Has a definite [i]first amongst equals[/i] vibe about it

We've done this before, no doubt But... I was thinking it over, as I read through a few recent threads. We have a lot of commentary here about what bass might be best for this, or for that; and I'm sure, whilst we'd argue over which specific bass was best or which brand, I think we've got an approximate sense of what quality is. We know our Fenders from our Squiers; our Rickenbackers from our Rockinbetters; we have our arbiters of taste, and turn a blind eye to every man and his dog playing a couple of time-tested designs But do we have any guilty pleasures, where we buck the approbation of our peers and bandmates, and pick up something which we know not everyone will like, but which just feels bloody cool to play? I think mine is the Epiphone EB3. I shouldn't like it; I know many don't. But, small body; slim neck; black with rosewood and blocks; and the neck mudbucker... there's something about it Anyone else?

[quote name='Paul S' timestamp='1387119231' post='2308333'] How about a Barefaced club? [/quote] Throwing a foam party? I don't think the suggestion was to have separate forums, mind. Was wondering if this was something you might use the forum tags for, to highlight topics on specific makes or models. Just thinking out loud. I'd assumed the TB clubs were a vanity thing, but I can see how they might be useful.

Sounded good last night in Sheffield! Typically thunderous

Good call. The chap didn't fancy paying, so he left the forum not long after the ad was raised. I'll close this one.

I'll second the MTD comments, above. I loved mine, very easy player; I don't think it took a lot of thought or adjustment to play.

I still have a copy of this, somewhere: http://youtu.be/XWL4rWgUB0k

Brilliant at Download, I couldn't believe how loud Geezer was. Looking forward to seeing them again on Sat

Done, done and done; or at least on every device I had to hand

I loved mine. You will love this

[quote name='Musicman20' timestamp='1386203200' post='2297294'] I was in York at the weekend n all! [/quote] D'oh! The finish on the 2013 is very thin. No bubbles on mine, but will relic nicely... which I'm assuming was the point, Gibson? I didn't know they'd pulled the White/Cream model in 2014; but they did add a 5-string

Schwing!

[quote name='bobbass4k' timestamp='1386178992' post='2296821'] We don't have access to information like how many and which members have paid the fee. If you were willing to give me that information I'd happily put some numbers together. [/quote] No? In large part, they're the members posting the ads You could try Kiwi if you needed more - I'm not sure of his thoughts around divulging information, but it's a very public forum. The bulk of it's workings are on show for people to scrutinise.

[quote name='skej21' timestamp='1386190081' post='2297061'] Where are you based? [/quote] You've got two on the wall - lovely things... Though why they persisted with the short scale has always irked me. The classics, I guess

Blinkin' 'eck, we all seem happy to pass comment on the EB, but I can't recall many beyond myself owning one I'd definitely try and form your own opinion. I was going to remind you that I'm down the road if you want a try - indeed, Skej might still have one on one the wall of his shop still! I'll wait for someone to say you need a P-bass, now

I'll vouch for the EB2013 - light, fast-necked and very versatile. Confounding any assumptions people might have about Gibsons - coil-tapping and Babicz-bridged to boot! Skej will have an opinion, too - he sold me mine

[quote name='Toasted' timestamp='1386173769' post='2296745'] It'd be good to get some stats. [/quote] It's an open forum - help yourself, why wait?
