[quote name='flyfisher' timestamp='1415797137' post='2603838'] I wonder how many people on here who admire Guy's playing would find his bass is 'unplayable'? Or anyone else for that matter. Surely it's obvious that such a characteristic is only relevant for the person doing the playing? Reference has already been made to Jamerson's famously 'badly' set up bass and I can just imagine BCers coming across it in a pawn shop and thinking that such a pile of crap is not even worth a tenner Makes 'signature' basses a bit of a joke doesn't it? [/quote] His bass is unplayable by all of us on here because we can't get our grubby mitts on it!

Contact 7String on here. He has one he is refurbishing and knows them inside out.

[quote name='JTUK' timestamp='1415441490' post='2600315'] Great player who is a member here. Shame he felt the need to have to 'leave' Ferry knows the value of a great band ...it keeps him going. [/quote] Never knew that...why? He's quite happy to tweet.

Basically cos he is! Nice shell pink jazz bass showing everyone why he's a boss man!

See Bill, Billy, Ryan, Paul or Danny - all top men.

Genius. GReat song although I love the one the burny cigarette one too!

In my life, I've had:[list] [*]Genuine 70s P-bass I traded for a Steinberger copy because it was so poor sounding and woolly to pay. [*]Fender American Strat (90s) that I sold as it was not great as a player or sounding. [*]Fender American Telecaster (2004) that I sold as it was a poor sounding and average player. [*]Fender Classic 50s Telecaster - very good player that I sold as I believed the crap about 'you need a flatter radius!.' [*]Fender Classic Player Cabronita Thinline - best sounding and playing out of the lot. [*]Squier P bass Special - sounded brilliant but was a bit of a mission to play [/list] I have also had a long term loan of a Hank Marvin CS stratocaster built to order. It was a good guitar but the nut cracked and it had a few wee repairable problems that were a nuisance. Conclusion? If any young player asks me what to get I say...play as many as you can but if you don't have a lot of time buy a classic player second hand. Best value in the range. IMO though, Fender have went nuts recently with models and I think there are far too many blurred lines. Conclusion?

Not for the easily offendered.

Next you'll be backing Clapton and Collins....

One of the great bass lines.

About 15 months ago they were about £601-680 new. I'd say that was a touch too ambitious a price.

Love that song and bassline! Beaut of a bass too! Well jell!

Stunning looking.

Beaut!

Stunner.

Dropped it after 5 years gigging in 1991. Only really took it up again in 2007.

Ice cube cool! He's the British Trujillo!

Prince, Led Zeppelin, Rush, Eagles?

Trujillo is an absolute monster on the bass.

Who is the bearded hippy in the woolly bunnet? Singing Mars? Goldfrapp - not my cup of tea.

Thought it was a Lakland at first but the headstock looks Sadowsky.

[/quote] Yup - just listening to them on SKY's From the Basement based on what I heard last night. Very impressive.
