I actually like the blue sparkle better, the purple one is a bit "pimpy".
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 ...

OK, OK, I'll leave the Epi TRC for now. I'm familiar with the Ric Police, but not the Epi Police.  ;) It's mostly obscured by strings anyway.

So this bass... It's made a T-bird lover out of me. It hangs on my body unlike any other 'bird I've played (which is admittedly few). Very much like my Alembic or former Epi Explorer. No real neck dive to speak of. And it's light. I haven't plugged it in yet, but soon enough. I'll probably bring it to Who's Who rehearsal on Sunday. Love the neck. The guy put TI Jazz flats on it. Those will go to another bass to make room for my usual DR Hi Beams.

Anybody wanna buy a Peavey 6 string bass?  ;D Gotta make room and appease the wife. https://reverb.com/item/81110366-peavey-tl-six-6-string-bass-bartolini-upgrade

The pickups are bright, I'm going to some SIT Power Steels on mine, they have more bass, lo-mid and mid presence.

Yours isn't, the Epi was. Yours has a purdy tone, the Epi looks trailer park.

The blue sparkle is rad.

They need to start doing some of the Dusty Hill fur coatings.

When Christopher Walken went mobster ape like no one else can.



in my line of work I have to watch an awful lot of kids movies, of which Jungle book is a definite sigh of relief when they choose that. and the best bit is definitely Walken channelling colonel Kurtz
