Seen pics on Facebook of some of the Brookes 12 strings, and they look amazing. 

Overwater recently posted a pic of a custom 8 string they were building, and that one looked really cool too.

Doesn't help my itch for an 8 string one little bit!  

Time marches on. Our two turned 18 this year, and have both passed their driving tests, so we see even less of them! One is off to Uni in September, the other is back to college on a music course and being in as many bands as he can (drummer).

More importantly, they've turned into decent people.

You must be immensely proud of all your kids @AndyTravis.

Feel Good Hit of the Summer - QOTSA

I thought the second video showed off the amp a bit better.

For £300, you should be able to pick up something like a Squier bass and a reasonable amp second hand, though with the amp, it's probably better to stick with a "name" brand, as the quality should be decent.

Even most shops should have a good selection of "starter" basses & amps.

Only just seen this, sounded like a brilliant idea.

RIP Ozzy. Legend.

Certainly went out on a high.

So then @AndyTravis, when's the err... the erm...    ya know... the err red Jack Casady being listed?

 

Just curious, no real reason. 😉

Asking for a friend?

@AndyTravis, we've all been there. You'll bounce back after a while away. Good luck.

@police squad, I do like the sound you're getting with both pickups.

Jump in the Fire - Metallica 

Another 45-105 stainless rounds user (D'Addario's). Absolutely no issues at all.

Year started playing 1985

Number of basses: 3

Music theory: 2-3

Technique: 5

Groove: 7

My Girlfriend's Girlfriend - Type O Negative

There is something weird going on when you have both volumes on full, I've always found it better to back the neck pickup volume back to about 75%. 

Definitely both tone knobs wide open though.

Then amp / pre-amp EQ to suit (plenty of mid though). I see @Jasper has his mid set around 75% (ish), treble a similar amount & bass around 60%. Sounding quite nice. 👍

Black Sheep of the Family - Rainbow

Must resist...

A fabulous looking bass, and a fabulously tempting price.

GLWTS.

Tomorrows Dream - Black Sabbath

Roll With It - Oasis

Time Stand Still - Rush

She's Calling You - Bad Brains

Jack of Shadows - Hawkwind

Highway to Hell - AC/DC

They look a bit like the wavy Grover's they used on 4001's.

Could it be an old 4001?

Definitely better than The Wheel.
