[quote name='KuzBass' timestamp='1340353946' post='1703095'] Very nice bass! I keep my Zoid VM6 which (thanks God!) has not managed to sell when I had difficult period of life. Now another W&T bass is in the process, but not a Zoid, which is my favourite W&T shape (if not to say the only single cut shape I dig)! Congrats! [/quote] Got any pics? I find the body really comfortable. I love the headstock too.

Just a quick update - I haven't forgotten about this section! It should be ready in the next few days. The blog has been built, I have the first article and first writers lined up and my IT person is drinking lots of Pepsi and eating lots of Donuts whilst matching style sheets and the like. Look out for it soon! ped

Hi mate nice to see you Lovely bass. I was blown away with the 'demo' bass I played a couple of years ago. It positively fizzed with sparkle (what?!) Enjoy and let us know how you get on with it ped

[quote name='nick' timestamp='1340278252' post='1702096'] Hi Nemo, Can't help you with your enquiry, but could be a good idea posting it on Onlybass the French bass forum(?). I've always found it to be a Friendly forum.... [/quote] Yeah Onlybass is a cool place! [url="http://forum.onlybass.com/"]http://forum.onlybass.com/[/url]

I'm endorsed (or I endorse?) Vigier. There's no contract but basically I spoke to them when I got my first Vigier and we had some interesting chats about their basses and forthcoming designs. I bought two more vigiers (though privately) and see the 'endorsement' as a mutural respect.. I could get a discount on a new bass, but frankly I am never going to replace my 1988 bass with anything so it's fairly redundant. I guess it's nice to be able to say, but in reality it doesn't mean anything. Perhaps if I went on tour then they would be helpful but I can't see that happening, can you?

Anyway, this is going nowhere and getting personal. Go outside and get some fresh air.

We're all bass players here but there's no doubting there's little better to do with your time than listen to a guitar solo. Especially when you know you can switch it off afterwards and not have to speak to the guitarist. My fave solo ever is by Pink Floyd on the track 'Wearing The Inside Out' - the solo at the end of the track just sounds like the guitar is speaking... whilst I consider some guitarists to make their guitars sing, I've always found Floyd solos are intellectually superior and just so complex and multi layered. I can listen to this solo again and again and never tire of it. I was thinking we should all post a youtube clip of our fave solo with a time stamp to say when the solo begins. Check out 5.10 here: [media]http://youtu.be/5HmfwLvJZIg?t=5m13s[/media] Cheers ped

No probs. Let's see what happens! Enjoy ped

OK now updated - have a play and see what you think folks ped

[quote name='jonthebass' timestamp='1339433105' post='1688407'] Ped, Can any old BassChatter post in the Affiliates forum with a link/info on a deal for all of us others to see. E.g. When I saw the deal from Coda Music over the Jubilee Weekend, are you happy enough for me to post it up in there? I thought the Affiliates forum was for owners of businesses to use, not us general throng... [/quote] Yes I think that's a good idea. It hadn't crossed my mind up until now. I'll change the forum description and perhaps re-name the forum. Cheers

Only if they offer a BC discount. I'll have a tidy up and hopefully clear up any questions this week.

[quote name='Geek99' timestamp='1339417948' post='1688081'] I rarely, if ever, go there, so I dont think that suggestion serves me. Whats wrong with a trader wanting to shift something quickly at a bargainprice ? You can always ignore it if youre not looking. [/quote] Start looking there! That's what the section is for, perhaps it needs cleaning up and making clearer. That's something I have been meaning to do for a while!

Series 3 basses have a 'textbook' amount of relief built into the neck which I too found a little bit too much for me. The bridge (assuming it's a Kahler) doesn't allow for a super low action unless you remove the saddles and file them down a bit. Even then, the relief meant the strings feel a little high for me. Bear in mind my main bass is a series 2 which is totally flat, with a super low action (I'm lazy). Friends all preferred my series 3 but I've never been into the higher feel. The only option would be to have the neck planed by a pro to make it flat. Vigier will be able to help, I recommend emailing Patrice who is very helpful. A good way to see how flat the neck is is to hold the G string at the first or second fret with your index finger and then, with your elbow, fret the same string at one of the last frets. You can then see how far the string is from the fingerboard at around the 7th fret. My series 2 is literally a hair's distance away wheras my series 3 was probably about 2mm. I assume Vigier built this in to cater for the majority who like a little relief Cheers

Just to echo what Kiwi says, we're finding a developer who can work with us on a few key areas including the blog before we can go live with it. Safetiez

[quote name='dave_bass5' timestamp='1338192300' post='1670471'] I also think it makes BC a safer place. Good work all. [/quote] But not London!

Looks like a great meet. Every time members have meets like this I always say how it helps make the forum such a nice place. Well done for organising and I'll hopefully be able to make the next one. Cheers ped

Thanks for the update, see if you can take some pics. Chuffed you won and are living the dream Cheers
