Very jealous - YOB for me too, but very happy for you...she's a true beauty

[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1484674033' post='3217402'] The answer is obvious. It's all in the name. So one of these: [IMG]http://i114.photobucket.com/albums/n249/BigRedX/_86_zpsi4czssjb.jpg[/IMG] [/quote] Arrrggghh - retraumatised

[quote name='mcnach' timestamp='1484281003' post='3214320'] I know you say you don't want a MIM but... their Classic 50 series is really good. And the RoadWorn too. [/quote] Just got a Classic 50's P in a recent trade - I'm totally blown away by it to be honest, possibly the best P to have passed my way to date. The neck is wider than i'd prefer but the thin depth makes it a joy to play with my sausage fingers. I can't believe how great they sound at stock too. To the OP i wouldn't dismiss the newer MIM 'special models' i.e Nates, Roadworn, 50's etc

Was fortunate to support the Ozrics back in the 90's, they're a lovely bunch indeed. Think Zia was the bassist then. RIP the legend that is Roly. If you like Ozrics Bubinga then check out some Gong too, one for the bassists is a tune called Sprinkling of Clouds (ask yourself what time signature)...also Pierre Morlen's Gong are awesome Good to see Joe Hinton from Ozrics the other month rocking out with Gong bassist Mike Howlett & Steffi Shapsyrings on guitar; a band called Sentient...also worth a YouTube look 😎

Got a hankering to try a Peavey Axcelerator bass if anyone's selling? No doubt my umpteenth 5 string Lakland or Yamaha will pass my way again, only be sold until the next 😂

[quote name='Cato' timestamp='1482602788' post='3201823'] I've become slightly obsessed with the bass line on this over the past few days after hearing it played in a shop recently. I can't believe I never noticed how brilliant it is before. http://youtu.be/qR9x7_refwY [/quote] +1...I'm with you dude

Etienne is a top chap, great communications throughout. Bought a Radial Bigshot from him, item was perfect for my needs and Etienne was supportive despite a credit card blunder by my credit card service. Highly recommend and 100% trustworthy Merry Christmas

Bought a pickup from Lozz, he kindly replied to my wanted add. Total gent and a pleasure as always. 100% trustworthy. Merry Christmas

Did a recent bass trade with Lloyd. Totally smooth, honest, no hassles, and great communications throughout. A pleasure to deal with. BC's can deal in confidence. Thanks matey

Met with Pawel in a lovely cottage in Somerset. Did a trade for his Lakland P and all went smoothly as expected. Pawel (and his girlfriend) are lovely people and 100% trustworthy, basschatters can deal in total confidence as he is a total credit to the forum........and true to his word he makes great coffee! Hope we get to deal and/or meet again - all the best from the Family Stone

I've seen familyman playing a Hohner B bass with The Wailers about 10 years ago...as always he sounded sublime. More recently I've seen players playing all types of basses with the Jazz being less popular these days. A good Steinberger does the trick too.

Big fan here! Used to back an artist called Daddy Teacha on bass with The Rooticals, loved replicating his synth bass lines live. Totally love that UK roots vibe. Steve 'Vibronics' is your man for UK roots

Just had recent dealings with John. A 100% pleasure all round and very easy to deal with. His music is very cool too...check it out! Thumbs up from me, deal in confidence as they say

I had the pleasure of watching Mike perform in Steffi Sharpstrings band 'Sentient' last night in a cosy pub venue in Glastonbury. He played along side the amazing Joey Hinton (Ex Ozric Tentacles), Steffi Sharpstrings on guitar (pure genius to say the least) and the formidable Steve Cassidy on drums. What a night! Pure superb indulgent funky space rock and Mike was on top form. He has such an amazing unique groove and is a really nice chap too, really great to watch. He plays a pretty interesting, albeit totally battered, 60's P into an old Orange valve head and it looked like a Trace 4x10" - he really sounded great Viva le Gong! [attachment=231144:IMG_3247.JPG]
