they were in a good place at the end of the 70s but like many bands during that period felt the need to reinvent themselves to try and stay relevant and in many ways from an economic point of view they were correct to do so. Rush were a bit obsessed with the police and the similarities were there ...the shift was obvious. This did indeed keep them more acceptable to new audiences but somehow, hard to put a finger on it but for me their sound got diluted and homogenised with too many other influences ...that bit of rush that i initially latched onto ...that hard rock edge got mellowed out and caused me to lose interest ...it was the changing of the guard from one set of fans to another ...genesis was another band who trod a similar path ...the parallels are hard to ignore. Some fans stuck the course and no doubt will defend rush to the end ...i honestly wouldn't mind seeing them again in this new format but this time around it will be more to do with a change within myself than them.

i have dealings with the main three ... if pressed i would say the gallery is the best by just simply doing what they are supposed to do ...followed by direct and then bbros but i wont get into that one. Bass direct need some serious email etiquette tips ...like i know you guys are busy but reply to an email ffs, how hard can it be?

first caught them at hammy odeon, farewell to kings tour ..then hemispheres followed by permanent waves ...then over to wembley arena for moving pictures ...started getting into more 80s style bands after that ...rush were really a 70s band in my mind, 80s never really suited their style.

i don't really understand the question?

all electros have the piezo under the bridge just like rob allen and the same scale as the 34" rob allen mb2 ...asthetics aside this technically is the same as an mb2 plus an additional conventional pickup ... i was a bit hesitant to mention status as they seem to be semi retired these days...second hand is rare but they do come up from time to time. Personally i think this latest version of the electro is not as good looking as the rob allen. Also i think rob allen just sounds better but that's just an educated guess as i have never played an electro, just heard it on you tube.

status electro...

that's what happens when you miss the mixing session.

this may have already been mentioned but for low b definition i would suggest auditioning a status graphite with the graphite neck ...the pickup quality is a given.

enfield ...rare as hens teeth..

so why not keep the name??

the bass was easily the best thing about it ...that's my diplomatic answer ..oh and .the singing is dreadful.

don't forget uk import tax ..20% ouch.

this was done by tiny tone ...definitely send in the original to copy and for vinterra vi guards you need to ask for the screw holes to be added above and below the control plate because fender in their wisidom copied custom shop which has also got it wrong and missed them off from the original... squire has actually got it correct in this regard. I still need to add the screws themselves.

jack bruce taught me that you do not have to play a fretless as a fretless.

it's a fair likeness i agree but like i said the real rod is working the drinks section of my local tescos ...

i can't see how since he's working in my local tesco's.

as you age the one thing that is sure to decrease is collagen ..the stuff that lines the surface of your ball joints.

i had some recent dealings with them regarding a stock bass ... pretty much no enthusiasm whatsoever to follow through, just unanswered emails. I might try and get some strings before it really is too late.

yadda yadda..lol
