I was addicted for a while but I'm back with the real thing now. Playing the guitar lines is ace but it has to be said playing bass in two player mode is exceedingly boring though. i can't wait for 'Rock Band' to come out - drums as well!

stewart, cheers for that link. I was thinking exactly the same think about schaller straplocks this morning! Problem solved!

Yes the red jazz seems to be his standard drop tuned bass. Just been watching the Show of hands DVD and the sound he got from his Wal bass is amazing. Now I know where Les Claypool gets his tone from! Geddy - bring back the Wal!!

ah - I got the non-DVD version of the album - doh!

I went and agree with most of the above comments. It's a pity they couldn't have slipped in a few more classics for the fans as the audience reaction to Natural Science, Subdivisions etc was amazing! Personally I missed Roll the Bones, Driven, and The Pass but that's just me. I'd echo the comments of a poster from one of the other gigs - the only bass that sounded any good was the Jaco copy. You could actually hear it for a start! Was it a fretless because if it was he didn't really play it fretless style! Jon

Lovely basses. I was intrigued by that reel to reel thing in the background. What is it?

Maye we should set up a bass collection owner's club - like the Shuker club on this site or the Sei owner's club on TalkBass. Or am i just sad?

Bass Collections regularly come up on the bay and go for very low prices (£200 or less). I can't recommend them enough - I own four!!! So if you missed out on this one keep looking!
