Bill,
 
What's next? A shaggy dog story?
 
Bradley

Thanks a again, guys, for the nice welcome and your help so far. A big thank you to Jimmy for contacting me and being so cooperative.
 
The interview will be published in August, but I'll try to post a translation here, when I've got time. In any case I will post pictures and maybe a little review after the March gig, so watch out for this.
 
take care...

I look forward for the interview with Jimmy..
Fortunately, I have a Abonement for Bassquarterly
nice to read it in German....

I cant wait to read the interview - Jimmy is one of my main guys, his work with Allan Holdsworth is sublimely tasteful - he has a real pedigree
 
......he has a nice taste in canines also!
 
John.

But it's a scottie not a yorkie ;-) *
 
Graeme.
 
*in case that went over our tansatlantic friends' heads, a yorkie is a chunky chocolate bar supposedly favoured by truck drivers.

I prefer, I think they are called...
 
Cadbury flake.  Mmmm.
 
Of course, I'm not a lorry driver and my car does not have a boot (except on my feet).
 
Two countries separated by a common language, it never fails to amuse.

This is a funny (haha) thread.
 
Nice to be in the company of greatness though.
 
Are there any other famous bass players hiding behind the anonymity of user names within these ranks?

Nope, not a Scottie, it's a Westie.

Just trying to keep off topic here.

We might as well keep bending this thread until it breaks - or Mica deletes it (anytime is fine).  
Cheers to Pete, Ulf, John and Slawie.  And Graeme, thanks for reminding me.  We all brought these back for our wives just to see the reaction.  Not an ad campaign that would go over well here in the States...

Jimmy,
You just gave me a great idea to use as stocking stuffers for my daughters this next Christmas.

There's a publicity campagne here in the Netherlands for Snickers bars where they use a completely different brand name:
 

 
As in: Men's fuel.
 
They even have a lad-mag type of website where you need to be over 18 to enter.

mmmmmmmmmmmmm, I love a nice bar of mannenbrandstoe....!
 
John.

It's a good thing that bar is kept in a wrapper.  Safe mastication and all that, you know!
 
hehehehe
 
Bill, tgo

Hey, this is family friendly.  No talk of mastication here.
 
Oh, wait.  You said mastication.  Never mind.

Back on topic... Here's a serious bass question:
Jimmy how would you describe your preferred action on your instruments? low, middling, high? Is your fretless set up with lower or higher action than your fretted bass?
