Just got this on E'bay battered/roadworn and old, but £175 a bargain I reckon. Will post Pics when I pick up. Any advice regarding a refresh of pre-amp or a suitable replacement would be appreciated.

Hello All. John from Westminster. Been lurking here for a bit with the odd facetious comment. Returnee to Bass after a long hiatus, been playing again for 3yrs. Lefty initially with Squier VM Jazz, but accumulating some 5strs. An ancient but pristine Cort (amazingly good for peanuts money) Sire M2 (love it) 90's Aria Rsb from a German relative (weighs too much but great) and now today off E'bay a battered/roadworn Ken Smith Design Proto J for £175. No more bass purchases, but maybe a better Amp and more practice, graunchy 57 y/old body permitting!

But even moderately priced Sire 5er's have CFR Necks.

Animal Society at the Vortex Thursday night. Jazz Rock and very enjoyable.

Can see that lot tottering around the Stage in powered exo-skeletons!

An old hippy acquaintance of mine organised a Gig with a up & coming band many years ago. Was agreed that they'd given a Bar Tab in payment. Sadly for him it was the Pogues!

And you can illuminate the stage with your"ready-brek kid" impersonation?

Very likely. Does Phil Collins still pay Alimony?

Used to be a drinking buddy of John Martyn's which was probably a dangerous precedent!

No was midweek tired and needed to get home even though I'm only a couple of miles away. As a long time Krantz fan felt enough to have seen him live for the 1st time. Would have loved to see him with Anthony Jackson.

Justice are v interesting. Some massive tracks with some deft Bass

Johansson Johansson & Holdsworth. Heavy Machinery.

Then deep-fried

Best get some Dulcimer Hanmers I reckon

Wayne Krantz at Ronnie Scott's. . Tim Lefebvre on Bass. Jolly good.

Luscious. Congrats. Wish I could afford one.

Love the "Turin Shroud" effect in the lid lining. Have to say it looks rather unappealing to me. How does it sound/play?

Ferrarri Giallo Fly at the risk of being pedantic.

Off to see Wayne Krantz@ Ronnie's tonite. Someone else has paid for Tickets.

Was a story in Guardian on-line @ followed up. Then saw thread here. Might still be young enough to make a toecurling pass at Ms Ryan too a-la slowthai.

No lefties tho - or am I wrong ?

Am loving my 5str - still getting used to wide-ish string spacing but overall amazing for price. Cheers to @whynot from this forum.

Endomorph - Allan Holdsworth "Secrets".

F.W.I.W he's getting lots of the predicted hate ex Daily Heil etc. At least he has something to say. Good to see the general tone of comments here. Grime not my thing really - @ 57 years old I guess I'm not right demographic.
