Gawd knows! There's loads of new faces found their way on to here. I'm actually a bit miffed at being called a Newbie, just because I found the flipping site at more or less the same time as all the young'uns.

Too much gear? You're a Bass Player-There's no such thing as too much gear, just too small a house to keep it in!

Aye-ye can tell ee's a forriner! Having said that, I played in Morpeth recently, and one of the punters said" Oh, South Shields, you'll be a mackem then?" He gets out of hospital next month!

I still use mine every weekend. With it being active, it really[i] growls[/i] when I need it. Bump for a good'un!

Lots of people swear by them, but all the ones I have tried made me swear AT them! I can get away with the "quirky" look, but the sounds available, (through lots of different amp and speaker combinations) and playability leave a lot to be desired.IMHO. If you feel you MUST have one, I would "bug" the life out of as many Music Shops as will put up with you, until you find one that "does it" for YOU. At the end of the day, it's you that will be playing it, and you're the one you have to keep happy!
