  8. That's considered the mistake, however in interviews with the band it was a mistake from rehearsals that they decided to keep as part of the song as it sounded good, rather than a mistake made during the recording session - by then it was a part of the song.
  9. I can personally confirm that a 4 string Euro tuned down to C# is a thing of utter brutal perfection. They should come with this tuning from the factory 😆

  17. Not Hamer - apparently Burns! Well, not a 12-string in the modern sense, but still. A random pic of The Hollies popped up on Facebook the other day, and I was surprised to see Eric Haydock playing what looked like a Burns Double Six instead of his usual Fender VI. On closer inspection, those strings do look a bit thick... so I did a bit of digging and yes, Burns made a 12-string bass in the 60s. It was even on their now-archived website so potentially was still available as a custom order in recent years - the Double Six Apache model. It seems that all the featured players of the Apache Double Six played it as a standard 12-string guitar, however the glamour shots on the Burns site are all clearly strung as a bass: And, it seems it was used for recording as well! Jump to 1:10 for a slightly hesitant bass solo. Begins well but then he seems to regret starting it at all.
