Yeah, more than you'll ever know :-)

was delivered at 9:15 today! .... and I'm stil in work! Tony

EBS session 60, anyone used one Thinking of getting one for use as a portable amp for acoustic gigs and just general practice at my place Mix of fours string fretted and fretless basses, few effects etc opinions? Tony

Yeah, I still want a JM4, but I wanted to replace my P-bass with something, so put what I thought was a low bid on this and won it! Tony

The buyer will be good for this I'm afraid! Tony

nice bass, attention to detail is amazing! Tony

A few sei basses have graced my hands! Nice bass this, superb craftsmanship, went in favour of a solid colour This was and is a nice, bass, made for Paul Turner! Last five I owned before going back to four

Here's a few jazzes and a T-bass that passed thru, briefly! MIJ 70's reisuue! and a Fender deluxe jazz, that did a few gigs with me a while back, nice bass, but I don't do sunburst (or nice woods, just solid colours these days) Had a T-bass 5 for a while, great bass, but these need to have four strings IMHO lol

Got a fair few images on my server, gonna start with the fretless bunch First up is a nice bass collection five I owned a few years back, I forget where it was made, but one of the better jap' builders from what I recall The came a Pedulla buzz, THE fretless, but it really didn't suit the band I play in! I willown another of these at some point in my life I changed to a more trad' look with the aquisition of a GL2500, but fives were just not needed anymore, so this went in favour of a Jazz, the LPB in the first post A brief visitor was this Iceni funkmeister, cracking bass, but with a marriage that had fell apart and a much needed break in Kos looming, I needed to get some $$ back in!

Been meaning to do this for while, so here goes! Got loads of photo's of what came before this lot, will add them later First up is my Musicman Stingray, 2005 Ltd edition, the tasty bettercream job! This is my manin gigging bass, currently running a John East pre This is the second time I have owned this bass! I had it when I joined the band I am in right now, but was playing 5 string at the time, so it went to fund other gear for the new gig I had. Eventually I switched back to 4 string with the band as there was no need for the extra string. I played a jazz for a while, but had GAS for a 'ray, especially one of these. Fortunatley, the guy who I sold this too no longer required it, so a deal was done! Suits my band sound and style and sounds great through my Matamp rig Next up is my seafoam green jazz. This si currently up for sale as the 'ray is my main bass right now Came from the US, wanted either a seafoam or sonic blue, took a lot of searching to find one. I really like the 70's styling with the blocks. Cool bass and great to play But it ain't getting playing and I want to try some new sounds in the band Next up is my Fender deluxe fretless jazz in lake Placid blue Just had a badass III bridge fitted I play fretless on a few tracks with my band, I unashamedly play lined fretless, can't be arsed making the switch to unlined This will be going soon, I love playing it, sounds great, but I have GAS for the MM style fretless sound A recent aquisition, Lakland hollow body fretless, in a nice red, christened "the trace bass" My band can do most of our set acoustic, so I wanted something like this for that reason. But I also wanted to do the acoustic stuff fretless and this came up, 34" scale as well! Sounds great, fretboard is like glass! Just bought a Markbass booster pedal for it, so I can use the vintage speaker filter, I like that on fretless! So the markbass pedal and a tuner will be all I need with this for acoustic gigs (and a small combo) Last of the current crop is a jap' Fender P! fitted with wizard p/ups and finished in photoflame! Not my first choice of P, but it serves a purpose. It's got some weird marks on it from an incident a few years back. Gonna change this at some point, I want a black or white P with RW board I got hold of this for a specific reason! Sometimes we have Aziz Ibrahim do a guest slot with us, he will do two of the songs he wrote with Ian Brown, My Star and Corpses. So this gets used for My Star as it is played on a bass that is detuned a full tone, and the sound of a P suits it More to come I guess, got some GAS going on right now! I'll also start adding some visitors from the last few years, there has been a lot!!! Tony

Great player Did a gig in brixton last year and simon Bartholemew played guitar, what a nice guy had a good long chat with him after our set! T

Be cool to hold a groove down under Nile Rodgers' chops! John Frusc' and Hendrix! Tony
