The Last Bass Outpost

New video from Kim Deal's first solo album, released last November.

I would comment here but Darrol has expressed my views very well.

These were really hyped as being great for the price. Doesn't sound like it at all to me. I'm sure you'll get it fixed.

D'oh!

Every Tobias in their inventory says Indonesia. Guess that settles it.

I notice that the over-$2K neck throughs all say that they won't be restocked, so maybe these are old stock.

At those prices, I would guess Korea. That's still Samick headquarters.

Tobias instruments were trailblazers in the bass world. Now they're back.

Those are premium features, not defects! 

I've posted the video with Albert Lee and Sterling Ball but this is quite a group.

Quote from: Alanko on March 24, 2025, 11:37:04 AMMy buddy had a Telecaster out with him yesterday, so I was trying out Wilko's right hand technique. It is brutal! All the muting and phrasing comes from the left hand, which is bloody hard work.

Wilko's schtick of being Mr. Canvey Island polymath geezer was quite endearing. Not sure how well it translated outside the UK!

Dr. Feelgood was little known here, but if you did know them, you paid attention to Wilko.

Gypie may have been more versatile but Wilko was a presence.

It should sell at that price. Surprised it hasn't already.

Happy 76th birthday to Nick Lowe.
