    I'd be interested in how you think it compares with your Wal in due course

    May I be curious and ask whether you acquired the Canadian ACG? It looks lovely 😍

    Can I just ask something as simple as what the string intervals were on his 8 strings and on Brit Bass'. Is there a reason you can get away with smaller tuning pegs (apart from neck dive) PS I really really don't have £30k, as much as I like Alembics (cheaper ones at least:) )
  4. Piers_Williamson
    Thanks for making that clear. I guess all power to basschat and proper price discovery (speaking as more a giver than a taker!)

    It's now dawned on me that Greg Lake owned more than one eight string Alembic. There's one with signs of the Zodiac and a second later one (which I think John Entwhistle ended up with) with pirate symbols. They both look like they had 8 full sized tuners. They must have weighed a ton.

    Curiously no one has mentioned Fender's alleged price fixing story in all of this

    Good looking bass and looks prretty good value too

    I can't help noticing there is a small part of Scotland with a large proportion of lefty bass players. No wonder Guitar Guitar in Glasgow got all those high end lefties in

    Having dipped into the discounted supply, I deliberately kept out of the dialogue on this until I had got used to the first set of strings fitted on my sunburst jazz. I have to say after a 'what is this' sort of start, I have really got into these strings. I am playing the advanced series 40-100 gauge and loving the tone. I play finger style through a vintage setup and it is the elephant's pajamas. Thanks for the intro!

    Dusty was also Ealing's other claim to fame (apart from the R&B Club). Her first job was working in Squires Music Shop next to the Town Hall

    I see what you mean about him being a Rush fan

    I'm still grinding through how to play the chorus of Peg in time, until I get to the sunny uplands of Josie

    You'll need one of those cameras they used to take school photos with soon....then you can take the bass on the left and put it on the right and see if anyone notices

    Dusty in Memphis is one of my favourite albums of all time
  17. Piers_Williamson
    This guy seems to be the biggest Steely Dan Bass fan in the world, and I've found watching his vids helpful
  18. Piers_Williamson
    And are we allowed to see the rest? Pleeeeese!
  19. Piers_Williamson
    My goodness, that is a thing of beauty ELP tribute band?

    Surely the Guitarist's mum doing relaxation exercises with the whole of Madison Sq Gardens at c 22 minutes is inspired/unique. Did Bruce Springsteen ever think of this? Just watch the audience. It is proper entertainment (and I confess to liking Joe Dart's playing too)
  22. Piers_Williamson
    Can you still part with your Wal? Perhaps I can PM you (if I can remember how :))
  23. Piers_Williamson
    That was a Fylde #998 And this is a (non electric) Earthwood

    Your wish is my command. There are many fascinating and obscure parts of his collection. I think that's partly what makes it so interesting (and then there are the Alembics of course :))
