What a long, strange trip it's been ... ! NVA was my benchmark for Hifi sound from the mid 1980's and I was an admirer of the irascible and uncompromising Richard Dunn. Still using NVA gear in various forms and the philosophy behind them is a basis for my audio adventures. I'll miss this...

I've nearly pushed 'buy' on that HB JA Baritone a couple of times. It looks like a fine instrument. Have ordered the same string-set. Love D'addario and their sound. Am looking at this strap from Amazon...

You want Baritone - you got Baritone !!! Black Friday reductions are upon us and Gear4Music hit me with a sale offer. This is their G4M 638 Baritone VI. I had been looking at this model a while ago, there was a B-stock example but it went before I could decide. This is NOT their cheapest...

Hmmm. A Baritone is also on my wish-list.

Pulled out the fretless bass a week or 2 ago, sounded awful. I need to do some me serious practice with it.

Birthday gift to self. This looks very like a Strandberg Boden headless - but it isn't! The all-new Donner NHL-500 which has been rumoured for several months and has finally been made available. Ultra-lightweight, full scale-length and an asymmetric neck. This plays like a dream at 1/4 the...

Thanks John.

Thanks all for the fine wishes. It was actually the best birthday I've had in years, with the new lady in my life staying over for a long weekend. The coming year will see many changes for me and I'll just have to take them as they come. Best wishes to all!

Thanks Stu. It takes one to know one. Drummers have their own private language just like guitarists do. Bassists nod wisely and head for the bar.

Should be an interesting project. Certainly a bargain!

Nice work !!!
