LOL I couldnt tell one Walker Brother from another so I just generalized. PS I dont believe they were brothers,nor Walkers for that matter.Their surnames were Engel,Maur and Leeds (Wiki)

Problem solved guys.Thanx.

Well done guys.Question answered. PS What about that 6 string? The headstock seems a bit squiffy.Same stable?

Can anybody identify the bass that this Walker Brother is playing? Looks sorta Fendery but the scratchplate is all wrong.

Two spring to mind.When I lived in Glasgow McCormicks of Bath St was the go-to place for me.I bought the only RED Marshall stack I've ever seen there back in the 70s. Again in the 70s in N.Ireland,Jack Evans Musical in Bow St Lisburn was the centre of excellence.Bought my Fender P bass there in '70.

Alan was the original bassist on the London cast production of Jesus Christ Superstar.Some sterling bass work on that album.

Rolling Kilograms

'Strings come with original packaging and come hair as they were kept by John McVie.' Come hair? No thanx very much😄

Sunburst and Tort forever.Also plain chrome control plate.

'I Can Hear the Grass Grow' by The Move.It has an opening riff played on bass.Took me ages to get right.14 I was.(simper)

'Sufferin' sukatash' was a favourite utterance of Yosimite Sam IIRC.

What I have discovered though is that the tremolo effect can only be heard when I use the 'Line out/headphone' socket.Also the effect is present overall,just more pronounced at the bass end.Not to worry,as its only for practice purposes anyway.Appreciate your input BBS.

I've never tried using the bass on its own.I must give that a try.I cant share any music as its original material and the author has asked/told me not to.But thanx for that anyway. PS.I'll tell you what I've done.I recorded a few seconds of bass through the Tascams mikes and on playing it back thru headphones,the 'tremolo' effect is prominent.On playing through the mini stereo amp I use with my PC,connected to the Tascams 'Line out' the effect is there BUT..Connecting the Tascam via USB and playing the tracks,The effect is gone.No trace.Tearing my hair out here.☹️

I use a Tascam to record my mates acoustic guitar and my bass in rehearsing some of his original material.I'm through an amp and hes playing and singing acoustically,My problem is that on playback,the bass sounds like it has an added 'tremolo' effect. We've tried different locations for the Tascam but that same effect is still there.Would it be down to room acoustics,do you think? Thanx.

Yeah all good now.Minor glich.Had to change my PW tho'.
