I'm surprised no pillock has wildly bidded because of the name yet...

A Zoot Boudica- edited now to fill in the two names I left out Thanks for the praise, always nice to know that the instruments are appreciated! I'll probably get distracted by something else shiny in the future Andy so you never know! And cetera, hush thine mouth! Lucky right handed git....

ah fair enough- odd choice for a first bass! Then again, I don't suppose there's any harm as long as you enjoy playing it. Like everyone said, those sites are pretty comprehensive- its just unfortunate about the C string!

you genius!

Knowing computers this will probably have fixed itself as I'm typing, but I can't change my avatar, all it does it resize my old one into the dimensions of the new one

First off a crappy encore pk40 that I shall hate forever- first of all for having a crap setup and second because it was left handed and I wish I'd persevered and learnt right handed instead Ah well, sold it to a mate for £20 for a project he was doin. No regrets whatsoever. [attachment=16657:1.JPG] Second a Rockbass streamer 5 string- good fun this, showed me what a pile of crap the PK40 was! [attachment=16658:DSC00748.JPG] Third my Streamer Jazzman 5er. What a departure that was! Never touched the other two again, bought from whynot on this forum, though ages before i knew the forum existed! Gorgeous thing. Do I wish I still had it? Not sure on that, I'm happy with what I've got, though I suppose I'd like to play it again now I'm more experienced, I'm sure I'd get more from it. [attachment=16659:2.JPG] Fourth a 6er Corvette from the states. Same story as last one i suppose, would like to play it again! I do believe that Metaltime has made better use of it than I ever would though! [attachment=16660:DSC00239.JPG] 5th. A Stingray that i got from Metaltime. Love it til death, still one of my main go-to basses. Lovely thing, made me realise that I didn't need more than 4 strings in the end! No longer has the sticker... [attachment=16661:06102007611.jpeg] 6th. What a bass this is. A Zoot Boudica, for sale now though as its way too good for me to justify having- not sure I'd have the balls to gig it! Wonderful, wonderful bass. Sigh. [attachment=16662:IMGP0699.jpg] 7th. Ahem. My.. er... brief foray into fretless. A 1991 Warwick Fortress Lasted 5 days I believe. Not a purchase I'm proud of, had a great sound, love the bart precision pickup, but I really can't get on with flatwounds, they do my nut! Had some... shall we say.. flamboyancy with the headstock [attachment=16663:14052008.jpg] 8th. My most recent beloved, a sterling. Spied this on the bay and just couldn't resist, I've had cravings for a maple neck and a stirling, so with a black on black body it was a no brainer. Nice contrast to the Ray, not sure which I prefer, so don't make me choose! [attachment=16664:36c4_1.JPG] A few family shots at various stages! [attachment=16665:DSC01033.JPG] [attachment=16666:DSC00242.JPG] [attachment=16667:01122008072.jpg] [attachment=16668:01122008076.jpg] Anyone want any more photos, I've got a few of em all apart from the first un, sorry if I've used anyone elses photos and they want em taken down, I will do happily. Comments appreciated [u][b]NEW ADDITIONS!!![/b][/u] Well well well. Teal Ray has now gone the journey to someone else and I'm moving on the Sterling. Fickle aren't I? Here's why: 9th. 1979 Musicman Stingray, pre Ernie Ball. Love, love, love this bass, lovely neck and I'm only just noticing it does has a teensy tiny bit of flame on it near the 9th fret which is something else I've looked for. Immensely playable, showed up the teal Ray so away that went... Have now taken off the pickguard as i wanted all that lovely sunbursty-graininess [attachment=19688:mm_niet_gepoetst.jpg] 10th. As ashamed as i am to say it considering my other current bass, this is now my go-to bass for playability. Warwick Corvette $$. Adore this bass, growl out the hoohaa and a wonderful neck to play on- quite thin but not annoyingly so as the Sterling had started to become. Luverly. [attachment=19689:landofthegiants.jpg] Photo used with no permission whatsoever cos I'm like hardcore and that. Woo. Yeah. Will ask soon, sorry

take it this is a 6 string?

keep with the updates, this is amazing work! Inspiring, but also annoying as now I want a go!

oh wow, what a bass player!
