Doing Things Wrong

Back to the '80s

I make no excuses or apologies.

still love this bass line
Duran Duran owned the '80s
ever seen the other cut of this?
search for the 'night version'
I guess I shouldn't have been surprised to find it
this is the internet!
remember vinyl? or film, for that matter?

This album cover is by an artist named Patrick Nagel, who did a lot of very stylish pieces like this, most of them a lot racier than this.


These were my first two tries at a 325 bass. Both are plywood over pine hollow-bodies. The one on the left - #1 - used an experimental neck mounting that I didn't like. The one on the right - #2 - suffered a router mishap. I took all the good parts and built the solid-body, and both of these bodies spent years on the scrap heap.
