check out the wrong guitar for the gig

I’m unlikely to be able to replace my L2 Steinberger in fact it’s in my will so the kids / grandkids know to pay attention

It has been well looked after - nice one

Yamaha P Bass (MIT) possibly 1986 * Ibanez Roadster V* Hohner B2A * Steinberger L2 Vester Bubinga Spector copy which I converted to fretless Stingray style* 1971 Jazz Guild Pilot V reissue DeArmond * 1989 Fretless Jazz Fender Longhorn* 1976 Precision 2005 Tobias Growler Arkansas* 1996 Tobias Growler Nashville* 2EQ Stingray Fretless unlined 2002 Warwick Fortress Flashback 5 2004 USA Stingray Sub 5

All these sold in NZ? was the Sub a 4 or 5 stringer ?

In 1988/89 I had a Hohner B2A, was well made I also had a try on a Hohner Jack which I thought was well made if a bit vague in the electronics department well done you - instrument looks great

looks like Roddy Piper

Advert from c.1980

Apparently they are marvellous . A cast over here in NZ has one, he loves it. As far as I can tell it's a great piece of kit for people who don't use an amplifier

Simplifier is simply the wrong name for that piece of kit

Careless Whisper Saxophone run is A Phrygian Modes - Diatonic Harmony - compulsory learning for me

Unlined for me previously had a lined (defret) aesthetic / vanity unlined is best , looks cooler

I use compression and a very light overdrive with my 2EQ Fretless Stingray for Blues and Walking lines. I like the original attack and bloom

looks sleek as apparently there was one here in Christchurch mid 1990's at CJ Charlie Jemmet's store Steve(Kiwi) got to play it I remember reading a Cass Lewis (TTD - Skunk) interview he liked the Cutlass

So I thought a Cutlass was a graphite neck Stingray and a Caprice was the EBMM version of a Precision... My Sub 5 is heading to the luthier's on 10/01 as I don't like the 10th fret at all. The neck however is good so assuming this "fret level" is not problematic I expect it'll be a good purchase.

Boss OC-2 Boss PQ-3B Boss BF-2B Diamond BCP Sadowsky Pre Amp all old, all great

Today was good

I used D'Addario half wounds for probably 20 years they are very sticky when new I don't use them anymore - flats only for me - Halfs are probably an individual feel thing they were good for calming down very bright basses

Fretless is fun. I wouldn’t be without one, in fact I would quite like a Fretless 5

Free The Tone Silky Compressor VCA type. Best I’ve used
