  1. Answering my own question....no its not, the symbol on the Precision really gives it away. This was c 1982
  2. OK, I have found this interesting. I take it the bloke I took a picture of a long time ago was Michael Dempsey:
  3. Weighs exactly the same as my Wal II 5er. Beautiful bass. Wish I was right handed (with very long arms)
  4. Looks lovely! How much does it weigh?
  5. then of course there's this (fantastic bass line)
  6. As in: "infamy, infamy, this bass has got it infamy!"??
  7. I'd buy it if the kitten was included (Joke!)
  8. So Arcade Fire swap the drummer as well. Is this the latest thing in displaying musical ability (bah humbug!)
  9. https://www.notreble.com/buzz/2021/06/26/the-fearless-flyers-lost-my-treble-long-ago-live-at-msg/ Looking at this vid, it is slightly odd seeing Joe move and the bass not..... It looks a good arrangement though. Anyone else use bass (playing) stands?
  10. If it's any help, I used a bike box from halfords (double wrapped) to get it up to big thumb, and kept the side grab handles of the flight case exposed, so the courier could use them (With lots of 'this way up signs')
  11. Shouldn't it be "Asphixiates from Boston.....10 letters?" I am really enjoying this thread by the way
  12. My very favourite Abba track, for the reasons you say. Did his Hagstrom have Di Marzio pickups to help the sound?
  13. So to ask a daft question, that's a very flat sound for a Stingray. How did he get that?
  14. I think I was that previous owner, and this amp is a beast. I owned it and took care of it for c 25 years (I have since become acquainted with an Osteopath mind). Bigthumb was a great buyer too. Given the amount of love on Basschat for TE, this should find a home PDQ. GLWTS
  15. What a great thread (and I'm a cat lover)! How about Dalmitrie? (my sister used to bread Dalmies) Loving the Greyhounds by the way (my cats wouldn't)
  16. I think you could do with an Alembic Mark King
  17. It's a bit like Bass Chat's version of the National Gallery, that we really want all of Pete's babies to come to/stay in the UK. Perhaps hopeful UK owners of Wals could now apply to the National Lottery for grants. Now that would turbo-charge second hand prices! GLWTS
  18. Vive la difference! (Joke! I'm really sorry the sale fell through, but it's a really good example of the mess we have got ourselves into)
  19. Difficult to say, particularly for a left handed bass. As a starting point there is a left handed MTD Kingston for sale, new at Bass Direct for £999.....(and it's been there a while) so that's the very top end! It's one of those 'beauty (and price) is in the eye of the beholder' things. GLWTS
  20. I cannot get over the 'wild dog' tone setting on these
  21. Am I allowed to quote a rival site: https://www.talkbass.com/threads/mtd-kingston-5-or-tobias-toby-pro-5.38925/ Gibson do not seem to cover themselves with glory, but I am sure beauty is in the eye of the beholder. It's a proper neck through body.
  22. It's got that Paul Simonon vibe about it....from a similar production era as these show:
  23. Did Trace Elliott put 12 sliders on their graphics so they could claim one more than Dynacord then?
