You're obviously not sentimental about the design you made with your father. If it were me I would want to preserve the shape (and potentially not damage that fab tone) and so would go for the option on the far left as the minimal change. To solve the leaning issue? Sit down with Dad again, assuming he's still around, and design a custom folding stand.

You look at the that set of album covers and know it's a sterotypical 1970's white, all male, rock band. Then listening to the first track the slidehow is more of the same, until one of the pictures is of the band - and you were right! 😁 Good songs though. 👍

You should be! It looks like it could be old, then you realise the shape is definitely something modern. And the EMGs will be excellent, because they just are. That is officially a Very Cool Guitar.

Welcome aboard!!

Still lots available, and as I finish a pot every 12 day or so there probably always will be. 😁

Welcome aboard! Lots to talk about, lots of different genres, and lots of friendly people. Hope you make yourself at home quickly.

Came up on my Spotify discover playlist. Never heard of the band before, good old AOR!

Welcome aboard! As everyone says if you can find real people to play with you improve much faster than practicing on your own. That said - if you stick with SBL for the technique and theory you'll learn loads. (Like I haven't ! )

Welcome aboard! I think you'll fit right in! 😁

Watching this at the moment. Great stories!

😁 Like that! Duly passed on to Dave, and to a mate who lives in Rhyadar.

Thanks Mark, Now I shall have to try to find one to play and experiment with. 🙃

Thanks for posting such a comprehensive review. I've never heard of an eight-string bass, or heard one. When would you use one, and are you able to post any sound clips?

From the website "With this beautiful bass guitar, you can cheer yourself on delivering a wide range of tones with perfect vibrations that flows out from its Toon wood body"

Anhydrous alcohol wipes. Not the 70%, the 99.9%. Nothing else comes close. I used to buy boxes of 50 individual wipes, but I don't seem to be able to find a link to share.

Welcome aboard

On the other hand - he probably doesn't come from Warwick, and your deductions about the bass are correct 😁

He could play Foderas, but hail from Warwick...

Following with interest 👍

Welcome aboard

Welcome aboard

Pit band for a major show. Respect

Welcome aboard .

I agree, it's a justified classic. But not one I'll reach for very often.
