That fretless is very handsome. I like Vigier basses. There was a blue beauty in that shop in Colchester last year.

That's a beautiful picture and Ayrton Senna is just the icing on the cake :)

Thanks! I'm still playing with the camera and with basically no light in the lounge I had to use ISO3200 as I have no tripod! The pic of Aryton I took myself too - though I took a picture of a picture in a book and blew it up!!

Thanks - it really is a special bass but I haven't been playing it so much recently. Sometimes it's all I play for ages, though. Come to think of it, apart from earlier this evening, when I had a great jam, I haven't played much bass at all in the last few weeks!

ped[/quote]Bring back tobacco sponsership in F1, it was far sexier.
I love the way Vigier basses somehow show the expression of the French people. Their upper and lower horns are at just the right orientation to say, "We are French, let's eat a great meal, drink some fine wine, dance and then make love".

Like many people I started off with a cheap thing to practise on and when the finish started to wear thin I just got some cheap stuff to cover it with........


After I while though when I began to take life more seriously I had a proper refurb done


Can you believe it's the same one?

Anyway - nothing lasts forever so I got this last year


First 'off white ' one I've ever had but I never liked it from day one.

So - I just took delivery of a new chocolate leather 3 seater recliner - cost a fortune but it's ace.

BTW - sorry about the silly basses getting in the way of the pics.

Yeah at Spa going through Eau Rouge, 1986 in qualifying. 2 years before my bass was made :0)
