    Bass companies that no longer exist?

    The Uk has a great tradition of bass luthiers. One I remember from the 80s is Pangborn. The Warlord seemed to have more than a nod to Alembic and Mark King’s Warlord is apparently hanging in a bar in Amsterdam! I think the brand of Pangborn ceased in the 90’s but it seems Ashley carried on...

    The bass you pick up to play the most and why?

    The one I play the most, because its the only one I’ve got! No seriously, I think there is great benefit in limiting your choice and exploring it fully. Too much choice can be distracting. This is my new build Overwater OS957 “Original”.

    Your favorite bass purchase of 2018

    I’ve seen a few German basses on here but no Brits so far. Here’s my Overwater Original, an updated (2014) version of their fabulous 80’s design. I never thought I would be able to own such a piece of craftsmanship. Sounds sublime and feels sensuous.

    Will it looks weird if I try to do prog metal with Jazz bass

    Chris Squire used a natural finish jazz on Going For The One. Not quite Prog Metal, but pretty rocky for Yes.
