  1. Nah, common as muck mate Mine is in the custom-order-only finish 'Strawberry Red' which I suppose might make it rare-ish?
  2. Oh man, MAJOR jealousy from me. I would love to get my hands on one of those.
  3. I play 5s almost exclusively these days, although I occasionally pick up a 4 and find no difficulty in swapping between the two. I'm going to be using a 4 a lot more in the future, as I've got a new project for which I'll be using a 4 string fretless. But everything else will be on the 5s.
  4. Mark King's solo albums, Influences and One Man. His drumming on Influences is ridiculously good. And the One Man songs are refreshing for their total lack of bass pyrotechnics.
  5. #4 is the only one that would float my boat. Trios are great fun and I like to sing plus of course the money only has to split three ways (as opposed to 13 with my current band...)
  6. Yeah you're right. I hang my head in shame for expressing an opinion. I also take back my comments on Andie Macdowell, as I'm not an actor.
  7. Just watched his youtube clip. Pretty dreadful 3 minutes and 41 seconds I'm not getting back. But I suppose it gave him the 'view' he wanted.
  8. I would go, but unfortunately I simply cannot be ársed.
  9. As long as it plays, looks and sounds how you want it to, no I don't think it really matters two hoots. Doesn't matter if it's a Stagg or a Fodera, a Behringer or an Aguilar.
  10. I find quite the opposite. Playing through cans really magnifies even the slightest errors and makes me realise how unpolished I am.
  11. Ooh lots of yummy wood. Lovely minimalist approach, and a real respect for the materials. I will watch this with interest. But not the headstock...
  12. I love this bass. The drop tuning arrangement is brilliant.
  13. Look, I've just got podgy bones, ok?
  14. Here's my reason for unreservedly recommending Jon's work.
  15. I know how that feels bro. At one time and in desperate straits, I was a mouse-click away from putting my beloved Wal up for sale. Thank god we never did it, eh?
  16. Oh my god, how bad was that film? My then-GF and I went to see it, people were walking out left right and centre but we just had to stay to see if it got any worse. Remarkably, it did.
  17. 100% convinced that Jon will be as upset and horrified as you, that such an awful thing has befallen one of his artworks. I'm sure he'll see you right.
  18. I honestly don't think the Sire headstock is any worse than this.
  19. Witters used to have a really nice Fenix P-J bass. He offered it to me when he sold it, and like an idiot I declined... what an utter berk I am.
  20. Nah thanks. I've had my share of 100lb amps. My back loves my 4lb Shuttle and so do I
  21. Yes. Our drummer has the Gigster and reckons it has revolutionised his playing. He hardly ever asks for any kick in his drum fill these days, he gets it all via his butt.
  22. I de-glossed the back of the neck on my 1st gen V7 with a pan scrub. Half an hour's work, hey presto, nice satin neck. And agreed re: tuners, they were the only Achilles' heel on my bass too. Upgraded to Hipshots.
  23. There's nothing flash about this one, just a woman walking along a street with bits of lives happening around her. But i love it. And so did the Verve, it would seem
