Well....i haven't even plugged it in yet, but i love it already. Been a long time Billy Sheehan fan, and saw this for sale. Couldn't resist it, so grabbed it for a decent price inc case. Was signed by Billy in 2005 when he visited the Rotosound factory. Condition wise it's great, restrung it last night (in the sweltering heat!) and had a quick noodle earlier (without amp). neck feels great and can;t wait to give it a full on blast at the weekend. Sorry for dodgy pic :-) Plan is to do nothing to it (at the moment.....) - I could change the pickups, add a D-Tuner, get the dusty end scalloped etc, but would there be any point? Anyway, thought i'd let you all know! Cheers Graeme ps... Roll on September for Mr Big playing in London

Mind you, they're giving stuff away free, look [url="http://www.wizardguitars.com/BassGuitars.php?product=1567&action=moreinfo&offset=0"]http://www.wizardguitars.com/BassGuitars.p...fo&offset=0[/url]

If i could change bass every song, i would! #clayton

Looks great onstage at Glasto.

Sounds great mate, enjoy!

Looks nice - the low 'B' nice and clear?

Current Warwick has 24 and have got used to them being there now, but not worried that going back to 20/21 as don't really use them too much (except for the odd Wooten tap!) Happy Bassing Graeme

Any plans to modify it (pups/bridge etc?) Just curious! :-) Graeme

Great for certain types of music, but i sold mine (Roadie 2A) as it lacked the right sound for my bands (rock/blues etc). It was a great bass and played like butter - I bought it (and my Status Kingbass) during my L42 phase (a band that i'm still very fond of) - echo the fact that John is a super guy. I miss the looks and playability, but not the sound. If i was playing funky/soul etc - i'd have another one tomorrow. Cheers Graeme

Ignoring the price, i like it.

Def give the Squier CV basses a shot - i miss mine.....

Just about to head back to P bass ownership myself - for the very same reason - simplicity and placement in the mix. Gigged my Warwick Corvette at the weekend and although sounded great, i miss the P bass tone for the rock and 70's numbers. Good stuff.

I'd avoid a Jimny too....great car, but you may need to take up the violin.

I had an X-Trail for a while and found it very spacious, although never tried a DB in it though!

Thanks Rev.

Thanks guys for your responses - I'll start my listening. I've bought aPalatino upright so can't wait for it's delivery.....

Ok, new to the upright thing - who should i be listening to to get a feel for the instrument? (awaiting an EUB any day now). I'm looking at incorporating it in my covers band set on some tunes (bluesy/rocky set with the usual wedding tunes in it :-) ) Thanks guys and gals Graeme
