  1. http://www.destroyallguitars.com/newarrivals-extras/4842-pheo-viola-bass If you're new to Pheo Guitars, read on. These fractured, yet crafted, random yet profoundly organized instruments are the creations of Phil Sylvester of Pheo Guitars. They are the very epitome of functional art – they play, beautifully, even startlingly well. They are consummate instruments that press hard at the boundaries of what we normally think an instrument “should” be. From Pheo you will find remarkable guitars and amplifiers made from found objects and crafted elements – old instrument parts, hairdryers, grills, vacuum cleaners, etc. all deconstructed and reassembled into a whole that only vaguely resembles, and certainly transcends it’s origins. [b]Pheo Viola Bass - $2400[/b] McCartney style bass but made with a real viola body, solid spruce top, solid maple back and sides. A rock maple spine from neck pocket to tailpiece takes the string tension, leaving the top free to vibrate. 34 inch scale, 12 inch radius, graphite reinforced neck. P bass type pickup with volume knob, suspended over the body.

  3. Good read Tom. For the record, I've never accepted an endorsement............mind you, I've never been offered one! If Brubaker want a 3 gig in school a year man to represent them in Scotland, I'm your man!

  8. [quote name='risingson' timestamp='1342624556' post='1738111'] Aghh you came a few weeks too late! We have a residency at the Cavern Club every other Sunday but we've been in Sweden playing. We're not a 'Beatles' cover band by any stretch of the imagination but we do a fair few Beatles tunes, plus a load of British rock tunes as well. Monday isn't a busy night in any city in England apart from London, so I'm hardly surprised you didn't get any live music on the night. The Cavern Club is what it is... a shrine to the Beatles. It's a tourist trap, but I happen to think that you probably just got very unlucky with the days that you chose to go, it's usually pretty lively. Sunday afternoons are usually best. Here's my band playing one of our regular slots. Sorry you had no luck this time! [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hhjYlyGQrfk&feature=relmfu[/media] [/quote] Bloody excellent mate!

  13. [quote name='noelk27' timestamp='1342229835' post='1732205'] Recall reading an interview with Macca where he was talking about his early career, and why he bought a Hofner, as opposed to a Fender, and that attribution is to those comments. With The Beatles and solo seem to recall him playing various Fenders, as well as Precision-alikes such as a Yamaha BB1200. [/quote] He's also played Rickenbackers and Wals.

    New Bass!

    Brilliant!
  15. Well done coming on here! I am an infrequent buyer - mainly when I see a cool photo on the front and think, 'let's be 'aving that!' Must be difficult to pitch to such a wide audience! If I had a say, I'd like a feature where an average player and pro were paired up to review and swop tips while reviewing a bit of kit - one of the photography mags does it and it's always fun! Pub band of the month? Another idea would be to reunite a player with the bass they regret selling to see if it really was a bad move or just regretful nostalgia! Best of luck.
  16. Hate that type of music but even when it first came out I loved that line!
  17. Was it a Schecter? Great move by Cameron btw!
  18. I've never heard anyone with taste knock him.
