My Ell loves basses and guitars. Plays in a band on and off. She comes at weekends so her room is where the basses live… ”dad, can I borrow yer Gibson?” ”in the house?” ”no, for rehearsal” ”uhm…Sod off…” She has a lovely 90’s Yamaha of her own.

Yeah - they seem to have caught on a bit in the guitar world.

Hard to capture this basses prettiness…

Now got the correct truss cover on too… well, in my head.

Would love a blue - not gonna happen this side of 2026 though 😐

f***ing STING YOU Stanley Clarke… there, how many’s that? she’ll be at this for a while

Victor Wooten… Bootsy Collins he’s a bass player Duck Dunn Geddy Lee shes now shouting bass players names at me in bed. 🙄

Bob Babbitt Flea James Jamerson Marcus Miller pino palladino Nathan East Jaco Pastorius papa elf (Lee sklar) The Queen guy, wears short shorts…Deacon, John Deacon is he a bass player, the one I don’t like…Paul McCartney there you go…that’s Jenny’s answer. Didn’t say me…

I’d love a reissue 3000/1600… But I doubt that’ll happen.

Lovely sparkly things

Sad news - love to family and friends x

https://on.soundcloud.com/M57pnZtayuH1EgJL6 the last months embedding victory has now been thwarted. Started messing about, didn’t really try to make it specifically Iris-ish. But, like her story, starts tentatively and full of tension and the second the bass player gets involved - there’s no stopping. The bass is a Jack Casady anniversary, the guitar a Yamaha FG and the rest is GarageBand. I thought about doing more - but I liked it. The bass playing is a mix of Cliff Burton, Hooky and Pino Palladino…just not as good. Enjoy. .....edit by Lurks

The anniversary looks very special now I’ve swapped the PG for black, hard to capture the flamed top…

My original “twins” - Ash body, maple cap, ebony boards…21 frets (or 21 positions on fretless), Seymour Duncan classic stacks and VVTT controls. Epiphone Jack Casady basses - 20th Anniversary and Ltd Pelham.

Oh no - sorry, I meant the foil € Not the truss cover x

Well, I got a single one off eBay rather than a sheet of them off aliexpress… No idea what I’d do with 12 of the buggers

Thanks to @ezbass looks like the truss Rod cover is in hand. I know with it being a commemorative model, seems sacrilegious, but it’s just my brain. awaiting the 2025 gigs to recreate this…

Yeah - its wonderful. Like a Mos Eisley Cantina but with a heart of gold 😉 Congratulations on 10 years x

Took a better photo before, weird as it’s bright cherry in some lights…and dark wine red in others. Anyhow… I want one of these… As I don’t really like the “anniversary” stuff on the truss cover, looks a bit Mickey Mouse…
