Terry Capewell from Stockton on Tees in the UK being playing bass for as long as flares were in fashion(arghh!) Bought first real bass which was a Squier JV precision with a beautiful flame maple neck, now it has baddas II bridge & Alembic P/J activators with 2 x volume, bass & treble controls. Bought MK medium scale model in New York in Jan 1998 from Rudy's Music Stop. Was an abslute bargain as they are SO expensive here in the UK..in fact I think I am the only person in my area to own one.. Musical influences..Mark King(obviously), Stan the Man, Jaco plus a smattering of Victor Wooten, Marcus Miller and all the rest of those funky bass players | ||

thanks for the comments...well will have to get digital camera out or look in back up files for my bass, just for the record my MK has a bubinga top with maple accent laminate and mahogany core with three piece maple neck/walnut laminate pinstripes, vol, pan, 2x tone filters & q switches. It gives ALL the sounds I ever want plus more..god knows what the series I & II electronics with variable Q controls do..it must be tone heaven!! Anyway thanks for the welcome..I guess alembic owners are either unique or bordering on the mentally disturbed!! | ||

Hi terry. Graeme up near edinburgh here although i'm originally a northumbrian. Got my epic in brum in 1997 (pics in the showcase section) and I'm just in the process of ordering a fretless rogue - you're right about the price compared with the states although i think the import duties make up a fair proportion of the extra cost. Anyway, welcome to the club and look me up if you're travelling in scotland. graeme | ||

Terry, welcome to the club. You don't really need a digital camera. Take the old Clickon Camera and ask the photostore -when developing- to put them on a CD. Easy to upload them than. Paul the bad one | ||

Andrew, I think it does. However, I believe a requirement is that one member brews his own beer!!! Ironic that New England is the North East of of the US. JP | ||

When I left the north east in 1984, the only beers available where Mcewans (best scotch for me) and federation (weak as gnats pee). Where have al the real ales come from ? graeme | ||

I suggest we all bang a bottle of Newcastle Brown Ale on the table to celebrate the addition of our new member Terry and to the Creation of the ANEEC. I am working on the new brew as we speak you will be the first to try JP. Cheers everyone Andrew | ||

Sam, You need to get your beer bearings straight (leave no pun unintended) - Guinness is Irish! | ||
