I wish Olympia flats were available in shortscale. I really like their longscale flats, not just for the price, I actually really like the tone and tension of them. I might try a set on my new Rivolta but I don't like winding the thick part round the posts.

Mercedes Benz (Sprinter) - Janis Joplin

Hot Hot Hot - The Cure

The above still stands. 😁 I've often thought that I could happily sell all the other stuff and only have a collection of Yamahas. But other stuff is fun too 😉.

Spanish Bombs - The Clash

Hot For Teacher - Van Halen

When I bought my BBPH I bought a used EHX Bass Clone cheap. It gets close enough to Hooky's sound but just as a chorus pedal I really like the crossover function where you can set the frequency that the effect starts, so have a really hard chorusy top end but leave the low end relatively clean, keeps it from getting too muddy. Good to see you're a fellow JD nerd. I've got all sorts of Hooky related/inspired bass stuff. I got a him to sign my BBPH and Eastwood Hooky Pro a couple of years ago.

You Can't Always Get What You Want - The Stones

Definitely out!

My Rivolta Duocato arrived today. Unfortunately I had practice tonight so I had very little time with it before I left. I was slightly worried ordering it as although it ticks every box for my needs, I'd never heard of Rivolta and never seen or heard anything they've made. There's no reviews as this is the first batch of twelve made. Well the gamble paid off, I'm a fussy bugger but it is beautiful and flawless. Lovely woods, aged cream bound headstock, fretboard and f hole, double bound body with checker binding to the front, slim neck, lightweight, set up nicely, even arrived in tune from the U.S. It sounds great, although the volume control is a touch on the on/off side but that's not a big deal. I'll get some pictures up over the weekend. I'm one very happy bunny!
