Catch us if you can - Dave Clark 5

Try twisting it slightly sideways so you are not so square on. I found that works well and you can pick up the dots easily. However I guess the purists on here will tell us to use our ears ‘cos there ain’t no dots on a real DB!

It’s so large it’s hardly any more portable than a DB.

Only ever heard of 2 of them. This is so subjective and depends on tastes in music. So in my view is probably a completely irrelevant poll.

I got my USA made Gibson EB5 for about the money you’re talking about. They’re so underrated but brilliant to play and a premium brand. Worth looking for.

I hope you’ve got a strong back and shoulders as they are boat anchors.

I assume it’s a semi your after and short scale. Have you looked at the Guild, there’s a thread on here, reasonable price ,retro looks and decent price.

Which one’s your mum?

That definitely needs a gloss finish, then it will look reasonable period correct. That graining is excellent but it needs a really smooth finish to complement it. When I had a lower model Roadstar fretless which originally came black gloss,I stripped it and finished it in a natural using boiled linseed it looked great even though it was only a sort of plywood body.
