Bonjour, Zakman!

Friend of mine bought a Yam on Saturday - You just can't go wrong with 'em.

Welcome to the machine!

Welcome to the machine, Chris.

Show us your pics!

Lovely gear! Welcome aboard.

Glad to see you've stopped lurking!

Sometimes I wonder where the heck I am!

Big handshake to you!

I've had the Marcus for about 18 months, and love it to bits too.[/quote] Oh yes it has! It caused quite a stir to and some of us don't like to mention it. Do a search...

Welcome. Please excuse my smelly friends.

Nice gear you got there. Hello to a fellow Welshman.

Zyder for me purleazze!

I'm currently playing through an Ampeg SVT-450H and SVT-810E cab.[/quote] Soon to be traded and swapped I should think! ;-) Welcome aboard - it's a cozy little world we have here.

Some of us old school ( I hate that phrase) metal!

Mac off! what are you, are Jobsworth?

wilkommen, bienvenue!

The N5 part of the serial number being in a different type face is normal - the necks are made in batches and the date codes are put on then the rest of the serial number later. I had a Jazz that was the same.

[quote name='chris_b' post='135214' date='Feb 6 2008, 06:17 PM']The Fender 5 string Jazz didn't get good reviews so I'm not holding my breath for this one and £1200 would buy you a far better 5 string Lakland, Shuker, Sadowsky Metro etc, etc![/quote] According to Lakland they are doing a US 5 string Bob Glaub this year and if that's a hit they will look at doing a Skyline version. I'd guess that that (Skyline) would come in under £1200 looking at their prices. Lots of ifs and buts and waiting though.

Welcome to BC - hope you enjoy!
