Moog Prodigy restoration...

No, I never did. Neither am I a keyboard player, I just play bass* (and have just started on drums) but it’s sort of a finger stabby bass machine, like the Rogue or the Minitaur. Whatever I play: be it Bass Guitar, upright, Acoustic, fretted or fretless, foot Midi Pedals or Chapman Stick, if it’s low then I just credit it all as just “Bass”. This might just join the pantheon of those instruments.

Quite addictive this, must see if here are more bashed up old synths to make good.

Please can we see pictures of your two-string Chapman Stick?

(I don’t use the other 6, they scare me, through the 3rd one might see an accidental fingertip)

PS it’s not really a “bass”, more an exercise in King Crimson frustration that goes thoNk... ThaDOnK... I don’t know how the grown ups cope with 10 or even 12.

I wouldn’t worry. Tony Levin would probably feel the same if he was simultaneously improvising poetry.

Speaking of his royal Levin-ness. I ordered some pairs of these (which I was saving for the “how to play bass with dream nails” post) — but [it] might be best taken to the general-purpose “Matthew lusts over ALL the guitar things” thread (where I am crapping the hell out of it with bass nonsense...)

Funk fingers, or finger-dildos, either way you use them much fun to be had.
