Mother Stands For Comfort - Kate Bush

Gorgeous. I still want one.

I think he needs a new nickname.

[quote name='karlfer' timestamp='1415199296' post='2597768'] Think it's Who's Next, Craig Addecott's band, but don't quote me. [/quote] Sorry to quote you but it seems it's a 'house band' with none other than Mr Palladino on the bass. Well it is according to Ticketmaster!

£73 - £85 a ticket?!

Beautiful! Grog from Die So Fluid used to play one of these with Feline back in the day.

[quote name='Truckstop' timestamp='1414493999' post='2589738'] John Patitucci and John Petrucci are two different people [/quote] Indeed they are! Senior moment.

[quote name='Marvin' timestamp='1414484148' post='2589606'] On the Yamaha website they only seem to be producing one signature TRB, the John Patitucci 6 string. And if you browse the online stores many of the other models say discounted. Seems an awful shame if they have. EDIT. They might still be doing a 1005j [/quote] Do you mean John Myung?

That is one beautiful bass...

Another vote for the Korg Pitchblack! Mine is a rather fetching metallic green.

Very sad, but not a massive shock. He looked extremely frail in his last BGM appearance. Still, a huge loss. I was never a Cream fan but his early solo albums are among my favourites. I think I'll dig out my EB3 tonight.

[quote name='mcnach' timestamp='1414180334' post='2586905'] Well, I couldn't wait anymore, and I just installed a mint green pickguard to replace the gold one... I love the look, but most importantly, I no longer make weird faces when my nail drags on the pickguard Now all the weird faces I may make are just pure and adulterated standard bassfaces That colour is so hard to photograph right!!! [/quote] There we go!

We should start a fan club for these necks! Congrats on the new bass, I knew you would love it :-)

[quote name='mcnach' timestamp='1414084398' post='2585695'] Well, I finally got my hands on the bass, if briefly... First impression is just Well, no, the first one was a bit like ... The colour. Is this Fiesta Red, really? I find it a bit dark... I like it, but just not what I expected. It really does look like the picture on the very first post on this thread. Anyway, but it's fine, and... it's just awesome. It's got a little "ugly" spot on the back of the neck, the sort of thing that if I were at the sho I'd ask for another one. However, it's not a big deal and because I like it so much, I really don't want to change it now. It was nearly in tune when I took it out of the box, and the setup on this bass is very nice. Can't fault it, it seems that I'm not touching anything, leaving it as it is. Even the strings are fine, so no replacing those either yet. Oh, I did change one thing. I slightly tweaked the string spacing, making it overall a tiny bit wider than it was. But that's just my preference. My biggest question was the neck. As I went for it ordering online rather than buying at the shop, and didn't even get to try this model anywhere, I was a bit concerned about the width of this neck. What do I think of the neck? It's REALLY comfy! It is wide, no doubt, which I like, but the profile is shallow, not clubby at all. It's the widest neck I have, but it's very nice. Coming from a Stingray, this feels at home. It's noticeably less clubbier than my Squier CV50. Very very nice neck. Soundwise was great, but it was just through a small practice amp. Good punchy sound, pretty even between strings, lovely slap tone... I love those mids. I don't foress I'll want to change pickups either. One thing I don't like: the pickguard. At first I thought it didn't look very good... but it's the touch that I hate. I need to trim my fingernails too, and when I scratch the pickguard with my nail makes my teeth feel funny. Blergh. It's going. I already have a mint-white pickguard that fits well, but it's too green , not very nice. I might get another one somewhere. I'd prefer a mint one, but it's so hard to get the right shade online, something that doesn't look GREEN. Tomorrow I'm off work... can't wait! [/quote] Hurrah! I couldn't cope with that scratchplate either, a proper mint on will look fantastic! I've got proper GAS for another one of these now, so thanks for that

That Boris tab is wrong too.

We need Pics! Wonderful basses. If it is brand new, it should have the internal trimpot.

Stunning.

[quote name='TheSiberian' timestamp='1413922965' post='2583733'] Maybe telling people what they want to hear is the custom over here, but I dont find it too honest, so please don't blame me, I just share my opinion...what is yours ( bass wise) ? Best [/quote] Some threads deliberately call for opinions. A NBD thread, or someone inviting us to check out their new bass, demands a certain level of respect and good manners. If you happen to think the bass stinks, for whatever reason, just don't post. No need to be dishonest. As for my opinions (at least as far as this thread is concerned) - Corts are massively underrated, I've never played the Axe but the Punisher is cool as hell, and don't get me started on coffee table boutique singlecuts...

[quote name='TheSiberian' timestamp='1413918657' post='2583647'] When I was young...35years ago, I was (and still am a Kiss fan) and I remember that on the cover of their "Alive" double album was written something like: "Kiss plays Pearl drums and Gibson guitars and bass coz they want the best" So forget Cort and look for the original Kiss stuff...Gibson. All others are "Barbie marketed stuff to enjoy in Disneyland" but far, far away from the original Gene Simmons' huge bass sound. Best [/quote] That's nice. The OP comes on here excited to share his new bass with us all and almost instantly gets shot down. Good for you.

[quote name='Matte_black' timestamp='1413897375' post='2583258'] Go get it! [/quote] I'd rather go for the Alembic...
