Hey Mark,

Welcome to BC!
Many here are good. I'm not. But I won't hijack your introduction.
Share some wisdom if you please, and some here are also very weak for pictures of original or beautiful gear.

Anyway, enjoy!

best,
bert

Southpaws Of The World, Unite! [/quote]

I'll unite alright, but are lefties with righty gear welcome at all, or is the gear the core of it all? I promise I hate playing righty gear. I [b]hate[/b] it! Does it help if I read both The Guardian and The Class Struggle? Please?

Does [b]this[/b] help?:



Pretty please?

best,
bert

LOL @ "Gauche" in the name

You are always welcome, Bert, even as a Guardian reader - commiserations, it must be one of the most boring papers in the world of English-language media...

I'm actually a Guardian reader. I was being deliberately provocative, as usual.
But now we know you buy the Daily Mail!

Yup. Here in Norway it does. Good paper too, though maybe a bit lefty.

PS
Sorry Mark, for hi-jacking your thread despite our promises before voting day. Consider it like taxing you, and taxing you good!

I thank you on behalf of BC user Gauche, who's gear this is. He's no righty, of course, and I decided to celebrate this glorious bodily capacity by putting his GK through a short MS Paint session. But I do like how the niaG and emuloV retsaM work the correct way on this one.
My own gear is slightly more modest in that it's an Ashdown MAG 300.


I love your VM! A VM or CV Jazz will hopefully be my next bass. Very impressive stuff.
But personally I prefer the Squier version above the Squire.

Lol......i shouldve picked up on that being a mirror image!.....Your ashdown is nice tho, i have an Abm evo 2 500 head at the moment.
And yeah,,,absolutely love my Squier !.....plays soooooo good! Looks great! and sounds great too,,,,,ive seen lots of people sticking new pick ups in, but not really sure if thats even necessary!
