I've got the studio album this track was on, it was her debut I think. That's this w/e's listening sorted then. It's great to have all this in one go - video, notation and tab and it gets me checking out the artists too. There's so much good music on the net now, I get yelled at by my better half for spending way too much time sitting here with my little practice amp, bass in hand trying to get my chops up. Yes, I said 'bass' F'nar! Another winner Mr C. Ta-ta TC[/quote]

Hi F, It's a Imperial. B - E with 130 to 45s on it... Great bass. I tried the E-C thing for a while, but for me my fav stuff is more down the low end ;-) there's a long wait list but you can also check out for 2nd hand ones from the US.... i can give you some names if you're interested? cheers, J [quote name='Faithless' post='864679' date='Jun 11 2010, 08:43 PM']Nice one, matey.. I was curious about your Fodera - could you tell about it a bit more - is it some sort of 'signature' model, how it's strung (E-C?), and stuff..? I'm tempted in buying one..[/quote]
