It's all inescapable! Five or six weeks ago I said to my wife and best friend, "I'm sorted now don't need any more basses and love what I have". A couple of days later I saw a (unique) bass advertised which I had coveted for many years and actually tried five years ago in a music shop. I couldn't afford it then but I can now! So much for good intention, deposit put down, coincidentally the asking price Was £600.

In the late 80's I was a student in Stoke on Trent, still very new to bass and enjoying learning. Route 66 had 2 or 3 Egypt basses in stock, I looked at them a lot! Couldn't afford anything even half the price at the time. Aah.

Thanks Brian, it is indeed very capable.

I'm fairly sure the late great Jaco Pastorius was a Rotosound endorser. He certainly used them and subsequently there was a set with different colour wraps dedicated to him. Why Jaco? Where to begin? Roto roundwounds on a fretless helped define his sound, flawless timing, great melodic awareness and masterful execution.

Vigier make amazingly playable instruments

Just fitted a passive wiring loom for my jazz build - so much better than the stock item. Thanks John.

I will look into the Herrick pick ups also. Thanks

New wiring harness purchased (through KiOgon John) after that's fitted and when funds allow - planning to get some Fletcher jazz pickups. That will be it, turning out to be quite a 'British' bass build.

Recently purchased an Eventide H9 from George. Total gent, item nicely packed and delivered swiftly. Deal with confidence, thanks.
