Newtone do strings to order as well. Could be useful.

[quote]How do you like the 64S?[/quote] It's one great bass Steve. The slimmer neck and vintage style pickups are a real asset. It also has a zero fret. Peter

I met Nick today and without doubt he's a genuine guy. Great bass too Nick, many thanks. Peter

I am one very happy bass bunny: 2005 4003 MG with VTC 2006 4001C64S 'Macca' As of today, thanks to 'Old Horse' Nick 'Murphy' 1999 4001CS 'Chris Squire' Peter

Black, Villex

I sort of thought about having another clearout sale, but didn't actually get around to it. I will try to sell my Les Evans, Zoot Custom fretless 5, Bass collection SB320 and Bongo 5 H/S next year I promise The pile of cases and gigbags in my spare room is ever so impressive. Not on the ceiling yet though. Peter

The 1st bass I tried was a Hohner Jack professional. On a whim I tried it in Manson's in Plymouth and bought it. So that's both questions answered. Why a bass and not a guitar? That's a good question Peter

Coincidence, I've got 14 basses. Sold my R1200GS this year and gave up after 37 yrs of biking. Peter

Is it just me? It seems like there's an awful lot of really nices basses around at the moment at good, and ever reducing prices, and no-one seems interseted I'm not sure what things are like on eBay at the moment, is it the same there? I have several basses that I'd like to put up for sale and I'm waiting for the market to be a little more buoyant. It seems like I've been waiting ages There really are some stunning bargains around though Peter

Thanks Ped. I has a shave and needed a change

Thanks for that Nick. I'll have a think on it. Peter

I've dealt with Nik in the past at least once and I'd say that he's one of the nicest guys I've come across. Peter

Mine hathn't either, and it's still a beauty Peter

It sounds like it's be worth a go Peter

Has anyone tried one of these. I've seen some good reviews of other Exar pedals. [url="http://www.diago.co.uk/effects-pedals/exar-effects/bc-04-bass-compressor.html"]http://www.diago.co.uk/effects-pedals/exar...compressor.html[/url] Peter

Thats sounds like an excellent recommend there Nick. Shame Leyland a little bit too far from Kendal Peter

I don't think that big hands necessarily means you like a fat neck. Obviously not in CS's case anyway. Although I'm pretty sure he has a P too. I've got fairly large paws and love the feel of a slender neck, bass wise too of course Peter

Is the bass set up well? String wise I'd say maybe try some Newtone strings or some DR sunbeams. [url="http://www.newtonestrings.com/"]http://www.newtonestrings.com/[/url] Another possibility would be to fit a Villex Booster unit. Hope you get what you want out of this bass. Peter

I do like it, very much so Dares to be different. Same with his decoration, well cool. Peter

Mega congratulations and have fun with the new songs. What have you got to learn by Weds? Peter
