Could be worse; mine's like a welder's bench. It's so bad I use a Precision to make me look good.

Da iawn, @Ramirez. Very pleased to hear that your brother is back in action after such a serious health problem.

There are where we get the timber for short-scale necks, presumably?

How did I miss this? That's a killer bass, Andy. I love it - but is it any good for metal?

What are you, an amateur? You make them dig the hole first, man. Jeez....

As far as the set-list goes, how about making a card up that can be slipped in a back pocket?

Just choose an appropriately loud outfit; nobody will notice the bass.

Welcome to Basschat, where your every bass-related fantasy will be taken care of.

@MichaelDean, that's a great t-shirt, by the way!

That looks grand; I also agree with you that a great result is easier to get in nitro than in poly.

Wow, that looks gorgeous!

Whoever Roger Walters is there must be a chance that he's less of a bellend than another bloke who plays a bass like that.

The metric system is quite possibly the most beautiful and useful of humankind's creations. The Imperial "system" was fine before accurate measurement was an option but is now as archaic and useful as Betamax.

Tell 'em you haven't used their umlaut so it's okay.

That's a superb picture - I'll bet you're very pleased. What sort of music is she playing?

Wow, this is going to be a real work of art.

It's very heartening to read all of these reasons we have for doing what we do. They're all very personal to us as individuals, yet they also speak to the collective. Man.

Some crackers there; I came late to the Levellers, by way of New Model Army, and really like playing 15 Years. Mate, your band rocks; heavy, moody and laden with pedals. What's not to like about that?!

Mate, with that bass, that pedalboard and those shorts you have officially won at internetting.

Ace! Did you do Fifteen Years? *And don't say "No, it was only an hour-long set"!

What keeps me in the game? I'm aching to get back in the game, to be frank. My last band ended abruptly (and I still thin unnecessarily, but there you go....) and I'm trying hard to chalk it up to experience, learn what I can from the process and get back on the horse. I have a guitarist, but that's it in terms of musicians. I need at least a drummer and a singer, but when they're found I'm really looking forward to getting back in the saddle. I'm never going to be a great (or probably even good) musician, but I don't care too much about that, I just really enjoy gigging and helping people to enjoy themselves.

Yeah, I saw... I can get some roughly "equivalent" Celestion TF1530e for £195 a par, though.

Thanks Bill, that's very good of you indeed - I'll see what I can find in terms of those drivers.
