Holy Hell! It's like someone built a bass especially for the elephant man.

I have to show my wife this thread. She's on one coz I want to buy my third. Nice work chaps. Keep going. 😉

They'll clear your estuaries. No....... Hang on......... That's not right.

I've been looking at, and quite tempted by the Revelation myself as I'm specifically looking for a E to E guitar tuned 6. What do you reckon to it?

Looks superb.

Now you just need a long black wig to bring back "the look". 😋

Looks great. I really fancy a Jaguar, but it will have to be a Squier because I'm cheap.

£65 for a week and a halfs work! What's he like at gardening?

I'm not going to offer medical advice. I'm sure you already have all that. But here's how I (at least try to) approach life. If you ain't enjoying it, you're doing it wrong. If gigging stresses you out, don't do it. If you find it enjoyable then it's the best medicine in the world. ( Feel free to replace "gigging" with any other activity) Life is very short and you only get one shot. Might as well enjoy the ride.

I love Gibson guitars. Les Paul's especially. But I just don't think they look right as basses. Especially the SG types. They're just plain ugly. The Thunderbird, love it or hate it, is at least "different" and to me looks really cool.

I'm a Yorkshireman. £65 is expensive for a bass! 😂

Looks ace. I'm a big fan of shorties but I've never played anything that short. Great sound.

Sounds like every freeform jazz band I've ever seen.

Ah that's me buggered then. It's a 6 paddle. I'm useless with anything more than a 4 paddle. 😂

How do you even measure point anything of a millimeter?

My old guitarist mate, back in the very early 90's when we were just wee lads had a red Charvelle. I was so jealous with my boring black on black cheap J bass replica. I'm still scarred by the injustice. Give me a pointy headstock any day over a boring standard "Fender" shaped one. I still loathe the J/P bass Jodril Bank sized tuners to this day.

This has to be one of the strangest looking basses I've ever seen. More switches than Knight Rider. I wonder if it has turbo boost. https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F202378362822

Well I suppose there's no accounting for taste (mine), but that yellow P Bass is the ugliest thing I've seen since the pink one earlier in the thread.

Yeah, unfortunately as I now live in rural Bulgaria, as far as band mates are concerned the pickings are a bit slim. I'm actually lucky that I found a good bunch of mates who all happen play instruments. To be honest just hanging out with a great bunch of guys and enjoying playing is more important to me now than the type of music. I long ago gave up any delusions of being a rock God. 😂 Subbed. 👍

Weirdly I've never found drummers to be a problem. I personally know 4, and by that I mean real life friends who I know from outside of the music scene who just happen to be drummers. The one in our band who lives just down the road from me and I've known for years but we've only just got around to forming a band, two friends back in the UK who are both good drummers and (as far as I'm aware) aren't even currently gigging, and my sisters ex who is in a professional, gigging, recording and signed band. Now, a good lead guitarist without a massive ego on the other hand. Now that's a rare beast indeed. I'd even settle for a half decent keyboard player.

One more thing. The link you posted doesn't seem to work for me. Also a direct link to your YouTube channel would be handy and I'll subscribe. The video doesn't link to the channel, it just plays within the forum.
