  3. [quote]#1 Any Dingwall. #2 Sandberg JJ #3 Warwick Thumb. #4 ACG Recurve. #5 (a good example of a) Westfield P copy.[/quote] In a way I've played 4/5 of those! 7 strings Dingwall - very interesting and I'd love to explore one at high volume and for a few months. Played a Sandberg basic Ken Taylor and I was mightily impressed. Had a Warwick Streamer and although it was quality it didn't resonate with me! ACG - nope! Westfield P bass - aye - my school has plenty of these and they're great!

  5. Even split but include a similar fraction for management duties. eg 4 man band - 1/5th each plus 1/5th towards other expenses or a wee pot.
  6. The Dry Cleaner from Des Moines Live by Joni and Jaco The Raven - Stranglers Get Ready - Stax Song - so obvious! Feck - forgot Sir Duke, Do I Do and I Wish by NL Watts and Stevie Wonder....

  8. New pics please! That's a real cracker of a bass!
  9. It's nice to show gratitude.
  10. Initially found this site by accident as I was taking up bass again. Sold a Squier I'd had as a seed fund towards another bass. Bought 2 basses and an amp since from here. Sold both basses at a small loss after improving them to make sure I shifted them on. Look upon it as a 2 month rental or trial period that I would not get at a shop. Still got the amp and have got rid of my craving for a named bass (for now) to gleefully bash my Yamaha BB! I was very cagey over my first sale as I struggled with the trust concept after ebay experiences. Couldn't believe it when the buyer sent cash in a recorded delivery bag! Good site I visit at least 5 times a week if I can to drool over the basses of others. Met 7string too - great guy. Had really good advice from one of those you might suspect of being active commercially but I have never felt as stupid as to buy anything above the odds! Wish I was a commercial trader of basses!
  11. Got a black sparkle version with matching headstock and they are cracking basses! Prefer this one strangely enough!

    Yamaha BBs

    I have the black flake matching headstock BB414 although I would prefer the orange one! Really solid basses and more consistent and versatile than the equivalent fenders.
  13. Good stuff mate - all good but I do love Firth of Fifth! I s that Pino Palladino........on lead guitar?
  14. That is an ideal piece of wood!
  15. Absolute stormer of a bass!

  17. If it's only a back up, buy a Steinberger Spirit and stick it down your trousers beside your ferret.
