  1. I saw pics too. At first I thought "Could it be the lighting or the way the photo was treated?"

    But I have subsequently seen TWO different piccies... so it looks like he got one refinished. Maybe the dark purple one seen during the studio pics? Maybe the burgundy mist one refinished? Maybe a different one all together that was refinished?



    Do you know what show that was from? I'd like to see if there is YouTube footage of it - to verify.



    Whatever bass was refinished, hope it sounds as striking as it looks. Cause THAT is one great looking Precision Bass.
  3. sorry for the late response, now you already figured when he used it defo prefer it to the gold one as well, looks way funkier in purple!

    The gold Precision and Jazz are great . But I have to agree that the purple is especially funky.



    Looks to have the same abalone-like fret markers that the gold one has. Love the matching purple sparkle headstock.



    I'd LOVE to have one just like it.



  5. Meh, I still like the gold better.
  6. I bought a Cort Action Junior bass guitar for a friend last week. She is quite small and used to strumming acoustic guitar, so the short scale fits her very well.

    This bass guitar fits in a normal electric guitar gigbag. Sounds really good, too. Soft and full, not too much sharp attack. Nice toy for me, great instrument for her.

    Jack Bruce and Paul McCartney were playing short scale AFAIK, too.

  7. Jack Bruce and Paul McCartney are two great and very melodic playing bass players.

    Listen to the new Beatles remasters... particularly the MONO box set. WOW. Punchy sound and the bass and drums sound far superior (even in the Mono box) to the 1987 CDs.
  9. The snare drum and the cymbals in the Please Please Me record sound like it's the end of the world. Awesome.
  10. From June on, I HATE Fernandes. Not that they are bad guitars/basses at all, it's just that I miss our ol'n'little Explorer

    I know what you mean. I don't know why he's using the retro for this song, there's no sustaining involved, except I think at one part he simulates a kind of feedback with teh sustain. I also miss the guitar riff he played during the "I remember, when we could sleep..." that was so cool back in the day, i loved that changed guitar part from the album. I don't like the new one as much.
