Carry-over from page 10808/post #216045 :

More comparison of the Pelham Blue 8-string SG bass I recently bought. It's not here yet, but I just noticed other differences between the one I bought and another 'just like it' I found on eBay after ordering.

This is mine - judging from all pics, it 'appears' to be fairly good quality/workmanship - good enough and possibly better for what it cost.

Here's the other one -

Pics show what looks like two different hues of Pelham Blue. It's possibly just the colour balance in the pics, or they could actually be different. Basically a cosmetic difference - both colours are nice. But what is glaring is the set-neck heal differences. If this was what I saw first - no way would I have spend money on such. Also of note, the string-thru ferrules are in 2 different locations?!? I'd love to know the back story here.

After seeing these two very different basses - I just hope the one I bought based on the pics shown in the ad is going to be that specific bass...

I was learning “Don’t let it bring you down” last week. I thought I’d start by listening to the original. I like Neil Young, and it’s a great song, but the microtonality on the track is a bit much, even for me. The Cowboy Junkies did a cool heavy version:

That’s a cool flashback for me. In the late 1990’s I was very much into Cowboy Junkies, Mazzy Star, PET, NY Loose and PJ Harvey. Mostly dark down beat stuff, kinda psychedelic blues with acid riffs every now and then. Still some of my favorite music.

Hope Sandoval was every girl that never loved me back.

Concrete Blonde from that era is still one of my favorite bands.

Mostly just called "Coke" here and further south. Sometimes soda or pop depending on the area.

My penchant for precison has me calling it artificially flavoured carbonated sugar water... But that is probably only me.

Exactly!

At times older folk would say breeches. "Get your breeches on, we're going to ride down to the store get a Coke."

And then they tell you to go git a switch fer whippin ya.

Serious question. Wonder what percent of cyclists (male obviously), have prostrate problems and if it's higher than average. That prostrate wasn't made to sit on like that the way seats are made. Maybe it helps, who knows!

The prostate is reasonably protected. However, there are nerves that are being sat upon and can result in temporary or permanent nerve damage that can result in... Let's call it a software problem.

I don’t think it’s a long A. Bag rhymes with drag, hag, tag.

How do Canadians say bag?

I never wear pants when reading Thunderbird club... Just the grass skirt.

Did you get a refund or have to pay a restocking fee?

The restocking fee is half your stuff.

Nah man, there's a time and place for every bass guitar.
Regardless of its love or hate for it.

So the story about Rush never getting high or drinking isn’t true. I never believed it myself.

Gibson stole Chucky's idea.
