It's not you, it's me.

So having joined Basschat about 9 years ago, I thought I'd say hello! I'm based in beautiful Derbyshire and I play in a Van Halen tribute band. It's a load of fun.

I'm a serial buyer and seller of bass stuff much to the chagrin of my long-suffering wife.

I've met so many awesome people over the years buying and selling through Basschat - everyone I've dealt with has been realy cool!

I love building 'bitsa's' - both guitars and basses, and I'm toying with building a set-neck guitar from scratch - how hard can it be?

My main bass is my Bassworks MMT-4 custom build. There's a diary of this bass here :

I also have a German-made Warwick Streamer which I modded with a Hipshot bridge, Bartolini Soapbar and active EMG 18v electronics, as well as my Van Halen PJ Bitsa with passive Dimarzios.

I'm in love with my Ampeg V-4B - it sounds immense through the Big Twin 2. A match made in heaven!

Anyway, if anyone wants to know more about any of this stuff let me know!

Toodles!
