The Last Bass Outpost

He must be a ray of sunshine in the house of Flake 

He should have left that Pogues classic alone. It brings nothing new/better.

Thanks for posting that.  I enjoyed it.  He seems like a great guy.

Heck , I usually use short scale basses , and I'm quite happy. I'm an old fashioned four string guy. I have a number of friends that are diehard Dingwall people. Those that like 'em tend to do the deep dive.

He has a lot of very satisfied customers. Nice to see him find some fame.

I've seen Trevor with a Ric before, but not that one. Pretty sure it was black. I'd like to get a closer look at this white one. Wonder what's going on where the treble pickup goes?

Interestingly, he was a righty, but chose to play lefty "out of admiration (for) and devotion to Paul McCartney", so Wiki claims.

There's a guy in a Chicago-based Beatles tribute that switched to lefty.

And I'm pretty sure Ed had a greenburst Ibanez Rickenfaker early on.

I'm currently playing a 32'' scale Alembic, tuned down to C#, and it sounds incredible. The end.

See, I know what I'm talking about too! 

Wide guard, probably pre-1971

For the uninitiated, Flake is the wonderfully odd keyboarder of Rammstein.
