Not like Kiss to over-exaggerate... That said, I'll be there at the O2. They're still one of the most entertaining bands I've ever seen, and their set last time certainly didn't feel short. Paul Stanley's totally unscripted between song banter takes up at least 30 minutes I reckon.

Excellent! I'm seeing them on Saturday.

Evil things! For my style of playing anyway!

It's on Now TV so I'll probably watch it tonight. Looking forward to the new album, the new songs sound... interesting.

Nice Blue, very nice. Although surely you are a professional rather than amateur musician?

I believe the Roger Waters P has a maple-capped neck, which some believe gives a brighter, snappier tone.

Gorgeous basses. I too couldn't stand the scratchplate - they look the part but it felt like fingernails on a blackboard whenever I touched it 😨 Here comes the GAS again...!

Still very Rick bit with a massive low end. I prefer his Machine Head sound, a bit more clank and definition. But they're both cool!

The second one? Well it's a little uninspired possibly but it's hard to go wrong with simple symmetry. It certainly suits the body designs it goes with.

[quote name='Rich' timestamp='1488496601' post='3249558'] Utterly, utterly dreadful. I don't care how great the rest of the bass might be... this is a carbuncle. [/quote] That is AWESOME!

[quote name='Phil Adams' timestamp='1488440402' post='3248895'] Being old enough to remember the Kenny Everett compilation (12" on lime green vinyl) most of these has left me umimpressed. [/quote] I've got that! We used to listen to a tape recording of the actual radio broadcast when we were kids.
