Title: How about this for a birthday present?
Post by: Nigel Jackson on August 12, 2015, 06:57:53 PM: Well, today is my birthday and, with still waiting for a BE2 to be released by WNW ........

It's a Hamer XT Series Velocity 2 bass. 2nd hand, but still very, very nice. I'm a real novice, and am starting the callouses, but hopefully with time and effort .....

Now, do we have a drummer, sax, lead guitar, keyboard player out there in the forum? My preferred genre: jazz/rock.

Best wishes
Nigel

I play a great keyboard, but I just don't play it very well! ;D

It is indeed a cool bass. As yet I'm a hopeless beginner, but I'm learning. With you saying that you don't play your keyboard very well George, I think we'd have to go for some free-form jazz!

Best wishes

Thank you one and all for your kind greetings on my birthday. That's a great photograph of a young Scott live on stage, but surely you have missed George (Pgtaylorart) on keyboards from the proposed band line up?

Best wishes

Just saw this thread. Belated Happy Birthday to you! I assume that your present is in 1:1 scale, and is not made of plastic! :D Hope you had a great day! 8)

Post by: Nigel Jackson on September 24, 2015, 03:40:21 PM: Hi Gary.

Thanks. It was a very good day indeed.

Ha, yes 1:1. My painting skills couldn't manage a translucent finish like that and the hard skin now on the fingertips on my fretting hand tells me it's real

Best wishes
