I swooned over these and the EDA in my teenage years. Lovely looking bass. 

Same here! Hanging around Denmark St when I probably should have been at school 😄

Sewn-Mouth Secrets  - Soilent Green

Dirty Boy - Cardiacs 

Damn Dog - Manic Street Preachers 

£599 on Thomann... 😵‍💫

I really do want one though. It looks like it does everything I want.

Strange Fruit - Billie Holliday

No Opportunity Necessary, No Experience Needed - Yes

Crete Petite - Jackie Wilson 

Baby Driver - KISS 

They'll both do the job perfectly well, it comes down to whichever one feels the best to you.

Personally I'd go for the Yamaha, wonderful basses!

The House Is Rockin’ - Cheap Trick 

They're both black basses, definitely.

Chocolate Milkshake - Psycore

Take a Pebble - ELP

X-Ray Eyes - KISS

No. The best ones are made in the US. (Nyc) 7k$ plus

So, foreign 😄

Quite outside of the band, the thing that struck me about the audition footage was how under-rehearsed some of the bassists seemed. 

Trujillo being the notable exception. 

 

The power of editing. We only saw the other bass players play one bar of Bells, by no means a difficult song - perhaps it took them a few minutes to loosen up a bit? I'd certainly have been nervous!

I'm sure even Geordie White managed to play in in tune at some point but that's not the clip they used.

I'm not doubting Trujillo's abilities for a moment but even his audition clip is a montage.

I always thought the woman who played with them at the fan club day was great!

These are absolute trash. Chinese built to the cheapest and lowest possible standards, not a viable instrument at all not because of the string count but because of the awfulness of the build! Take the string off and the frets out and you've got a half decent ironing board. And this is coming from a massive advocate of ERBs! 

 

Now... if we could please take a moment to cleanse our eyes by looking at some good ERBs! 

 

 

Why are you hiding such remarkable instruments behind the straps?!

I Can’t Tell the Bottom From the Top - The Hollies 

For sale, my Ibanez EDC705, circa 2000. Near immaculate condition, no wear, scratches or knocks to the body or neck apart from a very small (2mm) paintwork chip on the back edge of the headstock and a larger (1cm) area on the inside of the body horn where the finish was starting to chip - this has been professionally repaired and is hardly noticeable.

The controls all work smoothly with no crackle or interference.

The bass has been set up with DR strings and has a very low action.

I'm selling to help cover a recent purchase so I can't consider straight trades but could potentially consider pedals etc. as part-ex.

Collection or local meeting only.

The beard twitchers would say in name only . No dimbag, and no vinnie . A lot of bad blood towards mr.. anselmo for sometime from the Abbott families apparently . But that's possibly for another thread 🤔

Beard twitcher here! But I'm able to do so as someone who was lucky enough to see Pantera a couple of times back in the day. There must be plenty of younger fans eager to hear that music live but for me, nah.

And also, Anselmo.
