To avoid being lynched, I shall remain quiet about being a guitarist... I do however play bass too and have done for as long as I've been playing guitar. I'm a firm Music Man Stingray fan, especially pre-ernie balls, but do appreciate a fine bass any day of the week. You Sei players... (having a buddy with two) are about as anal as it gets! *runs* Bass gear I've owned over the years: Musicman Stingray '98 Fretless honeyburst Musicman Stingray '98 Teal Musicman Stingray-5 '98 Black Gibson Thunderbird '79 black (had a Baddass bridge fitted) Fender Precision '63 body, '76 Fretless neck custom J & P pickups (was ex Mo Foster, apparently!) Fender Squier JV Precision '82 3-tone sunburst (Fender logo) Fender Squier JV Precision '83 Fiesta Red/nicely faded to salmon pink! Ibanez Saber Custom, natural mahogany THIN body with Sheehan style Dimarzio in neck Ibanez SR1500 '93 custom Maple body, wenge/bubinga neck Ibanez Roadbass '89 (pointy and metallic pink, woot!)

Dream basses to own: Musicman Cutluss and a Modulus Quantum 5 I'm sure you elitist types will be scoffing at my poor ol list lol Top 10 favourite bass players: Tony Franklin Marco Mendoza Jaco (obviously) Pino Paladino Billy Sheehan Marcel Jacob Michael Manring Glenn Hughes (much overlooked as a bassist) Lee Pomeroy (old pal who had a big impact on my playing and the finest bassist on the planet, in my opinion!) Stanley Clarke/Mark King joint 10th. OK, enough about all that, just leaves me to sa Hello!

Rock, 5-string and/or fretless a bonus. "An" image preferable. Pro gear, own transport and humour essential. [email protected]
