I think I'm gonna sell mine TB550A with the "switch" - absolutely immaculate, not a mark on it anywhere! Have been alternating with an Aggie 500 for a while & also trying out a simple little Tone Hammer which seems to partner nicely with a pair of SL's. Personally I think the TF & SL's aren't a great match but it works brilliantly with the DB's

I've got a pair of SL 112's on loan at the moment. Cannot believe how light they are! Haven't had much time to really listen to them at any sort of volume yet though.

Wife is up for it - need to get step-daughter 'buy-in' now Could bring pretty much any bass in my sig - either a clutch of old Fenders or some of the more 'esoteric' stuff like Fodera / Alleva Coppolo / Celinder etc.

Steve is a lovely guy as well - met him a couple of times and been to see him play a solo gig once. I'll admit that I find listening to an entire album of solo bass a bit tough but great to go and watch him live Good teacher too.

Just trying to see if my step-daughter is free that day as she lives just 4 miles away so my wife & I could come up & & she could see her daughter & I could pop over for some bass chatting

Niiiiiice. . .

I just love his playing with Chic - the moment when he comes back in on guitar after the breakdown in the 12" version of Good Times is one of my all time favourite 'moments' in music http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VVnEFalYDzA

Some nice shots of the Atelier in this vid (my favourite track from the last album) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q3v7cXDwUgI

I've bought and sold basses through them & become good friends with Phil the owner. The big advantage for me in selling basses via BassGear is that Phil has quite a few overseas customers & he handles all the international payment & shipping stuff. I think some of my basses have gone to France, Austria, Scandinavia etc. They moved location a few months back & now just 20 minutes from my house which is brilliant - I can't keep away from the place, lol. The new location is right next to Twyford mainline station too if you want to get there by train

I had a lovely Sei J5 for a while - sounded, and played, very differently from a Flamboyant or an Original but a lovely bass nonetheless. Martin is just a great craftsman all round

Anything can happen in the next half hour. . . http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E06cNv55jTs

Interesting. I have a basic 'bug' type wireless I bought for rehearsals & soundchecks but it would be nice to have something really reliable. I'm in at BassGear later this week so will have a chat with Phil about them http://www.bassgear.co.uk/products-page/accessories/stageclix-wireless/stageclix-jack-system/

Realised I don't have many pics of my old '86 Monarch but's here's a couple of samples: Technically not a 'signature' as it was made before Fodera started classifying them as VW sigs

Not sure if this helps but I discovered yesterday that my message notifications had been re-classified as spam by GMail. I marked a couple 'not spam' and it's been fine since then

Vic Wooten Fodera for me - quite partial to the buckeye top models: Of course a 'proper' Vic Sig should be flamed maple: if only they sold one that looked like Vic's original:

I've been coveting Loz's sonic blue Alleva Coppolo LG4 with matching headstock and DN board for a good while

Thanks Trev - great to meet up & natter bikes & basses

Really nice 4 string Flamboyant that sold for just £820. I nearly went for it just because it was such a bargain but I really don't need another bass at the moment!

I've got one I never got round to selling when my RH450 went. PM me if anyone wants a perfect condition hardly used one
