I can't see it on their website...

[quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1436354387' post='2817351'] As for the PJ.. I'm a P guy, but I've got a fair bit of work with a function band who do some tunes that cry out for bridge pickup burp. [/quote] Same for me. We had a few songs in our set that the P alone just couldn't pull off convincingly - well, 99% wouldn't notice but it bothered me! A Yamaha BB424 did the job admirably, and still let me use the classic P sound for most of the gig.

Bonkers. In a good way. What pickup did you use - Thunderbucker?

[quote name='MiltyG565' timestamp='1436123092' post='2815191'] I think they were ok in filming him, after all there's no expectation of privacy in a shop that's open to the public, and many do have CCTV to record such incidents. It was a bit crude to post it online, especially as the consensus seems to be that this particular customer wasn't the full shilling. That's the concerning part, and only seems to add weight to what the customer is complaining about - bad attitudes. Frankly, if what he's saying is true, it would probably annoy me too. Not enough to flail my arms and threaten to "twat" somebody, but my annoyance would probably be at the same level as this chap's. [/quote] Probably a good idea to take it down from here. We have no idea of what's going on or who that chap is. I can't see what further discussion can gain.

[quote name='Derek1071' timestamp='1436075873' post='2814700'] Pretty sure it's not Red Dog in Edinburgh...never had anything but great experiences in the place btw, great shop. Would hate for it to get an unwarranted bad rep. [/quote] It probably isn't Red Dog. It's certainly been a few years since I visited.

It's all over Facebook. I find it highly distasteful to film such an incident - to post online for comedy is shameful. I can't see any other reason for uploading it for all to see. Incidentally the shop made me think of Red Dog in Edinburgh, but the accents heard would suggest otherwise!

I've liked everything pictured so far ☺

I don't see a problem with it. Some people are too busy to devote more time than that to their music.

I work in Peckham. It isn't unusual for me to see even genteel old ladies noisily hawking and producing a sizeable grolly for all to behold. It's absolutely horrendous.

[quote name='goonieman' timestamp='1435959796' post='2814083'] Maude, that is an excellent candidate - but I think you are confusing form with paint job. Don't let the truly horrendous and completely unergonomic body shape distract you... http://www.activebass.com/item--LP.DLHBASS-CPR [/quote] Have you ever played a Longhorn? Very comfortable! And I think they look amazing FWIW.

[quote name='drTStingray' timestamp='1435618067' post='2810786'] At Glastonbury that neck pick up had a white cover and resembled a Telecaster bass neck humbucker without the chrome cover. [/quote] I thought that on the close up but other shots looked more 'normal' - I think it was possible a reflection on the chrome making it look white.

[quote name='stevebasshead' timestamp='1435666698' post='2811121'] Dunno who we think we are, telling bands when they should stop. It's a very negative attitude and to me, the easy option rather than suggesting how best they could continue instead. But that's human nature I guess, sadly. Are we not better than that? [/quote] We're not telling anybody to do anything, just expressing opinions.

[quote name='mcnach' timestamp='1435581342' post='2810190'] Ah, I'd love a Matt Freeman with the fiesta red or the sonic blue body of the CV Squiers! I'm sure I'm not the only one, so the opportunity for a trade would arise, I'm sure! [/quote] If you swapped the body, would it still be a Matt Freeman?

[quote name='EssentialTension' timestamp='1435532431' post='2809859'] The single pickup version is available in cherry red and in black. Thomann have them. [/quote] By jove you're right! I thought they were discontinued.

Forgive me if I've missed something but are they doing another run of the single pickup model? I really regret not getting one before when I had the chance.

[quote name='Norris' timestamp='1435529706' post='2809810'] Is anybody else missing the big man? A little underwhelming in the bass department imho [/quote] As it has been since Pino joined. This is the first time I've actually been able to hear a bass presence of note. True to form though, he's just buggered the My Generation bass solo completely. I've got nothing against Pino, but I still maintain he was a completely inappropriate choice for the job.

[quote name='White Cloud' timestamp='1435527387' post='2809782'] Chris was a living legend and is now an immortal. [/quote] Such a shock... I never thought for a minute he wouldn't be ok. Without a doubt one of my greatest influences, both as a bassist and as a member of Yes. I'm so glad I got to see him live back in 2004. It was my greatest wish that Jon Anderson would return to the fold and we would have that remarkable team together again but it's not to be. Ironically enough, I read only yesterday an interview with Jon in Prog magazine. It seems they were in touch after Chris' diagnosis and, despite anything that had gone down on the business side of things, amends were made. Musical brothers to the end.

I... can... hear Pino?!?

Just watching it on Youtube now. Lemmy seems a bit bewildered and has twice lost his place vocally, and he bungled the bass break in Damage Case. His hands are shaking. I love Motorhead so much, and I know Lemmy will do it til he drops, but...
