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. Here are some gems: http://youtu.be/9EEZAivzl1Q http://youtu.be/ql3pwELzqZM http://youtu.be/Zo8DhbQw_O4

It's already been blocked!

It's a Warwick isn't it?

[quote name='dannybuoy' timestamp='1487355061' post='3239294'] Epiphone are about to replace the Classic Pro with the Vintage Pro, with vintage style chrome pickups... Hopefully they will be close to the Thunderbuckers! [/quote] We live in hope...

I would love a Lull 'bird - particularly the one with the oversized body - but they are beyond my budget sadly. My main bass is a Cataldo Fenderbird which uses Thunderbucker Ranch pickups, reverse engineered from the original Gibson pickups like the Lulls. They too sound wonderful, I assume they are similar. The sound puts a big daft grin on my face.
