Ah, from that healthcare nation the USA is under! Willkommen.

(So he doesn't wear fur and he's not bearded. Fat chance he's a BTO member then. Sigh.)

I guess the Cannucks are as rare a breed here as us Eurotrash, too... ;D

Welcome Muzold. I too am an owner and a fan of gutted and customised Dean Edge basses. Mine is a 4 string with Passive EMG's, CTS pots, Switchcraft output and a Gotoh 201 bridge.

I have two Dean Flying V basses ... one of them

I lik'em too. They play to my most primal and archaic instincts, just like Status Quo. To me BTO is like a rocked up CCR though admittedly Herr Bachmann isn't quite the songwriter Herr Fogerty is, but he's good enough to tap your feet to and be instantly put in a good mood.

What bass is that C.F. Turner (back then generally a Ricster) is playing in that footage?  :o Looks Les Paulish, but is a long scale ...   ???

 We had the track coach for P.E. back in High School, he'd make us run "stairs" as part of our warm up - we'd sing "Takin' care of business" while running them because it pissed him off  ;D

I'm terrible at spotting Guilds unless they are B-302s.   :-[

What kind of music do you play/like to play?

Hey, and it could have been a lot worse, we could have welcomed you with jokes about Canadian bands that write instrumentals about license plates ... But we really didn't want to rush things. Yet.
