5- Peavey Milestone 3, Peavey DynaBass (I think) x2- fretted and fretless, Conklin Groove Tools Bill Dickens 7 string, and my 5 string DB courtesy of Bob Gollihur.

I'll have a listen to it once I get my speakers set back up but transcribing it is probably pushing it a bit for me.

There's a higher spec pickguard....

He gets extra point for the "rants" section.... "I (we) enjoy playing this giant instrument. I don’t wish I played the flute, piccolo, or clarinet.... When you see a bassist in the elevator with his bass think twice before you make some joke that all of us have heard dozens of time. You’re not the first to say it no matter how smart you think you are."

I bet it sounds beautiful...

Just bought a Peavey fretless 5er from BassJase- came promptly, was excellently packed in in mint condition. Can't ask for more

To stop his pedals getting sweaty?

I saw the tour in Glasgow- missed most of Cynic's set cos I had to work late but Opeth were phenomenal- that's the fourth time I've seen them and I think that was the best yet. Heavy! Is there any chance Cynic will do a headline tour at some point? They seemed to go down very well and I would love to see them properly.

I just ordered the new Cynic album and the new Omnium Gatherum albums from Amazon

40-41" is a pretty standard 3/4 string length, and should be pretty comfortable to play. There's not really a defined size for double basses but the Zellers are pretty good value. If the price is right I would go for it.

Should probably add I bought Finbar's Conklin 7 string a while ago and completely forgot to leave any feedback- was a great transaction with a lovely chap and wouldn't hesitate to do it all over again

Thanks guys

Just sold Simwells my Boss V-Wah- absolutely spot on to deal with, very prompt payment. Top marks all round
