Wow. All I know about Schecter basses I learned in this thread, but that looks like an amazing bass for a really remarkably good price. Looks like you have an original scratchplate (I've been hunting one but no luck yet) and pickups too. How does it sound?

Apologies, that weight was including the case and extraneous gear that was in the case. The bass itself is a little over 5kg.

Thanks for posting this discussion. I just caught up with the SNL appearance last night and spent the whole time going, "great songs but...that bass!" And of course TB has the answers.

That is the PERFECT Rickenbacker Club response.

Thank you. That looks like it was an incredible gig.

Wow. What that Invalid Link Removed, with Stereolab?

Same. I was definitely too young when I got my first Rickenbacker (a 1976 Midnight Blue 4001). Swapped it for two Technics turntables and a mixer (insert forehead-slapping emoji here). Tried to bring reggae to Australia. Did not work.

Wow. Put a top hat on it, fetch it a cigar and pour it a Manhattan.

Some truly inspirational Bruce Thomas here. Thankfully, the bass is mixed louder than usual too...

Ha. Exactly, and good point. I was surprised to read how many punks secretly (or in Johnny Rotten's case not so secretly) admitted to being fans of Yes after 1980.

No shame at all. When I started out, I thought the best thing about Yes (and ELP, Wings and any other band that had the temerity to release a triple live album) was that they were SO much about musicianship and so removed from their audience that they created the perfect environment for punk to...
