Flying V Bass vids are rare, but ...



Epis qualify:

Ben Orr....... Damn, he was handsome and great bassist.

You and your ulterior motives all the time! One track mind in a two track personality. 

I have a tough time holding Orr's and Ocasek's voices apart. Could have sworn that Let's Go, Just What I Needed and even Drive were all sung by Ocasek when they were sung by Orr. Whenever I see a vid with Orr singing, it murders countless pictures in my mind of Ocasek singing the same song. To my ears, Orr's voice sounds like Ocasek's after a producer has admonished him: "Ric, try to sound less nerdy for his take!"

And I'm generally quite good at telling different singers in a band apart, Beatles, Eagles (all five of them!), DP Mk III, Queen, Supertramp ... it rarely takes me longer than a split second, but The Cars confound me.

This is a custom made Dunable V.

Haha, that's a fun version.
in 1996 I was in band called Bittermoon, We also did that cover.
I remember it was fun to play.
Our recording sounds a bit on the safe side compared to the one above.

Not really watched this but did remember him with one back in the day...
Apparently built by someone called Glen Quann... has a JStar neck...?

Nice job by Max.

Glen Quann , the badass V .

Did he call it that, or are you referring to Glen Quan being the inventor of the Leo Quan Badass bridges?

Interesting thing I learned recently is that Jay, Max's son, is the drummer of Slipknot since 2014.

I did not know it was Glen Quan and a guy named Leo Malliaris who made the Badass bridge. I always thought it was an actual guy named Leo Quan. When I read Jeff Berlin say he used Glen Quan pickups on his P/J hybrid basses, I figured it was Leo's brother or something!

And I thought he was the one who discovered that the kids were being sapped ...
