    Hey Denby Lovely Bass. Are we doing photos of younger men playing old guitars now? This must be '83-84 The Cartoon in Croydon, our regular Friday Gig !!

    Thanks to the replies so far. In the time when these were first released I remember the boutique Bass market was really just starting to blossom. Status, Alembic, Wal, and others all threatened the mass produced status quo (not the band). I always found Vigier to be the most playable out of the case and the sound variety for a gigging musician was fantastic. If you love a P Bass sound then buy one I have no gripe on that count, but if you are looking for more than "set it forget it" these 1980's (now vintage) instruments are great.

      Used to Play Live a lot when I was in the UK, pubs, clubs some studio work for hire.

      Played out a bit in California lots of RnB and Motown stuff.

      Been trapped in my regular job and haven't played much in the last 5 years.

      Ah, time is so often the issue / barrier to the stuff you want to do
      Music is my therapy - I'd say just get out there & see if you can join in a jam somewhere
      You, won't look back, honestly. I didn't play for nearly 25 years! And I'd forgotten how much I enjoyed playing bass
      I wouldn't be without it now :)

      As @Marc S says above "Music is my therapy.." 

      I think that you may find that you are not alone in this belief.
