The image of Glen Benton sipping tea and eating scones with Kerry King works for me for some reason.

Aces High - Iron Maiden

Face Like Thunder - The Japanese House

Year of the Parrot - Primus

Nowhere Now - Steve Wilson

Slayer - Reign in Blood. 28:55 of aggressive perfection. I don't think I could cope if it was any longer.

Grambits is my new band name

Ok on a big scratch plate ? 

Hehe, not for me but it's not like anyone needs my blessing

He used to come into the cafe I worked in on Byres Road. Really nice guy as well.

Mogwai: Hardcore Will Never Die (But You Will)

+1 for Bass The World. Informative, great playing in many different styles and funny without resorting to schtick:

I also like Tim Starace from time to time... Mostly because of his facial expressions:

Dissolved Girl (Massive Attack)

Song title..? But anyway:

Starfish & Coffee (Prince)

Baby's Got a Temper (Prodigy)

Dear god that's a critical mass of awfulness.

Here I Go Again (Whitesnake)

Moonshine in the Trunk (Brad Paisley)

Portsmouth (trad.)

Kung Fu Fighting (Carl Douglas)

Elvis Is Dead (Living Colour)

So Blue It's Black (Tommy Guerrero)

I just thought of something else: logos on the body - I can (kind of) understand it on headless basses (still don't like it) but those 4 dots were the deciding factor that put me off a Sandberg. I was *this* close.

Flowers in the Mud (Golden Earring)

(Came in a second late but it still works 😅)

Even fiesta red ? Even the Pino P bass ?!?

Yep, for real. The Pino bass looks like a red car that has been left out in the sun too long. I don't like red cars either, now I think about it. 🤷‍♂️

@mcnach yep, I know it's a passive pickup and I take your point about youtube videos (although the signal chain seemed pretty legit but again, one doesn't know for sure). I'll think over the control plate swap - that's worth considering.
