Hi all! What an impressive site very taken with how well ourganised it all is!! A little bit about me... Been aroung Basses for forty odd years, started with an old Hofner violin being a lefty it converted well and it filled my early teens. Through the years I traded and eventually ended up with Hagstroms, Fenders and now a L/H Steinberger which is now going to be part of a home studio which will entertain and amuse me no doubt! I've recently sold an 80's L/H Fender Precision Bass which was modified by my old friend Ashley Pangborn. Before the days of Ian Middleton and the Tooting Workshop I founded the original Ashley Pangborn Guitatrs Ltd along with Ashley.Firstly, it was based at Whomes Pianos in Croydon where for a couple of years the company made and repaired. Ashley had big plans and made his first aluminuim fingerboard bass here, we decided to move to Redhill in Surrey to Music and Entertainment where the forerunners of his his most well known ranges were built. After an bad illness I decided to leave the the company and Ashley moved the business to Tooting. Sadly I lost touch with him but if anyone knows how I could get in touch with him I would very much like to know. nowerdays I hand out with Steve Baker at Electric Ladyland Guitars in Bristol this is the home of rare and vintage basses in the South West woth a visit where you can play and buy basses that you might dream about! Well thats about it if any does know if the information I seek I would be much obliged ... Cheers!
