P. O. G?

Yup.. I read all the above.. Thanks for the input. The side slinging option is interesting.. I don't know why I play better when I can see all the strings from the top. When practicing sitting down with the bass on my knee things go so much better. As soon as I stand up and loose sight of the strings I can miss notes.

I have a problem with the beer gut. When I stand and play, the gut causes the bass to find a position where I can't see the fretboard. I could shorten the strap and play with the bass hanging under my chin but that is not the aesthetic that I am after. Apart from loosing weight, is there a solution to this? A fancy strap or something? Or a girdle...

I have one of these. Excellent piece of kit.

The letter 'S' of my Sandberg decal had gone missing from my headstock. Having not being able to find another one on the official webstore I contacted them to ascertain as to where I could buy a replacement. They sent me one in the post free of charge. Ta Chaps..

I prefer the mk1 California shape personally.

My new to me VT5.

I received my dream bass from Martyn. Paid via bank transfer prior to delivery due to his feedback reputation. I forgot about the extra bank holidays due to the Queens extended throne sit, but Martyn went the extra mile to post it immediately so that I received it prior to the postal disruption. Most pleased! Thanks again Martyn.
