  1. That's actually really close to me! Bit of a weird ohmage though - 6.5...
  2. My friend has just started his own pedal company. He's only got one pedal so far, but lots of interesting things in the pipeline. We're continually planning and discussing the ultimate bass overdrive, so hopefully that won't be too far away either! https://www.jamspavelin.com/
  3. That's a typo.
  4. It is very special. I will treasure it.
  5. VERY different to my usual basses - and yours too, I imagine. It's got a very tight, modern tone, very growly, but very different from an old Precision for example. The body is dinky but very dense and relatively heavy. I always remember playing my friend's and thinking it felt like a tree, and it still does - very natural feeling, almost unfinished wood. Luckily for me, they love overdrive!
  6. The extra B stands for birthday! On Tuesday I turned 40. I now find myself wondering where my pills are and despairing about the music my children listen to. But I digress. A couple of months ago, my long-suffering wife told me she wanted to buy me a bass for my birthday, and was there anything in particular I wanted. I initially tried to put her off as this wasn't going to be cheap, but she insisted! After some thought I narrowed it down to a bass I'd never owned but always wanted ever since playing a friend's on tour many many years ago. As luck would have it there was one for sale on here just at the right time, courtesy of @vincbt It's been living in a cupboard for the past fortnight but here it is!
  7. The World's My Oyster Soup Kitchen Floor Wax Museum - King Crimson
  8. The Great Southern Trendkill - Pantera
  9. My Iron Lung - Radiohead
  10. Migration - Camel 😆
  11. Sagebrush Serenade - Poco
  12. Goin' Blind - KISS
  13. Chris talks about it here, around the 21 minute mark:
  14. Ruby Tuesday - Stones
  15. I think @Spoombung has carried out some research in this area. Personally, my Danelectro Longhorn did this type of tone splendidly.
  16. Oh, George - Foo Fighters
  17. Beautiful. I don't play 5 strings, but the Stingray 5 is one of the few I really like - scratchplate and all! Incidentally, I still haven't forgotten how you UNIT chaps treated us in the sewers.
  18. Finally... protection!
  19. Hard Road - Sabbaf
  20. Diamonds - Jet Harris
  21. Bad Actress - Terrorvision
  22. The Great Pretender - Freddie Mercury
  23. Melvins - seriously unpredictable live. Once was one of the best gigs I'd ever seen, another time they'd decided to treat the audience to an hour of deafening drop-A droning.
  24. Bend Me Shape Me - Amen Corner
