If you could pick, what’s the one track you would choose?

Ben bought my Vigier, great guy to deal with and such an easy transanction and good comms all the way, Thanks Ben and enjoy.. Brian

Margarita - Marillion

I've just received Brian's stunning Vigier Passion - well, it's mine now! Superb condition as described and packed for shipping with the utmost care. Great comms too. Thanks Brian!

looks like a good wee project now the nights are fair drawing in.

The brushed metal case of the VIP looks a lot nicer in-person than these photos and videos. It's a high quality tooling and finish. But ultimately who cares, as long as it's sturdy (which it definitely is). No-one in the audience will pay it any attention and even if they do, most pedalboards look like a crappy mishmash unless you happen to have complementary visual designs across the board - or choose your pedals based on fitting a visual aesthetic over sound.

An update for anyone still following this, or for anyone who might have this same issue in the future... Lots of suggestions have been made in this thread, I decided to start with the easiest one to see if this worked: Bought one of these Lehle DC filters, but it doesn't solve the problem. Next up, I'm going to try this:

Killer tone as always!

Zombie - The Cranberries

Braineaters - Misfits

Oh, that's a shame, I was fully planning on auditioning some German bows from them whenever I was feeling flush enough. I might try a speculative bid or two on the auction, you never know, especially with the German bows where demand might be lower...

Thanks for all the recommendations, and comments pro or contra. Much appreciated. I’m not sure whether to go fretted or fretless, so I just acquired one of each in the lower end of the price scale to help me fight it out: a Danelectro Dead On 58 Longhorn and the Epiphone Jack Cassidy Fretless. I used to have the Longhorn a decade or so ago, and the Ibanez SHR 4-string fretless, but have been away from the bass for a while. I’ll give them six months or so, then make the decision on a single higher-quality instrument. My style: And

I think they deal with such incredible volumes of parcels these things happen. I had it with a super long parcel collected by Evri. (Stagg EUB). It sat for 5 days in the depot then was delivered the next day! I’m glad the buyer got the bass and I’m sure the money will be sorted out.

I met the family when I was last there and they’re a wonderful bunch. I think the closure was forced to some degree by the state of the building (but I can speak with any authority on that).

Paul Chambers - "Freddie the Freeloader" by Miles Davis it's in bars 11 and 12 of his walking line , I think it's because it wasn't the chord I was expecting I should write it out Anthony Jackson on Donald Fagan "Ruby Baby" there's a sharp #11 in his line (maybe like Freddie it's a dominant lydian chord)
