A bit late to the party but I have one of his basses that I bought about 25 years ago in the old Eastbourne Music Exchange. I didn't realise how good it was at the time but I've now discovered that it's pretty high spec for what I paid for it (about £350 I think). Here's some pics of it. I only found out the other day when I changed the pick guard that it has a Bartollini pre-amp. I remember that he also made a friend of mine a custom copy of a Warwick Fortress which was really nice but weighed a tonne!

Just bought my first Warwick from John, in the form of a beautiful 1990 SS1! One very happy customer. Nice and easy transaction and all that malarkey. He even threw in a hard case for free. Thanks John.

Yeah, sad times. Was talking to a mate who was gigging a lot and is going through the same thing, watching them disappear one at a time. Not good.

Ah, more Yeovilites! No, not in a band at present. Saying that, I haven't been in one for about 17 years! How about you?

Ha ha, the good old Regulating Branch eh. You never know, I might know your daughter. I've bumped into a few Reggie's in my time (but always managed to stay on the right side of them luckily). Yeah, I kind of had to put everything I owned into storage in my parents house when I joined up, as I didn't think there would be a lot of space for instruments. I was originally a guitarist as well, so I have a few too many guitars, basses and amps to take on board. Although, ironically, in twelve years I hardly saw any ships. Mainly went to the desert and the Arctic!? Who'd have thought it. Anyway, thanks for the warm welcome. What sort of stuff are you guys into playing? Any more Zender fans?

Hello mate, I'm in Yeovil, so not too far from yourself. I'm from the South East originally but ended up here due to my career choice. Can't grumble though, there's plenty of good cider over this way!

Hi everyone, I'm Jonny. Been playing since the mid nineties which should mean I'm pretty experienced, however, I accidentally took a 15 year break due to joining the navy and starting a family etc. Oops. Anyway, I'm now starting again and trying to get back in the game. I play an active GSP kind of P-bass style thing with a P style and a soap box pickup. Although I'm looking at upgrading soon. Always used to play in rock/indie bands but would love to master jazz and funk really. I'm a bit of a Stuart Zender fan but also like a bit of Jaco. However, I generally listen to all sorts of different things which would take me forever to list. Anyway, it's good to be here and I hope to here from a few of you. Thanks, Jonny
