Oh yes...YES! Stunningly stunning.

Doug Wilkes is fantastic

As the title suggests, a near pristine used early Ashley Pangborn is currently up for grabs at Bass Direct! These basses are like hens teeth and the price is tempting...

Congratulations Blue. The negative cognitive images that you are conjuring up are sparking a physiological anxiety response...the mind cannot differentiate between that which is real and that which is imaginary. My top tip is to consciously do this; remove all colour from the images - literally make them black and white - then consciously shrink them to the size of a pin head and push them far away into the distance. Now conjure up positive images of you playing beautifully and the crowd thoroughly enjoying the show. Make these images as bright and colourful as possible and fully immersive (seeing the situation through your own eyes). Do this again and again. This should do the trick. The good news is that having read of your previous experiences of playing to what already is a large crowd (1200) the weight of probability and body of evidence suggests that your ability to play well in real terms is unquestionable. The bigger the crowd the better the experience...lots of people to show off to. Enjoy the experience. This is what it's all about...is it not?

Oh no.... My favourite guitarist of all time. I have been a fan since the 80's and had met him. He was a musical genius.

[quote name='blue' timestamp='1492247466' post='3278916'] True, But a lot of people like cool gear. I do. [/quote] As do I Blue... My observation was not a criticism, just an observation.

The unseen but obvious is that the name on the headstock (along with the actual instrument) is of much less importance than the name playing the instrument and making the music...which when you strip everything that we all discuss here back is what it's all about. Making music.

I can now die happy....sigh. Awesome in it's awesomeness...

Very nice job dude, looking great!

Me too

I really like the new range, very cool.

It is active, I believe the preamp is a Kubicki? Sounds good. The body is Poplar with an Ash top (visible through the translucent finish). From what I've been told they were only produced for 2 years in Mexico between 94-96...they flung the kitchen sink at them to prove they could build USA quality basses. Interesting basses and quite highly regarded.

Yup, I have one too. I love it - lovely neck, good weight and very well built. It doesn't sound like your run of the mill P bass...but I love it. £395 is a very fair price imo.

My Wal had the reverse effect...made me think I played worse!

Well done, these are extremely well built and punch above their weight. Great bass!
