Looking real good, Jazzy
You never posted the pic of your loaded Smart Car though, and I'm dying to see it
I need to find a tiny, fuel-sipping, bass-friendly alternative to my Mercury anchor ...errr... Sable wagon.
 
And Jacko's right about the shirt too!

I didn't take my smart car this gig as I had other people to carry in the car. Maybe I will just load it up for a photo.

Here is a clip  on you tube from the gig. Sound is not great but you can get an idea of how my Europa sounds.

An excellent groove, and smooth playing all around.

Really good stuff Jazzy- my 4 year old daughter and 1 year old son wandered in while it was playing and had an impromptu groove party, so I think that means they like it too!

Thanks Georgie Boy, that Europa has a really impressive sound to it when you stand near the bass cab. The neck is very comfortable, it balances well and it's quite a heavy bass too. The previous owners have really looked after it as it is spotlessly clean.

Yeah that sax man is excellent and that alembic sounds as clear as glass what do U clean it with Windex? & you have a British accent too...if i didnt have a freakin bald-spot i'd be sporting dreads too!

Well Keavin, I was born in UK so it kind of goes with the territory and good ol' Victor Wooten has a bald spot and is still sporting dreads... but i know what you mean. If I start going bald I will shave the lot off and make a wig hahaha.
 
Thanks again for you good words.
