Definitely not this tune.

I'm fairly certain it isn't Steve Morse - both because of style and because I played all his records to death. 

I remember that at the time of Satriani's "Surfing With the Alien", an album was released by a lesser guitar god in roughly the same vein as the footage in the OP, so if there's a list somewhere, and one checks albums from 1986 to 1988, then maybe this can be narrowed down considerably.
Can't be of more help, sorry.

Guy Mann-Dude, maybe ?

It could be Blues Saraceno too...

Stupid Thursday : now £1100 GBP ! 

Sounds a bit like Eric Johnson...

I noticed it a few minutes ago Hellzero, it’s great 👍

I will never have enough kidneys to thank @Teebs... 

Go for it, £70 GBP is really cheap for such a rare instrument. 👍

I've been playing a Glissentar for some songs in one of my earlier band. The first reaction has always been : wtf is this ?

Liked that a lot.

Ps. loving the new profile pic 

So do I. 😊

Listen to this extraordinary saz player pushing the boundaries of this instrument :

 

That's simply a saz, a Balkan instrument. 😉

Great sounding amps, but WHY do they insist on the childlike colour schemes..... beyond me.

You don't like yellow, Harry ?

Yes, Gareth, let us know your thoughts after a gig or two. That head is under my radar as I need two channels too, but need to be able to mix them as I have separate outputs for the magnetic and piezo on my main bass. Working fine with the Ground Stereo Pre as it has the mutes on each channel, but I like to move as little as possible gear...

No head, no body? Is it just a neck?

Exactly.

If you're still after a 5 strings headless bass, this appeared in Germany : https://www.bassic.de/kleinanzeigen/unikat-von-skc.3785/

It has no body, but who knows, and the seller is after trades... 

That will maybe be Rikki's last crossing. Dante knows ?

Owl or nothing at owl.

Warwick LWA1000, Pascal 1000 Watts power amp module (considered the best ones to date) and twin preamp derived from the fantastic Warwick Hellborg JH PR40... A true versatile beast with lots of current and plenty of power, 1.9 kg and is smaller than a shoebox.

There's also the bundle with the gigbag.

From all the new class D heads I've heard, it's the best one money can buy for around £500 GBP new.

 

So is that the reason for the chili abuse ? 😁

A way to focus on other "things". 😎

Sorry I couldn't resist.

All things must pass...

A straight to the jack wiring through a 3 way switch and basta. Works fine. The question you should ask yourself is : Do I sometimes use the volume or the tone ?

As usual with my opinion, which as Bryan said...

 

Shame I have no empty pool for this pol.

So here is my opinion : USELESS, BLOODY, USELESS ! Reminds of something I've heard with lots of compression. 🤔

Waiting for @51m0n to sharp his knife...

And after all my moaning on here, when I got in touch Barefaced have refunded me the full difference between what I’d paid and the discount price. Anyone who wants to say “I told you so” is more than welcome to.

Should have told you so. 😉

The Fairplay fretless series was inspired by the Pedulla Buzz series with a quite similar body and a neck through construction. Thanks to the (now) full EMG electronics, this bass is very versatile with a Jaco reminiscent sound (even if it’s a Macassar ebony neck through). Listen to the small quick made sound clip (bass direct in the Steinberg UR-RT2 sound card, Cubase Pro 10 and exported to WaveLab Pro 9.5) to hear how it sounds. This bass has been fully shielded and is dead quiet. It’s close to a Noguera Expression Plus Custom as Christian doesn’t make neck through basses these days, so you’ll get mine for half the new price…

 

Thanks to the Res-O-Lite tuners, it’s perfectly balanced.

 

The bass has been fully set up professionally by Christophe LEDUC. It has a new battery, new output jack and has been fitted with a brand-new set of D’Addario EXL165-6 nickel round wound strings (30 - 45 - 65 -85 -105 -135).

What you see is what you get !

 

Look at the pictures taken under different angles to see the real condition : some very few marks, due to the age, but nothing serious at all. The pickups have now real foam under them and what looks like a ding near the output jack is a wood drawing reflecting the light... The correct closest colour is the one on the 2nd to 7th photo.

 

Don't hesitate to ask for more.

 

 

 

 

 

It's Marcel who is in charge of these warranty problems.

I can give his email address to the buyer. 😉

GLWYS.

Don't rush in, it's valid until Monday ends.

I had a Trickfish 1k and it didn't work out, in all honesty there was definitely something not quite right about it, it went back and the 'fix' made it worse.

 

Anyways I now have an EA iAmp Classic which is an absolute tone monster and as loud as bombs. Worth a try if you are still searching....

Funny to read this now, because I warned you at the time that TrickFish was pure typical American marketing bullsh*t and nothing else, but you didn't believe me...

Euphonic Audio are really terrific amps (and cabinets too), but sadly close to the unknown status over here, maybe because they are not into that typical marketing approach of their (same) country.
