But... remember you're auditioning them as well.

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1334780145' post='1621286'] This is also true... nothing improves your playing like being in a band. If you're the least able, you'll play up to everyone else's level and improve much more quickly than you would by playing against recordings. [/quote] I agree (being there, doing that

I think ThomBassmonkey is right. The name "Palmer" was not mentioned then, but I remember thinking "oh I've got a Palmer with a headstock like that". Two other names were mentioned, but I can't remember what they were. [quote name='ThomBassmonkey' timestamp='1334791079' post='1621512'] iirc recently there was a thread by a guy asking the same question and his bass had the same headstock shape. I can't remember what the results were, maybe if you search you can find it [/quote]

Okay, I have no way of knowing if this is accurate. Cory Doctorow is an honest man, AFAICT. So, if it's true, this is quite awful: http://boingboing.net/2012/01/04/paypal-if-you-dont-like-the.html

On its way to jacqueslemac.

Okay. PM me an address, I'll send it.

So who's now on the list? I was glad to read it but now it needs to go...

[quote name='andyonbass' timestamp='1334289330' post='1613869'] My daughter has a sixty quid Westfield P bass. Its a brilliant piece of kit and I'd be happy to gig it anytime if it wasn't [i]PINK![/i] [/quote] I want one

Guy I know runs a Yamaha BBG5 tuned E - C. Plays well, sounds good.

The first bid was mine. Whatever, I'm not going up against people here for it. WPD can have it.

I bought a Gramma Pad from Ross. Good comms despite his illness, all went well. No hesitation in dealing with him again. Cheers!

I bought his SB301. He was very tolerant of my ineptness with the bass I'd brought hoping to trade. Nice guy; recommended. Thanks Ian

Please add me to the list

I've got one, and I wouldn't part with it. Pups are a bit underpowered, it weighs a ton, and mine has been half stripped. The nuts seem to wear badly, as well. But it's a great piece of kit. Mine has one black-transparent knob, like Thor's post, and one cream hat-type. The cream hat-type matches the pup colour, so I figured that was probably the original.
