I know that song and didn't recognise it. The shame!

I've never actually hated any of my basses (none that I can remember anyway), but I've owned a couple that lasted about 5 minutes each - the first was a Zon Sonus, a superb bass but I instantly knew I wouldn't get on with the neck. I also bought it for the Billy Gould connection and it sounded nothing like him, unsurprisingly. Another was a Rickenbacker 4004. Massive, clubby neck, and dull tone with none of the Rick treble I was after. Exchanged it immediately for a 4003 - much more up my street! I still lust after the 4004 as apparently the neck is far better these days, and I could swap out the pickups for something a bit more 4001-flavoured.

Is it just a trick of the light?

Did anybody recognise the mystery line?

I loved Slow Ride.

I met Dave a couple of years ago and he was full of praise for this setup!

Very nice! I'd love to have a go on one of these one day. The pickups look very Wal-ish - similiar tones?

Got any more details - Jazz? Precision? Any pics? I know the pain only too well. A delightful character pinched my '78 Precision a few years ago. I was lucky enough to get it back, but I'll never forget that awful feeling.

I love these basses. I nearly bought one but ultimately they're just a bit too slim and sleek for my tastes. Stunning tone though, especially that front pickup with a bit of grit. I alos thought of chocolate limes when I first saw one.

I'm in the camp of tried and failed with six and desperately want another.

As much as I love the Epiphone Thunderbird Vintage Pro I bought earlier in the year, my best purchase has to be the Tech 21 DP-3X Dug Pinnick pedal. It's astoundingly good. Worst would be the Joyo Orange Juice overdrive pedal. Sounded great but stopped working within a day.

The riff at 2:35 bears a wonderful resemblance to "Stop The Cavalry". I wonder if it was intentional.

Have yourself a merry little Christmas...

Exactly what happened to mine 😂

I don't really get it. They're just playing the same thing!

It's coming!

Beautiful colour, but I wish it didn't have that Jazz pickup.

Just sold my Rolls Crossover pedal to Kev - instant payment, great comms, a pleasure! Hope you enjoy the pedal Kev!

I've always assumed this is the bass played on Looking On. An immense tone for an immense album.
