    Sold mine, an Aria Pro II SB-R80, in 1987/88, and missed it a lot over the years. :(
    Fast forward to the summer of 2008, when thanks to the Swedish bass forum, I got the chance to buy ot back! :) :)

    Jake Newman (jakenewmanbass on here) does Skype-based 121 lessons I believe. I know of one BC member who's had Skype lessons from Jake to great effect.

    I've had lessons from Jake, he's a truly superb teacher (former Head of Bass at Salford) , and an awe-inspiring player with top flight professional credentials (toured with some of Zappa's band, and many others). He's not expensive either. He's also one of the nicest people you'll ever meet.

    Send him a PM mate.

    Yet another vote for the Bass Gallery. Should be enough there to keep you occupied for quite a bit. Unfortunately I dont do a lot of sight seeing so I cannot recommend any places worth your while. Hope you enjoy.

    Yet another one

    Actually I think that most musicians, if they have started on a chordal instrument- guitar, piano etc, will have learned a lot of songs from chord charts, but someone starting on bass, with a good ear and no interest in learning any theory could easily not need this information. If you have been doing well for 15 years pal you obviously have a good ear and may not need any other help to learn songs etc. Good on you Pal.

    Biggest plus is the weight - coming from a former Trace Elliot owner.....it was a complete revelation!

    If ive ever had problems with a floppy B string ive used Hex Core strings...DR Low Riders are excellent... i tend to buy just the B string Low Rider, then buy a four string set of similar tonal qualities, that are round core.. Low riders do tend to be very stiff, not something im keen on from E to G... but there killer on a B string

    DR Low Rider's also have a fantastic tone, lots of definition..
