Bellowhead -- their bass instrument is a sousaphone.

Yup, good call.

Ok. This year is REALLY starting to piss me off. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-35499149

1. 1965 Jazz Bass. 2. Wal 5-string. 3. Errm... 4. ...that's it.

Yup, another very happy EBS Neo212 owner here. Best cab I've had since my SWR Triad.

Well they certainly know what they want, and they have ambition and determination. I'm pretty sure that before too long in the near future we will never hear of them ever again.

Because it's a well-known fact that old(er) people never do drugs, as I'm sure Keith will agree.

All the above, especially about them being superb basses. IMHO it's definitely worth paying difference for the P, not that the non-P is a bad bass, far from it.

Old faithful... 1964 Höfner Artist II, my first bass. Bought for 20 quid off my metalwork teacher.

Yamaha RBX765A, defretted

1980 Wal Pro II-E

Shuker J custom

I am fascinated by these things. I love the body shape. Definitely want to see about getting my hands on one at some point.

[quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1454254853' post='2967863'] Yes, how very dare they, as makers of musical instruments, design and put [b]new[/b] musical instruments on the market. [/quote] I think the point is that they don't

[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1454257023' post='2967906'] Who cares?[/quote]Agreed. Being an old fart, I have filed R1 firmly under 'meh' for a number of years.

[quote name='wotnwhy' timestamp='1452205653' post='2947720'] Shuker killed my GAS. Ended up getting rid of all my other basses and have not looked at another for 10 years now! [/quote] Blimey mate, long time no see!

If I was to get a relic made, itd be a 65 Jazz in CAR and I wouldn't give a damn about picking up dings. My Shuker has got a couple as has my Wal (not really surprising after 34 years!) and I'm sure the Sire will in time. ATEOTD they're only tools.

Here y'go then ABG and a couple of WIPs missing from pic.
