Have you got a particular bass in mind Mike?

Ohhhhhh yesssss! A Mensinger Cazpar 4P from that nice Mr Maruszczyk! Fell in love with it as soon as I saw it. Also fits in nicely with my Polish ancestry (my old Dad would be proud).

Just looked it up on the t'internet - very nice...

Have you decided on the full spec yet Mike?

DR Hi-beam short scale 45-105 would suit you I reckon.
Round core, so flexible and easy to play. Decent gauge for a sensible action, great string to string balance also.
Best thing is they sound bloody fabulous! (short scale P bass user here)

Just the standard spec green 4P they've got in stock but with the radius of the top edge sculpted like a Jazz to make it a bit more comfy for my arm to rest on. Trouble is they're quoting delivery times that I can't really live with - especially as the pound is forecast to be even weaker by the time the 2nd 50% payment comes due on completion.

Thanks Miles, I'll give them a try.
