and don't try to make sweet love to the transformer.
WHATEVER you do, don't get rid of the gear. You will only regret it. I've done that in the past and once you're feeling back into it you'll wish you'll have kept it.
It sounds like you need a break from bass, rather than packing it in, to get your life in order and for things to calm down a bit!

When I mooched today they had 2 fretless uprights but nothing else. I was very disappointed! They seem to have expanded their selection or fad guitars but reduced the amount of basses. There wasn't even one bass I could see with more than 4 strings.
[quote name='arsenic' post='886492' date='Jul 5 2010, 05:24 PM']Just had a look at their website - I can't even see a "contact us" link - though they do have a Face Book page you could leave some feedback on - they even have a discussion about how brilliant they are (in fact they have commented on how friendly they are too)[/quote]
and I thought I'd seen it all...
Worst customer service.. EVER.
Went in to get some fastfret as I was across the road from it on at training course (Mortgage Rescue schemes.... snore...). I went in and mooched around. All of the staff were on the counter looking manic depressive and mumbling incoherently to themselves. Wasn't asked if I needed help or anything (I'm not complaining at that, makes a change to be left in peace!). Eventually went up to the counter and asked for it to be met by the most miserable looking bloke in existence who just went 'Yup' and pointed at the counter. Grabbed it and gave it to a guy to pay who lookd genuinely put out that I had to drag him away from the group of melancholy grumbling mardy arses. The only words he mumbled to me the whole time was 'put your pin in' before slamming my card and receipt down on the counter and walking off. No thank you, no bye, not even a general acknowledgment of my existence.
The bloody fastfret was overpriced too!
Won't be going THERE again!

Hell no.. after I divorced my husband I redecorated the house to suit my tastes. I'm gothy.. hence the red/black I have black doors too! It looks cool

It's absolutely beautiful to play. They're so underrated!!
See sig for details
The Ibanez is soon going to be defretted and be made into a lush fretless... I haven't decided whether to have it lined yet though... hmm.. one step at a time
