I have the black flake matching headstock BB414 although I would prefer the orange one! Really solid basses and more consistent and versatile than the equivalent fenders.

Good stuff mate - all good but I do love Firth of Fifth! I s that Pino Palladino........on lead guitar?

That is an ideal piece of wood!

Absolute stormer of a bass!

Expert? Us? Move alomg! Welcome!

If it's only a back up, buy a Steinberger Spirit and stick it down your trousers beside your ferret.

Like SteveK said, thumb and fingers for the dum diddy dum diddy parts is the way to go. Don't know how it was done originally though.[/quote] Looks like he's playing in his office! Probably a lawyer or a Headteacher who skins a big salary and twangs the plank all day instead!

Bass - great! Trainers -

Stunner - leave as is.

Unfortunately, he has shipped it as described. You'd probably have to show negligence via previous correspondence agreeing to a better form of packing. I have shipped using a case but tried my best to wrap and cushion the inside around the plank.

TYpe REM live into YouTube and there are tons of great vids with his P-bass Ampeg rig. Great basic sound.

Willie Nelson's bass player at Glasto last year was using an epiphone les paul heavy metal sig model! Epiphone Vinnie Hornsby Signature Les Paul

You are going to take a financial hit anyway so why not just play it?

The story I recall reading was that he was about to do a video in New York & sent someone out to buy the most beaten up bass they could get and that's what they came back with.[/quote] Sent his tech out for a video shoot (demolition man?) and he came back with the P-bass....his plan was to discard it but curiously he loved it and it became his go-to bass!
