The Bass Zone / Re: Robert Palmer with Andy Fraser?
« on: May 10, 2011, 12:29:55 AM »
Robert Palmer was an amazing artist who managed to put out very convincing records in a wide range of musical styles. From the funky Meters/Little Feat style from Sneaking Sally Through The Alley , to the Hardrock of the Powerstation up till the very last album Drive with the Blues.
And I like all of them! What a loss. RIP.

Gibson Basses / Re: Supertone on a Casady

That's the first bass I've seen that actually looks good with the Supertone.
And it took some felt spacers to get it right.
But sustain improved greatly? I seriously doubt that.
(who needs sustain anyway?)

The worn faded ones are Gibson's entry level.

Most versions had the nylon saddles pictured here, though around late 71, early 72 some of these bridges were equipped with chrome plated metal saddles.

But with all due respect, Andy, for the difficult choices you had to make in your life: That 'tache has to go.And button that shirt while you're at it.
And get a haircut. And please use a bass guitar (or guitar even) while you're singing. Your stage performance looks awfully unaccustomed / not at ease without it.

How is that different from -let's say- a Fender Precision Bass?

« on: May 06, 2011, 02:04:57 PM »I've owned one with that neck joint for 45 years with no problem...but it's made of real mahogany.
Maybe you were lucky?
For example: none of my Gibson basses have ever had a headstock fracture.
That doesn't say the problem doesn't exist.

« on: May 06, 2011, 01:52:37 PM »I'm almost positive I've spent more money on pickup R&D in the last year than Gibson has.
Money spent recreating / reverse engineering a Gibson design pickup
