BB Fans, just watched the "Peter Hook Signature Collection" mini documentary with Hooky. Made me think of you, especially this screenshot 😉

Interesting "behind the scenes" short documentary on YT: With The Peter Hook Signature Collection – New Order exhibition taking place this week at Omega Auctions before the auction this Friday 8th October, here with a behind the scenes mini documentary with Hooky interviewed by Paul Fairweather showcasing the event.

Now I am curious. Of course I will check the marketplace even though I shouldn't. 😎 Speaking of the BC marketplace, there is still a great Euro 4 with solid flame maple wings on offer there. Cannot understand why no one has bought it yet. For a NS-2, solid quilted maple wings (don't know about flame ones) cost $1,499.00 extra (and that was a few years ago, probably even more now). Anyway, I was really tempted by that Euro but just could not justify buying it (but it was close). I have a NS-2 on order and I am still on the hunt for a Stingray Classic (natural finish and maple fingerboard). Moreover, I have too many basses for a living room player anyway. Ok, hmm, well, let's see if I can resist your temptations, @Bunion 😉

Great suggestions but all very expected and therefore all very unpunk. Punk is against the establishment so if you want to be really punk, you don't play a P or any of the usual suspects. Play a cheap Hofner Beatles bass copy, or a Danelectro Longhorn or a Burns Bison bass or maybe the new Nordstrand Acinonyx. Or whatever someone does NOT affiliate with punk.

Great video 👍 For me, the sunburst sounded the best but the Nate looked the best 🙂

No idea. Maybe some streaming services have it too, but I am currently not subscribing to any of them. Spent too much money on basses 😉 It also got released on DVD.

You could get yourself the Timmy C sig model with the height adjustable finger ramp.

Ok, this is not really Nirvana related (although it features one of the band members) but for the 100th reply, I thought, why not. After all, it's my thread and I can do whatever I want. Isn't that what punk was all about? Anyway, here you go, enjoy and feel free to re-enact it at your first/next wedding 🙂

True but first I will ask my good friend Jim Adler to sue @NancyJohnson for stealing my post from yesterday 😉

"a one string wonder" - I like it 👍

And if I cannot convince you, maybe Nicki can 😉

Well, I really enjoy playing Sea of Sorrow and playing it loud, very loud. I think it is great but, as a diehard AIC fan, I am probably a bit biased 🙂

Poor Vince. He really needs to get in shape. Maybe he should talk to these guys 😉

Just saw this on the news. Must be a big Nirvana fan: "Enthusiast marks album’s 30th anniversary with 150km ride around Adelaide using Strava to sketch naked baby Pete Stokes rode about 150km on a single-speed bike to sketch the outline of the famous Nevermind cover. His efforts, tracked by GPS-based site Strava, show the baby’s (slightly angry) face over the CBD and the banknote over the leafy eastern suburbs of Burnside and Kensington."

I recently watched the excellent (but sad) documentary "Cure for Pain: The Mark Sandman Story". Mark was known for his two-string slide bass but he actually started with a one-string bass. This made me think, what are cool songs that only use one string? Ok, I'll make a start with this one:

I went for the long-scale and passive model (natural finish and black hardware). It seems to be the most popular of the four as it sold out after just a few days. The black one (log-scale and active) sold out some time later and the two short scale models are still available. https://shop.music-man.com/instruments.html?instrument_type=5465

Yes, cool bass that is a bit of a "best of" Stingray. Classic looks (natural finish and old school bridge, mutes and logo), some features from the current Special (neodymium pickup, 18V preamp (for the active models), the sculpted neck joint and the roasted maple neck) and some new features such as the adjustable finger ramp, the natural finish-black hardware combo and the passive option for a full-scale Stingray). At first, I was a bit concerned about having a passive Stingray but then I plugged it into my Sansamp BDDI and my GK 200w amp and the worries stopped immediately. It sounds massive (especially if you go series mode and engage the boost function). Just ask my neighbours 😉

I think you are right. Mentally, I am still stuck between 87 and 94. Best times ever.

Looks like you are right and they are indeed planning to go on tour again. I thought they had retired. Their last tour was the so-called "The Final Tour" (2014-2015). Maybe they should call the new tour "The Final Tour II". Reminds me a bit of a computer game I played back in the late 80s: "The Last Ninja II" 😉

Same here. In case you haven't watched it yet, you may want to check out this documentary:
