I've got three of them now, they're all about 10lb but that's still manageable... for now 😄

Self Immolation - Fear Factory

Maybe... 😄

The Low Spark Of High-Heeled Boys - Traffic

Don't Try Suicide - Queen

I'm a bit disappointed there's no case...

Another one just arrived... early Classic Vibe. Faultless construction.

Killing Yourself To Live - Sabbath

Just black and red at the moment. Red like Geezer's. This pic was taken seconds after he bashed his hand on one of the pointy bits.

I intend to use one for tender afternoon coffee shop gigs. Through a Boss HM-2.

I'm desperately excited that BC Rich have finally reissued the Ironbird. It's one of my favourite bass designs ever. Despite not playing much metal anymore, I still hope to get one and use it as often as possible.

I think they've been empty since John Entwistle died. I appreciate Pino saved the day but blimey, a more unsuitable player for The Who would be hard to find.

7 And 7 Is - Love

On a more serious note, are bass and shoulder ok?

This has made me laugh harder than it probably should have. Congratulations on your almost Shakespearian diction when the speaker goes.

Eh?

Dead Again - Type O Negative

Alcohol - Kinks

I've just had a look at the Ibanez Iron Label basses - from what I can see, the only thing separating them from the standard BTB/SDGR is the matt finish. They'll both excel at a clanky tone if that's what you're after but not because of anything unique to those basses. Take any extreme-looking bass and turn the tone down and it'll play Motown.

Gently Johnny - Paul Giovanni

Good luck with that...

I'm very excited by the Tele bass... I don't think I'd need one but it's lovely to see it reissued.

Could be "new bassamp day" 😁
