    Hi Nils, My name is Andy, I was just signing off on my post.

     

    Got to love Gary Willis' playing and sound, some of his stuff starts off so loose but becomes super tight.  He often features some of my favourite drummers too.  Dennis Chambers, Gergo Borlai and Kirk Covington.

    I think that manner of Gary Willis playing is unique and he can absolutely be counted as a new door opener in the bass world. His masterband is also perfect too.

    Hi Nilorius did you manage to confirm any details about this lovely bass?

     

    This sounds pretty close to me.  You could always contact the maker and try to jog their memory.  Even without a serial number they will probably remember the bass.

     

    Are you a Gary Willis fan?  Two of his albums, Bent and No Sweat, are among my all time favourites.

     

    Good luck with the mission, Andy.

    Yes i am a Willis fan and the sound, too. That's why i have GWB1005 and th500.

    Yep, if the solo is over the same pattern as a verse or chorus just do the same as what’s already played. If the solo is over a purpose written pattern then play what makes the solo instrument sound best.

    You can also change some higher notes to lower.

    There are always different people and different answers and that is good, but after driving and then gigging i don't see a very bad reason for one shot before, of something tasty, to calm down or get up. Limits are always important, though.

    I suspect @nilorius is trying to get his rank up, but it is definitely coming across as a bit troll-ish as this is not the first thread that he's written to spark responses with multiple self-responses within an hour of posting. 

     

    I would suggest you let people respond of their own free will and not relentlessly bump your posts - we are capable of reading and responding to posts if we chose to do so. :)

     

    I would also hazard a guess that you know full well the specs of this bass! But on the off-chance you are genuine, then I'd say the top and back woods are stabilised buckeye burl, the bridge is a Hipshot Type-B, the tuners are Hipshot Ultralite, the pre-amp is 18v (possible Bartolini, if you open the back cavity it'll be more obvious) and the pick ups are Bartolini. It appears to have a radiused ebony fretboard and perhaps an Ash body with maple mahogany neck. That's my 2 cents. 

    Sorry, will try to not speed up the tempo in future.
