Ok, I take it that you are not a fan of Heidi Stern (aka Jennifer Rush) then either.  :mrgreen:



To be fair, her vibrato is more controlled though if somewhat ubiquitous.

We've taken too much for granted ... and all the time it had grown ...
From techno seeds we first planted ... evolved a mind of its own ...

Not fair!  :) She made coffee/was a secretary at the (then) CBS Studios in Frankfurt in the early 80ies until someone let her go near a microphone. Hard working girl.

But I tired of her voice quickly too and can even today only hear it in small doses.

I never tasted her coffee so I cannot judge her by that, and I'm not a fan of her music.
But she does have something going on, everytime I hear her sing that song I'm taken back to fond 80's memories.
I did hear that whole album in a stretch once (as a grown up) and that was not too pleasant.

Anyone know what this finish is?
Lava burst? Cracked lava?

Custom job? Limited edition for Japanese market perhaps?

I saw a picture of one of those a couple months back. It was on a Japanese dealer site, but can't remember which one.

Basvarken

Probably at Mikki Gakki.
Here's what they wrote about this bass when I asked them:

"This model is the prototype model before commercialization.
It is one of the samples made as a sample, only this one has been on the market.".

Ah, ok. It was the one and same bass then. I thought at the time it was a Japan special run.

And I am remiss for not including local now Geffen-signed, boys Metz:

I saw an RD Artist in a Toronto shop for a really good price . It was in great condition , but it was just too heavy .
It weighed a ton .
I regret not buying it now .

Not just heavy but also very long.  They are a bass for large people.  Makes me look like a twink when I wear it.  That Metz bassplayer is taller then he looks holding that thing.  Somehow Thunderbirds don't have quite the same effect.

I love seeing pictures of myself as a skinny 14 year old with a Grabber :)
