Update as seen in the Bass Porn thread Warwick Streamer Pro M 4, GK 1001RB II and 2x Aguilar GS112

I then wanted to go back to 4 strings so swapped for a Lakland JO 4 That bass only lasted a week, I really didnt like the neck, so traded for a P Delux At this point I had become really bored with playing so to challenge my self swapped for a 6 string. After a few months I found that if I played for long periods I started to get cramps up my arm, I think due to the extra stretching with the 35" scae neck and 6 string board. So sold this on ebay and have now bought this off Redd ATM I coudnt be happier with the bass, fantastic neck and the first bass I've bought that I didnt need to alter the action to my taste. So thanks to Andy he's a top bloke and I'll keep my eyes peeled for that 5 string thumb!!??

Since I joined BW back in the Pre FBI days I've been through a couple of basses, here are some pics of my Favs. This was the bass I owned when I first joined BW I later saved and bought a Euro LX Then sold the Pro series and bought a Status Energy Convinced I loved the graphite tone I swapped the Euro LX for a Kingbass I then wanted something a bit more old school so the Energy went and I bought probably one of the best P's out there I soon realised that the Kingbass wasnt for me. So swapped it for a lovely Ray I then!!!! wanted a one bass does all, so sold both and bought a new MM Jazz THEN thought I wanted a 5 string so swapped for a Lakland 5501

Guess I'll have to get some cardboard from elsewhere good luck, if you find a source let me know [/quote] TBH the manager in that shop is a complete numpty!!! They have a policy that they will match any like for like price, BUT they wouldnt match a price on a Behringer mixer, Dawsons had it for £40 but the cheapest price he would do it for was £80!!!! I get all my boxes for shipping basses from the music shop in Ormskirk.

My rig hasnt changed for a while. Although I dont have the MM Jazz anymore. And the TRB is up for trade for a 4 string

What 6'er do you have?[/quote] TBH its not unheard of for arachnophobes to buy a tarantula to get over the fear!!! Theres a programme on Sky called phobia and if you watch the Arachnophobia episode, at the end they even get him handling 2!!!! Bass wise Im playing a Yamaha TRb II 6 string, but really need to go back to 4 strings so Im looking for a trade, I have an ad in the classifieds section. Amp wise Im using a GK 1001RB II into a pair of Aguilar 1x12GS, and couldnt be happier with the rig.

I was a long time Bass World member (pre FBI). The last few months have been really busy with other things and this is really the first chance I've had to register. And of course I want to swap my 6 string for a 4 string!! And what has been keeping me away?? Well these little dears. Anyway I may hopefully be able to log in more now, work has settled down a bit.
