Hey mate sorry I missed you on MSN the other day - love the look of the fretless... let us know how you get on with it. Love the transparent 'guard.

Nearly bought a Crews Jackson 5 (hehe) fretless a while back. Stunning see through blue, it was. Lovely.

Sounds excellent. Really digging it.

Can I get on the list too please? Interested to try it with my poweramp. I am in Oxford and probably only need it for a day or so! Cheers ped

Hi mate When i had Ableton I downloaded the Reason Demo just to try setting up VSTs in the programme. The demo limits you to 20 mins but more than enough if you know what you want and how to get it. Give it a shot! ped

Are you Mike Patton?

Makes me sweat just imagining it!

Maybe some foo' could bung the data in a spreadsheet and make all kinds of entertaining 3D charts with the data!! maybe we should each measure our highest and lowest strings to get a better overall picture? Or is that getting complicated!! ped

Yeah so was I - actually my low D string is visibly higher than the rest - if we were talking the high D and G it would be far lower (like the popping strings as low as possible) G string is a shade over 1mm at the 17th... Cheers ped

If you are ever near Oxford you are welcome to come and have ago on mine!

Just a bit of fun, probably?

Cool video, I liked the sound of the Bergs the best, at least on the video. Thanks for posting it - I hope I can try out some combinations at the October bash. ped

Cheers, yeah the bass is probably made of the same sort of firewood as the floor!

Here we are!! Three plebs and our tortured instruments!

[quote name='TATTOODEVIL' post='563304' date='Aug 8 2009, 08:55 AM']No pics of me playing bass yet as I only got it yesterday. Here's an old one of me in my kickboxing days....... I look the same now, just less teeth and more tattoos [/quote] Potential moderator material, I reckon!!

That's exactly how I plan on getting your Arpege, Nick (and not the £40,000 part) ...See you at the bash *evil laugh*

I have, at the Bass gallery in London Town. I THINK it was the carbine, not sure about the '6' bit. Unfortunately I was playing an unfamiliar bass through a Schroeder 4x10 I think so couldn't really comment - but get yourself there if you want to give it a go.

Ah you missed a white one on eBay fairly recently. I will keep my eyes peeled for you. There might be one on the Vigier forum for sale but I haven't asked weather it had sold. I also have a fretless, series III, but I am finding I hardly play it any more, despite it being probably my main recording bas for a while. Like you I think the magic lies in the full graphite necks, mainly because I like the dead straight profile. Cheers ped
