"That's not a Rickenbacker" Bob mused.
Bruce engaged with his new acquisition immediately, he stroked and caressed the woodwork before getting the feel of the enormous strings under his fingers; he soon began to pick at one of the long, chunky strings: it vibrated under his finger work with a deep rumbling sound. Before long he was plucking tunefully, eyes closed and rocking with his instrument, by this time Bob had joined in with rhythm guitar, "it feels like a dance partner..." OK Bruce, um... dinner's ready. Then Barry arrived and a drum line was added as the house filled up with supporters for the evening's Bad Terrorist gig at Bob's local.
Oddly,that was the last we heard of the Bull fiddle that evening: Bad Terrorists played with squeaky Mike and Rob the eagle at the Foresters and although the physical form of the double bass was much admired, sadly the sound was lacking, 'Turn it up Bruce" yes, we all agree, a stunning instrument, looks good with the beard, makes a great sound too and we'd all like to hear it.
