Is it weird that although I don't have a clue what Bill and Alex are on about, I still enjoy reading it? [size=4] [/size]

Yes I bought my Gibson melody maker flying V from them for an insanely low price. It arrived quickly and was well packaged. I would have no problem buying from them again. But do try the price match thing [size=4] [/size]

bootsy666 can you post a pic with your bass against the cab, to provide some perspective? Ta.

[quote name='Mykesbass' timestamp='1428067982' post='2737699'] That's brilliant - could make some money on the replica shirt sales! [/quote] Didn't Wet Wet Wet once sponsor a local team? I know whose name I'd rather have on my footy top :-)

[quote name='geoham' timestamp='1427640104' post='2732558'] We're not exactly the youngest band. I'd probably have been a million times keener if I was ten or fifteen years younger minus the wife, kids and job! I'm 33 and the band range from 28 to 44.

Seems simple enough with a pick, but I'm a finger player so currently finding it a bit challenging.

Another possible option, is to use a Hipshot X tender, like wot I do. It means I play a 4 string, but there are only 3 notes I don't have that a 5er does.

2 things. Seeing Nikki Sixx running around, posing and throwing shapes. Being able to better transfer classical guitar technique to bass rather than electric guitar.

[quote name='jazzyvee' timestamp='1427035787' post='2724908'] I spoke to a guitarist a few years back who had one of these. [url="http://www.backaxe.com/gtr.html"]http://www.backaxe.com/gtr.html[/url] The company may have a bass version. [/quote] That's the kind of thing. I wonder if an Army surplus store would have something similar and cheaper?

Do they exist? Maybe some kind of harness arrangement? Has anyone done it so you can sling your hardcase over your back?

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1426180906' post='2715371'] Save money and kill two birds with one stone by eating a KFC, then without wiping your hands, play the bass. Feels about the same and is just as attractive, IME. Horrible stuff. [/quote] If it was good enough for Jaco...
