Guy Pratt's old R*ck 4001 - as played on the live screening of the Saucerful of Secrets gig from the Roundhouse - sounded great and IMHO beat his collection of Fenders, Bass Collection and Warwick. Sacrilege around here but there you go!
Not at all. I’m firmly of the belief that there are some real crap ones around - I think I’ve owned quite a few of them, but you get a good one and wow! What a sound.
