Hello, It will definitely be okay in a golf, just make sure that you support the bass around the heel of the neck. As regards buying a bass, try Peter Tyler, he is in Maidenhead, Berks. Yes, I know it's a long way, but, he will be able to sort you out with something between £600-£20,000. He's a great bloke. www.tylerbasses.co.uk Ta ra fer a bit, Simon

Mmmm. While I would agree that V&R are pretty darned pricey. Are you, or the people that actually pay those crazy prices, buying a guitar/bass, or are you/they paying for the kudos-the dream? I sell lots of old second-hand books, some of them are tatty old paperbacks/hardbacks, but some are first editions often signed by the author. Now, to yer penny-pinching-ebaying-car-booting-3for2ing-peacocks-shellsuitwearing-mofos these are "HOW MUCH!?!". People are paying me for my knowledge, wheat from chaff sorting skills, and my Bernard Black sunny disposition. It's kind of the same reason that so many of us continued to go to the BassCentre, despite the off-hand treatment we invariably received, sadly they never recaptured the vibe/mojo of Wapping, and now... So, I don't think we should knock 'em per se, rather applaud them for keeping the dream alive, yeah they're expensive, but they are in probably one of the highest rent/rates areas, and, if you ever spot a truly under-priced bargain do you offer to pay the extra that it's worth?

Hello, I figured it was about time I actually did this. So, I am first and foremost a double bass player, I also do the bass guitar. Based in Dorchester, Dorset. I own a bookshop, "Words Etcetera", new/secondhand/antiquarian, plus vinyl LPs. Currently in the Dorchester big band, and playing with some local singer/songwriters, plus the local jazz jam session. Oh yeah, my name is Simon...
