Hi Mate, I wasn't being sarcastic at all, although I can see how you might think so. I am actually grateful for the input. Cheers Stuart

I bow to your knowledge my friend, and thank you for putting me right. Cheers Stuart

It is interesting what you say, and you may well be right but I have had a Pro II and moved it on as it wasn't a patch on this one, the neck on the proII i had looked like maple and the neck profile wasn't as good, this one is a darker wood and needs waxing. This is a far better quality than the II I had, so I really don't know what to think.

My main bass is a warwick Dolphin Pro 1, in a painted black/red finish (see my acatar), it has a bolt on neck and two J pickups. It has one of the thinnest Warwick necks I have ever played and has a fabulous growl. I have never seen another one like it with that configuration. Does anyone know anything more about this. It isn't the Japanese Series 2, it is a German made pukka Warwick, and I was once told it was a special order and quite pricey. Any info would be gratefully recieved

Won't get fooled again - The Who

I am almost speechless, how can they re-hash the Entwhistle bass so blatantly and award it to Adam Clayton, this is almost spitting on John's grave in the name of commercialism. What next, The Bill Wyman signature Hofner violin bass?

I'll get my coat.... Great playing, loving your slap video, which is amazing as I don't actually like slap!

I use badges for bands and they are excellent and quick

fretless too, good point.

1) Become comfortable with 5 string. 2) Learn the Saxophone. 3) Improve my singing harmonies. 4) Restrict myself to 3 groupies (I wish)

Have pm'd you

This one tickled me in a description... [i]fretless jazz bass mex, useing in my indy band got to sell to play off student det[/i] If I was him I would be asking for my money back!

Wow, great answers guys. And yes it is the same Sabre, and it is fantastic which has inspired me to push on with the 5. I want to be able to change between 4's and 5's without worrying, I can pick up a 5 now and play it, but I am sort of treating it as a 4 with an extra string instead of the whole entity approach, which I know is wrong. Also I realise you can't just drop these lower 'bomb' notes in as they do tend to be quite noticable, so I must stay in context of the song of course. I agree, it is probably one of those, practise is everything scenarios, just as when I was learning backing vocals and playing bass together, thought I'd never crack that, now it is second nature. Thanks all and keep it coming. Cheers and Merry Christmas Stuart
