This is my bitsa, I started off as wanting a cheap jazz ended up with Wizard 84`s, Hipshot bridge, Fender tuners and a John East preamp off Neil Murray! I can honestly say I will never part with it. It needs a better plate though.

I`ll contribute to this thread with my latest addition, Epi T/bird Classic Pro IV with added Hipshot goodness.

We only ever did it once in my last band, at the end of our very last gig, I was actually very humbled by the reaction I got, but I think doing it every gig would have been tiresome and not needed, we werent famous so who needs to know who we are and as for soloing after introductions........give over.
I`ll add Take Thats `Rule the World` it was out when my last dog passed and we had a star named after her (probably not really but I have a certificate) and the lyrics get me thinking about her everytime I hear it cos Im such a softy!
Roto`s customer service is second to none, I emailed them about a problem I had with an E string and they gave me a replacement string F.O.C AND a brand new set of the same type, I had even offered to buy the string from them.
Ive had a Jack and still own a Westone Quantum although its quite a bit modified, i like them, nice and light and since I moved the strap button on my Quantum its very comfortable to play.
Angel Witch by Angel Witch great song which also made them the least successful chart act ever, number 75 for 1 week only! First live band I ever saw as well.
I like the fact that on my right handed basses the strings are on top of the neck whereas if i used a left handed one theyre on the back and sound a bit dull, bit of a design flaw there.
Ive got a white Classic Pro iv thru neck and used to have a Goth Bird, the difference in them to me anyway is night and day, the pups are better being the Gibson ones and the neck profile is far nicer than the chunky bolt on neck, it also balances better probably due to less wood in the neck, ive put a Hipshot Supertone bridge on mine and its just lovverly!
