    I am pleased that the current management of Epiphone are recreating basses and guitars from their own past catalogues instead of imitations of the Gibson models and a couple of Hofners. Even though they were owned by Gibson since the dawn of time or at least Rock n roll time, they have a heritage of their own which is well worth recreation.

    Just found this stand on DV247 for £53.99 delivered. Ordered one and will see how it is a report further.

    Just heard that there Mick Jagger signature harps coming out. Who knew he could play one?

    I do play octave mandolin, but mine has a built in piezo which I think is Artec. However a cheap an effective solution is “The Cap”, a pickup in a bottle top which applies with a sort of putty to the front of the instrument. I used one a while back and it worked well considering the price. I looked them up on the net and Hot Rox still sell them.

    Great bass, a real classic. I hope the battery was taken out when it went out of use. It looks like it needs a really good clean.

    And add “law suit” there weren’t really that many!

    Great looker, makes me think I need an anodised plate. 🤔

    I had a black one about the same date. Cost me £99!

    If they’re going from E down to Eb you could fit a hipster d-tuner set to drop the half. The rest of the notes above are the same.

    I saw a band outside Starbucks in Seattle called Slimpickin’s and their bassist had an aluminium bodied upright bass. Sounded good.

    Not a short scale player personally, but I am pleased to see a reissue of this icon. Not sure I’ve ever seen an original outside of books and photos and whilst the Rivoli was every where in the 60’s I don’t think many of these crossed the pond.

    And that from the man who made a video saying why 5 strings suck!

    Some endorses aren’t players. As far as I know Les Paul never played bass, but he designed a cracker, his innovation was the low impedance pickup. It wasn’t overly popular in 1972, but nowadays its offspring is well regarded. I give you the Gibson Les Paul Signature Bass .

    Well I don’t suppose that’s a cheaply to plonk around on whilst you’re across the pond. I’ll bet you will want to bring it back home - import duty payable?

    Donnyboy’s was certainly awful. If buyers keep turning these there will a sudden burst of heavily discounted B grade basses coming on the market.

    Nice legs shame about her face - The Monks. (Not very PC this one, my apologies)
