Thanks Itu but Eventide are not cheap, and for what appears to be a dry solder joint in the PSU input area. AJ: yeah, I've used Martin Owen before - he's good. Wasn't sure if he was still in business as it was quite some time ago. I think I'll pass that recommendation onto my buddy. Thanks.

Not sure but if you're stuck you can usually find a European (EU) supplier (cheap postage/quick delivery and no customs charges) via the manufacturers website.

Love Patton - Bungle remain my favorite band of all time. Gould was a huge influence during my formative bass years. I had that Aria for my first bass too!

Anyone? I told my guitarist friend that the good folk of BC would help us out - don't let me down!

I was about to post about said rectum. "Lets play Tool with tools". What a %$^ing muppet. Gets loads of hits though. Also, I don't like his face.

Cliff Burton. I had discovered Metallica and was genuinely obsessed with them (as teens do). He was the reason I wanted to play the bass. He'd actually been dead a couple of years but I didn't buy Kerrang and there was no internet so I had no idea he was gone. I was genuinely gutted when I heard. Its strange looking back, I was genuinely affected but didn't even know the guy.

My friends Timefactor is on the fritz. Can anyone recommend a reputable repairer in the Merseyside/Manchester area?

I love these bases and would like to try one out some day - but they're not all that common. How do you find the neck? I read that Sheehan likes thick necks? I like skinny necks which has put me off getting one.

Such a gorgeous bass! You must be well chuffed.

I've been using PJB's like yours, Silvia, and really like them for my bass. However they sound a bit crap on my digital piano so I've recently bought a pair of Beyer Dynamics DT770. Well better than the PJB's for music in general, they appear a lot more robust than the rather flimsey-feeling PJB's, and lastly they are just as good with the bass as the PJB's. Allround a much superior headphone in every respect - and only slightly dearer. I got the 80ohm version.

I enjoyed that, well explained and a nice choice of riffs. Makes me want one. Thanks for posting.

Man, I love these mustangs with the go faster stripes - they look sick! If they still made them that way I don't think I could resist!

Sweet bass!

Lovely looking bass!

I've not seen a vintage Mustang priced that highly before...but then again I've not seen one that old for sale either so it could be a fair price. If you like the bass but not the price why not contact the shop and haggle? You never know.

Wow - I had no idea Fender made such a bass. Seems a bit 'out there' by their ultra conservative stance, but then again - it was the 80's.

I have a Line 6 M13. How does the new Helix range compare - anyone have experience of both? I'm aware of the amp sim function on the Helix, but are the actual effects a step up from the M series? Or is there improved functionality?
