Just when I thought I had everything I need GAS

So I’m in the fortunate position of owning three beautiful Overwater basses. I really felt I had all bases (intentional pun) covered until last night.

o2 Academy, Newcastle, Friday 2nd November, one of my favourite bands, Blackberry Smoke, bassist Richard Turner playing a ‘51 style P bass. OMG what a tone! 

Now gassing for a butterscotch blonde ‘51 P bass.

So if that needs to happen, not your fault!

From an interview in 2016 he said he gets his tone from an Avalon U5  -- Link here:

Gigs can be dangerous. I would never have known I needed an EB2 if I hadn't seen one live. (Can't even remember the name of the band.) 

Indeed. As a result of seeing one at a gig I ended up playing an EUB for a time, which I ought not perhaps to have done as it was expensive, not as comfortable to play as a BG and a faff to transport. Looked and sounded good, though.

That sounds like a "get out of jail" card for me at the moment!

Since I have already a couple of Bass Collection SB-style instruments - one of their Power or Detroit basses looks like a good move, then.......:biggrin:
