Here's my pride and joys: a Washburn Bootsy Collins Space Bass Ltd Edition No.8 and a Warwick Corvette $$ UK Ltd Edition Custom Shop No. 4, plus a couple of Chunk Systems pedals...

No, I've never dared to gig it, I really just play for fun. What type of Space Bass have you got? they're really hard to get hold of these days.

Let's not forget that sexy looking Warwick there I'm a sucker for that top wood

I've got a custom built 5 pick-up left handed monster. I did enquire about the Washburn, "...Lefthanded ?" they laughed.

I like to take it out for usually the most inappropriate gigs.

[/quote] Cheers - I'm equally as proud of my Warwick, they make some beautiful looking & sounding basses. That's a very nice Peavey Grind too if I'm not mistaken in your Avatar. I've never been brave enough to try a six string.

Yep it is! I love Peaveys way too much... My first bass was a Peavey, and now I own 3 of them and nothing else

6 string basses are actually easiest to play on, once you get used to the size of the neck and the usually tighter string spacing. You don't have to move up and down the neck nearly as much... Plus a lot of the time people will think you're a decent player without even having to hear you

Wow, that is one fine looking Space Bass. I've [u]never[/u] seen a lefthanded one anywhere before, and FIVE pick-ups!! that must sound like an absolute monster. Bet you get some looks when you play that at gigs!
