Does Calum play wind instruments then?


Good luck with the case; I remember the years of MusicMart magazine there was a company that sold all the parts needed for full flight cases. I'd be very interested to see how this goes.

That sounds very interesting, looking forward to some pictures.
Be careful when you take it outside. Remember when the Met shot that bloke carrying a chair leg because they thought it was a sub-machine gun?
I'd hate to hear about the 'Dundee Bazooka Incident'......

I remember that Met case (excuse the pun) Bazooka? its like a bleedin cannon! think I will put wheels either side and call it Mons Meg (CANNON EDINBURGH CASTLE)
Christ! never noticed that typo Ha ha! Good one Big Stu, I just lifted blurb from our web-site, will have to have a word with our web-guy.

Re case, couldn't get a case for bass anywhere, could get on made but they were wanting more than the bass was worth so picked up pipe for nothing, couple tins foam, and hardwear, I'd say about £30 spent. Still tinkering!

PHOTOS SOON
