Hawkwind were about 50 years ahead of the neuroscientists

There's a moment in Fans by Kings of Leon when I'm sure that this guy, singer Caleb Followill....... Mentions this guy, the gloriously talented French Rugby star Imanol Harinordoquy No idea why he would really...... 🤔

So, what bass do you reckon the now sadly departed Juan Nelson is playing on this track folks, thew tone escapes me on every instrument on which I've tried.....?

Set a price x2.0 what it’s actually worth and someone will eventually offer x1.5 🤔

Too many units available and too many options! I need to put the recorder in a suitable spot in the rehearsal room or venue and press record. Would prefer to use internal mics and be able to upload directly to computer i.e., not via a memory card 👍

Running shoes: check Mile distance measured: check

Canterbury is about to get a whole lot better….

Some bits of wood are heavy, some aren’t. Variation within a species is often as great as between species 🪵

Great thread 🙏

@stereoplayercould you talk me through the bass in the top pic?

Now these do not come up for sale very often, think the last time I saw one was about 10 years back https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/154363629818?hash=item23f0ca10fa:g:HEQAAOSw3uZhfWBH&amdata=enc%3AAQAHAAAA4DWeNJdwpPlp4FAtN%2FTogkmhahq6pgqmXhwQXfysU5tvmWrlQ30yzm2tZb4F5uhyJ1KUJzS1sc4GU9Xtfl7ADMIolmPhxFiq2b3tiBw0e2S6ipWLg2qNqKupDY%2BkeCAIRjdVa%2Bl%2F7SQJ%2BpiF9v%2FdgXLz2Db9H2%2FSsET9zmtWGqztaG3sA1HUigdDF0DxN37WZ2R0WYGLzYJ69Hg0R3OWKDnrBCncf7X4Imc%2Br11ynzocQktSwxpvz%2FfsHVEATJoW9AyU%2Bh7F1xujvmq670KK%2FsYSk5Q9%2BiuXuI0jS%2FO%2FugXX|tkp%3ABk9SR7CfnKSHYQ Not cheap and not close, but hey, what's money and distance when a bass of this calibre is on offer? I've said many things about this bass over the years, but suspect the below sums it up best.....

So Stanley owns a Marcus sig, interesting 🤔

So, played this in anger through a rather large Mesa rig at the weekend and it did not disappoint. It has that wonderful clarity and character that comes with the classic Precision SC but being able to blend the two PUPs brings a whole new World of tone to the party. It's also incredibly resonant, light and playable. Only quibble is that the roll-off on the tone is extreme to say the least, moving from twang to dub within a few degrees, so I'm going to take a look at the circuit in the near future. Gut feel is that we're going to see a few more Twin SC Precisions, it works very nicely. Full review with pics and clips to follow 👍

Will get that, thanks for the heads up. First month of my Electronic Music Technology course at ELP and we were marched round to Sarm East where we had the pleasure of seeing Trevor Horn recording ABC’s Lexicon of Love. At the time I was into Kraftwerk, King Crimson, Hawkwind, and Fischer-Z so wasn’t as impressed as I would be now 🤔

Great playing also 👍
