Hi Cathal, welcome to the club!

Aye, that's right. Here is a pic of it without that smelly girl in the way: Lovely bass and a bit unique. Capable of a range of sounds from traditional 'mwah' to full on slap. It makes a good pair with the fretted. Only thing is I want to change out the pickups because they are noisy when soloed and change the bridge for the Schaller 3d used on the fretted so I can get a Roland pickup on there, too (the Kahler on there at the moment fills the small gap needed between the bridge and back pickup). I will get round to it at some point, but it is still wonderful to play as it is. Cheers ped

You look stunning mate, what ya doing tonight? x Incidentally, the orange flower is known in the trade as `crocosmia', part of the same family as the gladioli/irises![/quote] Lovely stuff, thanks - have updated the pics title. Tonight? Just sitting down and looking at a wall for a bit

I can't get the shutter speed fast enough to capture your blisteringly fast playing. Remember we tried that one time and the carpet set on fire? Or were we doing something else? Can't remember...

Hehe She's playing the Epiphone ET-180 or something - a little short scale bass which I will have up for sale soon. Tayste has one, too. Cheers ped

I think they are the Zon equivalent of my own fave bass... would love to try one and compare... eBay you say? ;0)

Love the Legacy... lovely

Great bass and obviously one you feel really 'at home' on because of the time you have spent working with it. It looks very tactile and funky. I would love to try one! ped

Just let me have a go on that soon!

Lovely lovely lovely lovely!

What I like is the consistency. Vigier have a very clever system where the graphite neck in half neck-thru so it stops just before the pickups. I think the key to a good graphite neck is first of all stability (not all I have tried or owned have been straight and I can't stand much neck relief) and the body wood character is even more critical than with a wooden neck, IME. Get the right wood on the right neck and the two resonate and work together beautifully. There is no single best way of doing it and there are many good and bad necks, graphite or otherwise, and I think the neck itself is merely a part of the whole picture. As a sum of its parts, a graphite neck will enhance (or spoil) a bass depending on a whole host of other factors. Cheers ped

Wow. I hope someone took photos... it must have been quite a sight.[/quote]

Last one looks photoshopped, somehow?

Fairly random one Dunno what I was trying to do here TBH

Oh yeah, that too!

IME you won't notice much difference in the volume between a single 8 or 4 ohm cab. I could be wrong though, but I have never noticed any difference....

Marleaux

If you call up Mr. East you could try his outboard Jretro (possibly he has the ACG too) with your very own bass. He is based near Oxford just on the M40.
