Well guys,
I am still overwhelmed by Peggy. Today I had the honor to be able to take my hands on her. My wife and me visited Christian the faker and his wife today at their home and he was so generous to allow me to lay my hands on Peggy.
Wow, this bass is fantastic. And not that heavy. It is slightly heavier than my Spyders.
Christian, if you ever get rid of your baby plse call ME first! :-)
Anyway many thanks for the warm welcome and the good coffee and cake.
Below plse find some pics that Christian has taken with my mobile phone cam.

BTW: as I love those huge headstocks: the 8-string headstock
is really most sexy....

Hi, Oliver, hello folks,

obviously, Oliver, you and Eva arrived well back home after a hard day at a fair in Frankfurt. My wife Meike and I were very glad that you took the chance to visit us. We just returned the hospitality that I received during your WHO ARE YOU gig in Düren.

Hope to see you soon, at the "Light & Sound" at the end of March latest, stay healthy, and keep me posted on "Tears for John" and all those tiny little other subjects.

Well,
I must say "Peggy" inspired me....
As we have both 8string (Trick of the Light) as well a fretless song (Give Blood) in our set list it would be good to have a double-neck too.
So what about a Spyder or a Dragon Wing double-neck?
What do you think?

Hugh,
yes originally it was played by Pino.
As we do also solo material with our WHO tribute band we do two solo songs of Pete, Give Blood and Rough Boys.
