It'll be similar to mine, then. Mine's late 1990's and it's a beast.

It's not for sale, but if you still need one I'm happy to lend it to you in the medium/long term.

My main regret about not playing guitar any more is that my Sheraton just lives under my bad, waiting.

Maybe this should become a BC tradition - everyone with an Elf gets a turn at putting it somewhere odd in December and posts a picture. Hang on, this is BC - visits to A+E would become commonplace, so maybe scratch that idea!

I think for me it's a bass that costs more than it's worth to me in practical terms. I'm not a fancy player, and I like good, solid, un-showy workman-like tools (not just in the bass sphere, in life generally). I don't have a lot of disposable income so I tend to choose my purchases carefully. My main basses are both Fender Player P's, and I think they're a lot of bass for the money. Therefore, I'd say that an American Original P would be what I'd say was expensive, as, nice as they are, they wouldn't offer a significant improvement in my hands, however much I might like one.

Very sorry to hear that your father's not well, sir. A lovely gesture.

Does it make a Bass IV good for metal?

This is genius; soulful, beautiful, funny and sad.

Mate, that's fantastic! Really good news to hear of a dedicated live music venue getting going.

Agreed 100% - when I watch a gear demo I want to hear what the instrument/pedal/amp does and sounds like, not how fast and pointlessly the reviewer can play. A word which is sadly underused in this day and age.
