Currently borrowing a bass guitar. They don't have many strings, do they? I assume that's why the bass players only get 40% of the tips whilst proper guitar players get 60%? ;-)

Anyway, seemed a shame not to drop some low down notes onto a tune whilst I can (although I'm not in the right union to allow my actual playing of the bass to be filmed).

The real reason I'm using the bass will become apparent at some point in the future when a proper album is released... watch this space, but not for some time.

It's definitely an 8 string 7 stringer.

On the plus side, I can finger guitar style (with my thumb) on bass, which annoys a lot of guitarists who can't. I know of only one other bassist who can play wearing a thumb pick, Prescott Niles, but there are doubtless others lurking out there.
