    Thanks!! I love this bass. I've had it for nearly a year and I'm still discovering new things. It seems to be impossible to get a bad or unusable sound from it. The electronics are fantastic.

    Edited to add that I waited almost exactly 20 months. Not too bad! It precisely matched Paul's time estimate.

    Ask and you shall receive; here are a couple of tunes I've done with it:

    Haha!! Thanks for showing that, Kulit! The fact is that I have intended to take better pictures of it before sharing it here, but that just hasn't happened since I've been too busy playing it. :P Thanks for keeping me honest!

    So without further delay, here we go...

    Shouldn't have sold my bass.

    I shouldn't have sold my first bass, a Hondo copy of a Gibson Explorer, bought through Friend A who got me into both bass and guitar. I think I was 18 when I sold it to Friend B, who promptly butchered the body in attempting to make it into a Steinberger! Ruined beyond recognition.

    Within another year or so, Friend A (who I got it from) passed away at the tender age of 22 and then I really started to miss that bass. :(

    I never knew there were '59 P's with matching headstocks! These videos are great fun.

    But I also wonder why he never even mentions Wal anymore. :( His Wal tone is the pinnacle for me as well, and at the time (as a teenager) I had no idea what he was playing but knew that it sounded bloody awesome.

    That's an incredible-looking bass! Very nice!! I must remember that mine will arrive some day. :)

    I am puzzled by one thing that you mentioned, as a general question: I wonder how they manage to keep the doors open if they only roll out 2-3 basses per month, while supporting two employees? I'm guessing that the rent must be quite affordable.

    Rush at their best?

    I just don't get it with rush ? Always thought them overrated but to be fair I've never given them much of a go as I was turned off by what I had heard......
    To those of you who are in the rush camp, please post a vid which you think will show me what they're all about.... Maybe you can show me what I'm missing ?

    (A genuine request, not a dig :) )

    Here's one that doesn't get a lot of attention, but is perfect for moments like this when someone makes a request. :P This also happens to be a good choice when Geddy's singing ability is questioned, because it's a great example of his singing talents. This song is called "Available Light."

    My goodness...that is STUNNING. I just found this thread and have spent the past two hours scouring all 18 pages. Waiting for my Wal is going to be a loooong time, but in looking at all of these shining beauties, I'm thinking of making a change to my order to get the gloss coat instead of satin on Padauk!
