I'd suggest posting a picture of the bass.

I know - I meant I don't know why Rush made that choice. (I have a couple of her albums and they are very good.)

I often sit down and listen to side 2 of Moving Pictures. I like Power Windows and Counterparts a lot. I never got into Snakes And Arrows. Their only bad album for me was Feedback. I'll probably sit down and have a listen to Roll The Bones, Test For Echo, Presto, and Hold Your Fire (I just checked out the video of Time Stand Still, which is very 80s and for some reason has Aimee Mann on it).

I thought you might say that - actually side 2 are my favourite Rush tracks! As for Alex Lifeson, here's him teaching the solo on Limelight!

What are those "filler songs" you speak of on Moving Pictures? (I like Permanent Waves too though!)

Moving Pictures is generally thought of as their best album; I like Grace Under Pressure and Clockwork Angels too. For bass playing, there are two especially standout tracks: (The solo is how to make two chords sound nothing like two chords!)

I've bought parts from them by post without issue. If I were to go to Sheffield, I'd likely drop in.

Insult -> ignore list I have to say I've not been particularly affected by brexit; other things of recent times have had more impact, including Covid, the lettuce, Ukraine, energy prices, taxes, and scamming drivers.

I'm not a fan of the one-string bridges.

Many things in life are due to political decisions, but they can be discussed without making them about politics.

it is a nice one; it looks like it has Ric-style strap buttons too; however, they're not in the usual place for the Japanese ones, so they may be a mod?

FYI, there's a Record Fair at Reading Uni this weekend (16th). I haven't been to one for a few years, but the last Reading one I went to (at a different venue) I met Jimmy Page.

I had to queue to get into the car park when I went a couple of years ago; not great after a 2-hour drive.

I hit mute when ads pop up; no music, but it's it's better than listening to the ads.

Apologies - I didn’t explain properly… The link earlier in this thread didn’t work, but then I went to your website and got it from there. It’d be great to have a link of it being played. I’m not a sight reader, but am keen to see if it matches my playing.

I meant the link from this thread (pg. 4?). 🙂

Thanks - I found it on your website!

Unavailable?

You transcribed "Bach" (Jeff Berlin)??? Coincidentally, I listened to that this morning!

I too can't have just one of something. I would like a Unicorn to go with my Flyte, though.

I'm sure @Bassassin might drop in to comment, but meanwhile... Grecos were predominantly made at the Fujigen factory, alongsids Ibanez, Electra, and other brands (they were essentially the same instrument with a different logo on the headstock). A good thru-neck one is probably top of the tree for vintage Japanese fakers. Some of the earlier bolt-on ones with different pickups maybe not quite so great.

I had an invite to go to their last final tour, but the ex double-booked me, so I missed out.
