That's a little too embellished for my tastes, but it all looks to be quality work...

Hi Ian, Any reason why a Hartke cab is not on the list? I had a 3500 and a 410XL and 210XL cabinets that was just fantastic. I would rate the hartke cabs over anything you have listed there from personal experience. The Ampegs I always found quite power hungry and indistinct, the Ashdown a bit midrangy and the GK a little bloated/boxy sounding (all IMHO of course!) ped

Hi mate, To be honest it is a little bit but I am used to it now! My feet are square on the floor and my bass rests on my knee quite nicely but not ideal for long periods. The Stagg one looks good, but might look a bit like an S&M device in my lounge! Cheers ped

Drum stool for me!

Great! Let us know what its like. The body looks really thin, I bet it is very comfortable... Cheers ped

Looks really nice to me - maybe in the £600 ballpark? Let us know if you go for it... ped

I believe that was Snoop Shoddy dogg

To be honest I would probably just blow you away at the bash, public execution stylee. Might buy this cab to put your carcass inside and punt it back on eBay for a tenner ;0) ped

I used to GAS all the time and buy magazines, drool over gear and make lists of my ideal setup etc, and I really enjoyed discussing such things with my friends. Once me and my guitar player went to Tin Pan Alley and spoke about nothing else all day. It was textbook. Since finding 'the one' I GAS after no bass, no amplifier seriously (because of a back problem) and can seriously say anything I do like the look of is merely a passing fancy, a glance of curiosity, rather than anything more serious. I am so happy with my bass now that I have tried and tested it in a variety of situations over a long period of time that when I even imagine putting another instrument through that I ask myself what is the point?! I find going to music shops now a pretty mundane but sometimes necessary part of being a bassist but no longer crave for things in the shop (though there are often lots of lovely basses - I am not being elitist at all) and I very rarely buy the magazines. In a way it is a bit sad because I used to love the 'thrill of the chase' but my wallet is happier and in the long run, so am I..... Cheers ped

You are. the groove seems very sloppy and behind the beat, the fact it is looped makes it even more obvious.

I think the price is completely reasonable, personally!

I remember him from earlier days but we never spoke in person. RIP indeed, sad news. ped

Pah I was expecting more pics!!

Please note my edited post with an additional sensible message added in :0)

Its NEARLY as cool as mine ;0) ...Actually, I never asked... as a man with more than a few basses in his possession, what is it about the Vigier that makes it 'the one'? I am completely sold on mine and confident nothing else will do, but you have a lot more experience and it would be interesting to hear. (Waiting eagerly for you to say 'erm... its a nice colour!) ped

ugh

I covet thy bass :0)

Any time you want to buy me those 'few pints' is fine with me mate - in fact you need to come around and see my new house in Headington. Cheers ped

I have a video of the recording of the album and I am 99% certain he is playing an SR5 in that song but I will watch later and confirm! Cheers ped

I have been recording with some Roland V-drums this weekend and the results are amazing, I much prefer it to the hassle of having to mic up acoustic drums and got sick of them sounding different every time they are played because they are not constantly tuned/kept at the same temp etc etc. The Vdrums were fantastic. Just for making 'notes' we all played into a mixer and out into a laptop with garageband just via the firewire input and the results are on a par with many CDs I have! ped
