It's those girlie guitar player fingers you've got!
I wish I could mate but I've had quite a few basses through my hands this past year and am left with a few I'd need to part with before I could even entertain 'mates rates'! Unless I could interest you in a MM Bongo 5HH as part exchange (you'd be able to manage a 5 string with spacing like this - it's about the only reason I'm looking rid of it. I've hands like me ole da's!)
It's a pretty rare bird this one. Only 23 like it. It's a Lakland Syline JO, but it's ltd ed in Sherwood Green with matching headstock. It came with an East J-retro pre as standard, but I've it set up all passive at the minute. I don't like taking it out of the house in case something happens to it so I got a 55-01 in the post on Christmas Eve that i'll use for gigging.

I've played a few Moon basses (mostly on trips to The Gallery in Camden) and I've yet to play one I didn't really like!
Good to speak to you![/quote]
What? The Gallery have Moons?! Ive been searching the earth for one and the Gallery is 10mins from my house! I must go tomorrow, I havent been in years since they fitted a Marcus Retro to my MMV.
I dont have a mad desire for the Bongo Im afraid... Ive decided I cant live without the block inlays. Ive just become aware of the Fender Deluxe Jazz FMT, which looks class but is pretty pricey.
If you have any blocky recommendations send em this way!
