I've met a few of those in my time!

That JB is edible. Have never been a fan of gold hardware, but cannot stop drooling at this bad-boy - it's a wonderful-looking bass Well done on the build - I'm just awaiting a stack-knob control plate to finish off my latest monster...

Thanks Alan - Your rather gorgeous Wal is the same finish as mine, gotta love that Wenge! [quote name='alanbass1' post='1279698' date='Jun 23 2011, 03:10 PM']Welcome aboard[/quote]

Hi Jon, and thanks for the welcome. I've played everything from hard rock (back in 1986), through to trad-rock (Irish traditional music with bass and drums/percussion), but recently I've been playing along with Bernard Edwards era Chic Works wonders with rusty fingers!

Hi all, I'm Mal and I'm in Dublin, Ireland - have been playing for a long time, but paused for some years, and only recently started back. Current tools are a '73 JB (natural finish, with '71 neck), '09 American Standard JB (Lake Placid Blue, with BadAss II & Reggie Hamilton fretless neck), and a '85 Wal Custom fretless. Have a couple of Guild B-301s in storage at the moment. Sold off (foolishly) the Ampeg gear some years ago due to space limitations, am currently using a GK Backline II 115 with a 2 x 10 Hartke cab attached. Looking forward to learning from y'all!
