Here I am with my Sandberg Basic 5 Ken Taylor end of May 2003 unshaved in Wunstorf with a severe sun burn but with a Rodgau Monotones Adrenalin T-Shirt. Was a lot of fun!
Some people claim I rather collect than play basses. ;)

I transport my Basses in Warwick Gig Bags. I mostly play Warwick Red/Black Label Strings (20-) 40-60-80-100 (-130).
Just in case you get me wrong: I'm not a bass guru and I don't make a living from this business (more like the other way around ;) ). My solutions and hints are to be used in "brain on" mode only. Also don't forget that all this is very much a matter of personal taste. :)
If you got interesting bass sound shaping ideas and you are willing to share them with me, please drop me an eMail.
