the marimba-esque instrument at the beginning of Rikki Don’t Lose that Number. (nerd alert)

    Oh that looks just gorgeous. It looks like something Ian Allison would drool over. GLWTS Bump

    Thanks @Bassassin that is really interesting. Clearly you know your bass facts 👍

    This looks interesting. A C.G. Winner from the 80s. Anyone familiar with these? I’m not about to buy it, but I am intrigued. A wonderful longscale bass, made in the 80s in the legendary Japanese Matsumoku factory. The walnut body has the classic precision shape, but a continuous maple neck. In addition, string-through for even more sustain. The rare Firepower Blade pickups provide powerful sound. Side rider and groove are made of brass. Everything is original and works flawlessly, the neck is straight, the string position is low, the strings have hardly been used. The bass weighs 4.3 kg and was discontinued some time ago at Berlin Guitars. I had glued the cracks of the attached body parts with a special glue. However, this glue was very thin, so there are a few traces. In addition, small things and dongs. From a distance, however, a very impressive bass. Complete with lightly padded vintage carrying case. Glad to test and pick up in Berlin-Mitte. The goods are sold under exclusion of any warranty. https://www.kleinanzeigen.de/s-anzeige/c-g-winner-bass-vintage-precision-syle-80er-matsumoku-japan/3084532179-74-9668?utm_source=copylink&utm_campaign=socialbuttons&utm_content=app_ios&utm_medium=social

    Tame the mwah? That’s interesting. I always thought that the accepted wisdom was “the mwah the merrier”.

    My older brother went to see Roxy Music play in a club either in Liverpool or Birkenhead in the early 70s for 64p.

    And I love the fact that, even through telephone speakers it sounds sooo like a pbass.

    I still want to add some stickers, but I don’t really think that that counts as modding.

    Yeah, I’ll stick with the A-D-G tree.

    Ooohhhh, that finish looks rather lush. Back of the net!

    Correct. I need to use the bass tomorrow evening, so I won’t faff about with Fender jobby. I’ve put two coats of lacquer on this evening. It’s decal in the morning, drying time plus 2 more coats of lacquer and then remount the lot. Boooooom!

    I noticed that @PaulThePlug ‘s HB50 had a Fender style string tree. Indeed so does the stock picture on Thomann’s website. Mine looks like this.

    Well, after some fairly ropey cutting with the scroll saw - thanks again @PaulThePlug for recommending a wide berth, scaring the crap out of myself electrical sanders and finally resorting to a rasp and sandpaper, here’s the first great leap… So, a couple of coats of clear lacquer before bedtime and tomorrow’s the decal 🤘🤞

    Absolutely love that song. Ai No Corrida - great horns.

    I was thinking of marking with a fairly chunky Sharpie and cutting to the outside edge?
