Hi there, Realised that I'd been posting here and there over the course of the summer but never actually introduced myself. My name's Mark, I've been playing for 6 or 7 years now, started off playing at church/youth group and various bands and for the last 3 years I've played in a 150-200 strong gospel choir. I played a Geddy Lee Jazz for the entirety of those three years, and recently acquired bassjamm's Smith which is proving to be instrumental (no pun intended) in helping me open up and find my own voice. I have several other basses and instruments but the other basses get no playing time and are being sold off at nomimal prices to friends in need of instruments, and as such i will refrain from listing. GAS list comprises of a Schroeder 1210R and a suitable head, though having never had my own rig means I have no clue as to what is suitable so if you're reading this and have some suggestions for a head capable of powering an 850watt rated cab, let me know! I have recently moved to Nottingham and am not at present involved in any musical endeavours here though I'm striving to change that. Thanks for reading and I'll see you on the forums! Mark

I've actually just been down to camden and had mr petersen do a complete set up and make a ramp from that same block of ebony on this Smith I bought from bassjamm. If you're after the pics I'd be happy to put some samples up (though I'm on the road for the next few days so it may be a few days before they're up). As a quick plug for the gallery (not that it needs it) they had it on Tuesday lunchtime and it was done when I popped by on Thursday lunchtime, how obscenely quick is that?! It is an extremely well executed job and fits the bass perfectly, it looks like the bass was designed and built with it. My proverbial hat is off to the guys at the gallery for such fast and professional work. Oh and the bass and ramp together play beautifully, you all missed out on a great bass, but hey! your loss is my gain
