That'll be mine. [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=417&hl=swr"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=417&hl=swr[/url]. Its in storage at the mo while I move house, but will be for sale again as soon as I move in.

Due to hassle of carrying a double bass and an 8x8, the time has finally come for a bit of downsizing! Had tried out the Berg 410 at Club Bass in Toronto a few months ago and absolutely loved it. Now one will hopefully be with me tomorrow. Stay posted for a full review soon!

Hi Mike. Yes, I've got all my gear insured with them. I think electrical instruments go on the power play option. Give them a call and I'm sure they'll sort you out.

One of my favorites is Brad Mahldau's Art of the Trio, vol.3: Songs. Its a sublime album, definitely one the that band's best. Larry Grenadier on bass providing the usual solid bottom end with piles of tone. They also do a great cover of Radiohead's Exit Music for a Film. Well worth checking out if you haven't heard it before.

Allianz Cornhill (formerly British Reserve) is regarded as the best. The vast majority of professional musicians use them, myself included. [url="http://www.allianzmusicalinsurance.co.uk/insureInstruments/insure.htm"]http://www.allianzmusicalinsurance.co.uk/i...ents/insure.htm[/url]

I'll be about from 18th. Should be a great laugh. Haven't done the festival in about 5 years so really looking forward to it. If any of you guys are that way inclined, I'm doing a show at the Pleasance called 'The Last Five Years' which for a musical is actually bloody great. Brilliant tunes and lots of fretless shred (got to learn how to play a fretless in the next week, S**t!). Still got to check out the other listings though.

Apologies to all those NS design users out there, but just couldn't get a sound I liked. I tried various setups and strings (steel and synthetic core) but ended up selling mine after 2 months. I also found that because the fingerboard is flush to the body, there is limited space to put your thumb and then it's quite difficult to get the full weight of your arm into each note.

After posting just a week ago, my korg tuner has now failed due to a broken input jack socket! New cables will be on the way very soon!

Any of the hollow body Azolas, no question! [url="http://www.azola.com"]http://www.azola.com[/url]. Amazing instruments and amazing customer service. Stay well clear of the NS Design. Its a great instrument but in a class of its own. It sounds absolutely nothing like a upright as you know it.

I have a few Monster cables and really rate them. I've heard about them wearing out jack sockets but I've never had a problem and I've been using them for quite a few years now. They're incredibly well put together, very heavy cable and solid jacks. However, there's no way on earth I would buy a monster cable for the money they charge in the UK, daylight robbery or what! I got mine in the US while on tour and they cost me about £20 each (20ft each). To be honest though, if you use high quality cable with quality jacks and connections, they're all the same, and from the reviews OBBM gets, it sounds like he's your man.
