Ok everyone 2008 Covers are up Jan to June, July to Dec will follow at an appropriate time Si

I have always liked the Viper basses, and ALMOST bought one once, but decided they only look cool slung low, and seeing as i play my basses quite high, so didn't make the purchase Nice specimen though!! Si

I've just accepted that MOST sound men, not all obviously, haven't a clue as to what they're doing, so the FSOF gigs that we don't have our sound guy at i just concentrate on having a good stage sound so that I'm feeling the gig, thats what matters! Si

Very nice indeed! I'm possibly considering something similar! Si

Well you're very kind Paul I'm enjoying it a lot, it was very weird playing the first FSOF gig without hair the other night! But i like it a lot! Si

Well my Shuker is for sale, check the link in my signature! Its 36" scale so would be much easier for small hands then the standard 42.5" scale of a 3/4 upright On the cheap and nasty (IMO) side of things, i think Stagg have just released a new EUB, probly good if you're just trying out the idea but not gigging etc Si

I've just cut all my hair off!!!! So heres an up to date pic! Apparently i don't look 24 anymore, more like 16....i don't mind that lol Si

I reckon my P-Bass is pretty 80's, all white and everything lol [url="http://imageshack.us"][/url] [url="http://imageshack.us"][/url] Si

Also looks like some dodgy knob/switch mods and thumbrest mods! Also the serial number suggests it's a '77-'78 Si

+6 =686 Si

Little monthly bump Cheers Si

I'm only over in Wycombe Welcome! Si

Ampeg's are made in China now to! Si

I would say 2 £shedloads!! Unless the guy doesn't know what he's got, which might perhaps be the case if its been in the cupboard for 40 years, but that really is to good to be true! Good luck Si

Love my ABM 500 head, have had no problems at all in 4 years heavy gigging! Also use the mini48 and mini15 cabs to great effect! Si

I think regardless of what music school you go to, whether you get a job/audition is down to three things, in this order: 1 - Personality 2 - Networking/connections 3 - Whether you can actually play or not! Obviously if you can't play a note, you're not going to get hired, but i guarantee that you'll get further then if you can play 64th note walking jazz lines...but you're an asshole! I didn't go to any Bass music schools (A-level music thats it....on bass), but i'm gigging a lot more then some really awesome players i know, mostly because i think i'm easy to work with, i talk a lot to people, and i'm not a bad player! Certainly not the best quite obviously. I think it's the same with any art based subject, while you're studying the theory and application, others are out doing it and getting the jobs! I considered enrolling in BassTech a few times, but so many people i know come out of those schools playing/sounding exactly the same, i like where my playing style and sound is going, don't want to stifle that. Having said that, it is healthy to surround yourself with musicians who are better then you, it aids the learning process, what i try to do with all my projects!! Si

I'm back in Colchester from the 23rd till the morning of the 27th, so let me know of any gigs you guys are playing, would love to come along! Si

I have a Precision project that i finished a month ago with a Jazz Neck, i even put a Jazz decal on the headstock. Like you said, its a talking point, and to be honest, its not that rare! Plays fantastic and the neck was a perfect fit for the joint! Si
