Thorn In My Side - Eurythmics

The Wurm - Yes

The Streak - Ray Stevens

Absolutely. Add to that, he was actively touring and seemed fit as a butcher’s dog, it really came as a bolt from the blue, at least for me.

Oh Superman - Laurie Anderson

Part ex. Yes, I’m an enabler .

Lithium - Nirvana

You wanted a British luxury, niche instrument (that's what an Aston is, with some Mercedes and Saudi interest) and you were given Status. Job done, case closed.

Milk & Alcohol - Dr Feelgood

Trumper's = Fodera

See, tempting the GAS gods to make something available that you just can't resist; there lies trouble. Everything I have is of a very high quality too, but then I see a Hardly Bent One that looks so pretty and is, by default, cheap and boom, GAS (no, not that sort)! Beware the GAS!

That’s the kind of statement that will ensure that something will appear that you can’t refuse. Tempt the GAS gods at your peril.

Never! It does take a lot of getting used to, but I found the effort worthwhile. TBH, I tend to avoid the ‘70s output where Ged’s voice was the most shrill and have found my Rush niche in the ‘80 - early ‘90s era.

Broken Bones - Love Inc

Sounds like a P bass to me.

Another vote for a pedal, an octaver or chorus would be my shout.

Another entertaining video, Sir. 👏👏👏 For complete transparency - “Er, hello. I’m, er, Ezbass and I, er, like prog rock,” (shuffles away shamefacedly, whilst humming something in 7/4).

It is. I’ve worked with the drummer and backing singers.

Inherent Flub, top band name.

I have chums who play in Cloudbusting, they put on quite a show.

True that. If I had been designing that bass, I think that would’ve set the pickup back a bit so that it’s not in the P or J neck p/up ‘sweet spot’, more towards the MM position. If you’re going for different, go different. Also, I’m intrigued with the recent fascination for gold foils, which has filtered across from the skinny stringed market. They’re not the most powerful of pickups and plainly have some build issues. It does appear to be more of a marketing exercise that one based in tonal superiority. As ever, YMMV.
