The show must go on they say.  No, sometimes the show must not go on.  Also, having advisors around that you'll actually listen to is always a good idea.

This new video from Reverb about short scale basses features a few seconds of a 70s EB-0 starting at 3:52 and the new DC Junior Tribute at the 7:37 mark.

Pet peeve: this guy says Lez Paul. I recently realized that a lot of Brits say it that way. It's pronounced "less" since it's short for Lester.



I saw that myself early this morning.  Being interested in short scales, it was just up my alley.  I was a little puzzled by putting the no-name Tele-style bass in there, though.  Even if you wanted that, I think it might be kind of hard to find.

Aw man that's a bit harsh...


Ah right you're listening to old cowboy shite. It makes sense now.  :P

I've lived not too far from Nashville much of my life.  I've always disliked Nashville country.  And it keeps just getting worse.  But Texas country is another matter.  I still don't know much about it.  But I was literally shocked at how much better it is than the Nashville rubbish.

Nekkid wimmin or not, another example of the camera spending way too little time on the bass.

I sent the music earlier to a friend who is often hard to impress.  I just got an email from her.  She's impressed.

I'd like to hear them do "Dialogue 1&2"

They are doing a great job!!  Also, having female backup singers is a plus.

Haha! Yeah the Internet is a lovely place. There's a truth to be found for any lunatic.

I'm trying to figure out which one is Cher.  ;)

I read some of the comments  beneath the video.  Some people seem to be very drawn to what was going on.  Some seemed to think the dancing was even seductive.  I guess they might have been imagining what the dancers really looked like, but I'm not that imaginative and don't want to even try to be.

Yes, I think there are rules like that, but in this case making an exception would be understandable.

Several people do a good job on this song, but I think I may like Chuck Berry's version the best.

Also, I might add that I hope to hear a positive progress report soon.  I know from lots of experience that dealing with ailing parents can be a very serious matter.

True. And even when there's no preconception, some people can't identify what they're hearing. Years ago, before forum software became popular, I remember reading a negative review of a Thunderbird where the reviewer complained that it was all treble and sounded just like Jack Bruce's trebly tone on his EB-3.  ???

I hope somebody called the reviewer out on his cluelessness.

I hope he is completely back to normal soon.
