The p bass must have gone as it's only the strat that's left.

It was indeed Vernie Robbins.

I've had my TU-2 and TU-12 for many years and they have never let me down. Great tuners!

I am having to replace my Tascam BT1. I was simply going to get a BT2 and then noticed the GB-10. Has anyone got any thoughts on the pros and cons of these two pieces of kit?

To be fair to iiMusic I have had a pm from the boss of the main branch in Edinburgh who is a basschatter. He made profuse apologies and didn't try to offer any silly excuses. He has also taken steps to rectify the situation with the Aberdeen staff and so hopefully things will improve. So fair play to the guy for taking on board the criticism and doing something about it. I certainly hope things improve as we're a bit short of decent stores up here.

I was in iiMusic in Aberdeen with my son today. He had enquiried about a pedal a few weeks ago and they said they would phone him when they got it in. No phone call since so you can imagine his surprise when he saw the pedal in the shop today. However, still wanting to support his local shop he asked to try out the pedal. The shop guy said he couldn't as a guy was about to play an acoustic set in the shop. So here we are in a holiday weekend with the city heaving with folk - a retailers paradise. But this shop chooses to be a venue in the middle of the afternoon. Do they want to sell or not? I wonder when the 'closing down' sign will appear in the window. Needless to say the online route is now being considered.

Have a look at the the article below. I don't know however how big an instrument is allowed. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/aviation/9662516/Musicians-have-won-a-major-victory-over-airlines.html

I have also played a Hagstrom HB-4 which was very nice and well worth a look. [/quote] I notice that there is currently a Hagstrom HB-4 in the for sale pages. I know that it is a bit out of your range but it is well worth considering and making an offer. These basses are just short of £500 brand new. http://basschat.co.uk/topic/227846-price-drop-l280-hagstrom-hb4-34-length/

Sei Bass it is. Nice one Lefty. Many thanks to all who have contributed.

I am just loving my newly acquired USA JB-2. Here she is in all her glory.

I have just received this luscious G&L USA JB-2. The flame maple top is just marvellous. It also plays and sounds superb.

Unfortunately Wizard are no longer in business so it's either the Wilkinsons or no doubt there will be plenty more bits of advice to follow.

I'm trying to find out what bass the guy with Morcheeba is playing. He appears with the bass briefly at about 1:18 into the clip. I can't read the name on the headstock but thought someone here would recognise the bass. Thanks! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XwFoVdNCmDU

I remember them on 'Later with Jools Holland' when they played 'Part of the process'. I loved it and often go back to the youtube when I need to chill. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XwFoVdNCmDU
