Alice Cooper's bassist uses an Epiphone Vintage Pro Thunderbird live. I'm sure he's in a position to buy any bass he wants.

 

 

 

That's it. I'm getting one. The gas monster has been aroused once again.

I have an Epiphone jumbo acoustic, FT140, MIJ. The serial number slip makes it between 1970 and 75. Bolt on neck(!) Plays really well and is very loud. The tuners are three-in-a-strip, but still work perfectly after about half a century.

 

I have one of these.

I prefer the one on the right, the one on the left is an anti English tw@t!.... Just like most on the left these days!

 

Mel Gibsons hatred of the English comes from his father who is a very right wing conservative Catholic. 

Let's be honest though, most of the world (including most of the British) hate the English. They just refuse to let all that colonising and stealing of historical artifacts go.

I have never been happy with the way Britain is always portrayed as the bad one. Every country that could back then, would try to make an empire and expand her borders. France, Germany, Portugal to name but a few. It was just that Britain was pretty good at it and also brought civilisation to these countries. Yes there was exploitation but you show me one country that doesn't have skeletons in her cupboard.

 

 

 

And I'm a Scot by the way.

That's true, they were all at it. Difference is most other countries who did it have changed their name since.

This should settle it!

I think we should all cheer up a bit. Times are already tough enough.

Ok. The guy on the right looks like "half-Mel". Like the guy in the video below apparently looks like "half-Slash" (from 3:28). Enjoy 🙂

I'll try playing the double bass once I've mastered the single bass

 

May we tempt sir with the Violone in D - five or six strings, but with frets. And not too many of them neither.

"The preferred contrabass instrument of the Viennese Classical era" ie. good for Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven etc
