Midnight train to Georgia - Gladys Knight & the Pips

And what you get her?

Hello Dolly - Barbara Streisand

House of the rising sun - the Animals

What’s new pussycat - Tom Jones

Ughh

Go now - Moody Blues. (Think I’ve been here before 🥴🤔)

Diamonds by Jet Harris & Tony Meehan. At least you can hear a bass line without trying 🤣

Don’t know how you got to Young Americans but:- Amercia - Simon & Garfunkel

I feel free - Cream

A precision of bassists

Tie a yellow ribbon round the ole oak tree - Tony Orlando & Dawn

Cocaine - Eric Clapton

If you want to free up space, sell the piano🤣

I would ask why would anyone make it? It’s a bass and 5 strings are plenty, why double it?

Epiphone issued one for a while, never played one so won’t comment further. I’ve also seen one by Maya . I believe these are generally considered boat anchors 🤪 Hope you’ve got a good strong back!

Out of time - Chris Farlowe

Don’t join!

Haha, Cambridge near Dover.

Buying unseen/unplaced is always a risk. When you’ve invested substantial cash, you’re expectations are pretty high. I hope you settle with it and enjoy what looks like a really nice instrument. 🤞

It wasn’t so bad with Little Richard 🥴😁

Go now - Moody Blues

The Hollies - that dreadful out of tune wail which I think is supposed to be harmonica at the beginning of He Ain’t Heavy. Elvis Presley - Live in Las Vegas (I think), he’s introducing the band and forgets the name of one the backing singers. He has rather a lot of them so may be forgiven for not remembering, or may be it’s too many cheeseburgers and pills.

Comeback ABBA all is forgiven 🤪

Thanks @neepheid for the factory info. So probably just the marketing people saying let’s change the finish, we’ll sell more if they are a bit sparkly.
