Fascinating instrument and history, Trevor - so glad you were able to reacquire it! Funny, I saw this listed on Reverb within the last month or so when I was researching 12-string basses on a whim after someone notified me that they saw the RUclips video of Cheap Trick at M.I. in Hollywood back in '96 when I was there hosting a Hamer clinic. Killer bass!

When I first moved to Nashville I was hired to do quite a bit of session work for a particular studio. The producer on the dates would always have me bring nothing but P basses and one had to be strung B E A D (I didn’t have a 5 string P bass at the time) He always said that G strings were for strippers.

Trevor, is that you on bass?

I'm in the light gauge string crowd too....what strings are you running??

I have a 1986 Guild G37, all original. It's less than 60 from the last one made.

I have a shell pink Fender player stratocaster (MIM). I want to keep it as my main guitar. What changes do you think I should make to improve it.

Lol quality gibson

Thank you for a very informative review!!! I didn't know that Brubaker made Ken Smith basses!!!!! I really miss the Black Tiger 5 that I still regret selling years ago!!!😭

Score!! What other older Guilds do you recommend?

She’s growling, spitting, and bitin!🔥🔥🔥Sounds amazing!

The wood makes a difference! It HAS to be quality aged wood! Save your money get the quality stuff!

Very nice video. I have a short scale Alembic series 1 and it is impossible to convey the impact these basses have when you put them through an amp. Mine hits like a sledgehammer.

That bass sounds FANTASTIC, looks GREAT, and has the INCREDIBLE ALEMBIC TONE!!!

Great playing and a great bass

Gorgeous, Trevor! Just a heads up the bass looks large when you hold it up in front of the camera, so maybe show it next to a standard sized Alembic to give everyone a better sense of scale for comparison.😉

I have got a black one, very cool bass.

Nothing sounds like an Alembic. So incredible

I want this amp 😂

Alembic set the bar for high-end basses by making musical and technological works of art! and one of the most distinctive tones on the planet!! Of course, the AMAZING Trevor Lindsay makes any bass he plays SING!!!

Sweet bass, even medium scale Alembics look long!

Hey Trevor - I agree, solid tune! I like the swampy feel - the tune would also fit right in with The Black Crowes (as well as the 'Stones.) Your bass part is on point. Well done!

what's the string spacing on this one? looks a bit tighter than jazz bass and not as tight as 16mm...

sounds Yummy!

Great vid. Nice playing too. Really like those mij jaguars. Wish they came in other colors.

That piece of wood sounds Incredible…has a very ‘vocal’ quality.A true piece of Art

AWESOME!!!! Thank You.

Very nice bass! It seems to me that the quarter sawn necks that the Custom Shop puts on basses makes them much brighter with a faster response that the original pre CBS instruments- what do you think? I think they use quarter sawn for stability. I've read that Leo Fender changed from the 'slab board' to 'round lam' because he thought RL would be more stable. He believed that with the 'slab' the two types of wood moved with temperature/humidity differently

Are the side dots lined up with the "frets"? The mwah just doesn't get any better than this.

I own a Spector Euro 25 years ago, I don’t know if the new one sounds better but the price is twice now….

Nice playing, great bass.

Soundin tuff, congratulations she’s a beauty - play her in great health and thx for sharing

It is a great pleasure to hear a gearhead with the skills to really make a bass sing!

What kinda strings do you use and the guage strings sounds great

Nice 👍🏾

Some dentist probably had it as a wall hanger then got divorced 🤣. That thing is sa-weeet

Hey Trevor! Good to see you. La Ve Lee was in Studio City, just east of Jerry's Famous Deli and The Sportsman's Lodge. I never made it to a gig there (even though it was just west of The Bass Centre,) but I do recall it was one of THE places to see muso's such as yourself back in the day.

It has a really nice tone. Congrats, killer bass.

Very, very cool Trevor Lindsay, both bass and your playing!

ohh.... what the...... love the pick up sound

Wich brand of strings are you using on this one? The tension looks really good btw

I wanted to ask about your pickguard on the Jaguar. I know that stock those came with a 3-Ply Mint Green pickguard, but it looks like you've upgraded to a white pearloid pickguard. Where can I find one like that? I just recently purchased the same model and was thinking of making the same swap. Cheers & compliments on the fantastic tone & great info!

Agreed - I own another one of the same batch

Nice Review!

Jeez, Trevor, I'm absolutely humbled. Thank you so much for your kind comments, and for being an integral part of The Bass Centre's success and history. It really was a special moment in time for bass players, and I'm SOOOOO grateful for having the opportunity to be a part of it.

very thin sounding

I will only own 80s smiths

trevor...what's the fingerboard radius on that baby ?

Beautiful Bass! Oh yeah It's on the way to my house! Thanks Trevor!

It’s great to hear you reminisce. We are from the same generation and I am so happy I great up when bass guitar was really out front.

Wow, that slap is unreal!
