Hear that monstrous growl that Rinus Gerritsen is getting from his self built Darwin fretless bass. People like Steve harris and Ted Nugent have highly praised Gerritsen for his groove and 'tude and this song is a good showcase on where that admiration comes from.

He now has a signature model based on that bass.

I've been a Golden Earring fan for many years. We have a couple of their tunes on our set list. Good stuff. Wow,what a headstock.

Yeah if a Gibson Thunderbird's headstock is prone to breaking I don't want to know what the risk is with that one.
