      Thanks Mick! I think we'll hold on with the birthday present for the moment, because my main problem with any bass that's not a Corvette or a Bass Collection is the size. That Dingwall is slightly bigger than Jack's 5-string Mike Lull (35" scale) and I find that uncomfortable to play too. Maybe when I grow up... ;) :D

      URL edited in the hope that this time it will work.

    At NAMM. Small British contingent in attendance, lots of photos already taken, and the show hasn't even opened yet!

      @LeftyJ I did try the bass, but I'm afraid I soon realised that it's not a good choice for me. My tiny right hand felt really uncomfortable on the lowest frets - which are the ones I prefer to use, especially on a 5er. The 37 inch scale on the low B was not a problem, and it sounded majestic, but the fanned frets on the other strings were just too much hard work. The string spacing on that particular bass was wider than I'm used to, and the position of the pickup, slanted and much closer to the bridge than to the neck, felt weird when I placed my left thumb on it. I'll write a slightly more detailed review in my forthcoming blog, and will keep an eye on any other lefty models Sheldon may start producing, but for the moment I'll go back to my Warwicks. Pity :(

      This place is so big I haven't seen Alan yet! I hope he did get his basses. I'll find him tomorrow.

    Mods....are we any closer to getting the "Signature" feature reinstated? Not having to search for people's feedback was such a benefit.

      Mark is correct, Mick: they are enabled already, but visibility needs to be switched on individually - go to your Profile > Account Settings > Signatures, and put a green tick under 'View Signatures?' :)

      Thank you! Warwick bridges never disappoint... That picture is slowly becoming one of my signature images, together with the 'bassing bluejays' (which always play Warwicks as well). :):D

    Is there a way to scale the GUI of the new site? I'm using a 32" TV as my monitor and I'd like to make things a little less enormous, if possible. Also, is there a way to increase the number of threads shown per page?

      I think the only in-built functionality in all software is the ability to fill the screen without leaving black sections at the top or bottom etc.; adjusting the actual size of the text and other elements on the page is left to the user, presumably deliberately, considering the variety of screen shapes and sizes around.

      On a PC, pressing Ctrl + will enlarge the text, and Ctrl - will reduce its size. :)

      Not sure about changing the number of threads.
