That looks pretty good. Wonder how it sounds with those J-pickups.

Wasn't it Uwe that said the Standard RD sounds like an angry Jazz bass? Maybe this one sounds angrier?

That is a ripoff if I ever saw one! Gibson legal department please retaliate and "commence" - to quote a late US President in a joky mood - "bombing Russia now".

Amazing how bad a sound you can get even out of a Hiwatt if you mess up the settings hard enough.

His playing is nothing special, but I don't think the intent was to showcase that. I'm betting he's a guitar players who was handed that thing to demo.  It's just a Hiwatt badged cab anyway. That looks like a GK amp on top of it. If you could beef up the bottom of that tone, it would sound like a Wal.

Nossir, but it only takes one look at the length of the neck and size of the body to make a good guess.

I've never really considered them to be "divers" even with my lighter-than-usual model...

I thought he meant "neck divers" as how the weight pulls your neck down into that Quasimodo rock look?
