Right on my friend! As my years have increased I've found that twenty three can be relatively recent...i.e last week What a loss when CV left us. Everything I ever saw or heard with him drumming was tasteful and rhythmically over the TOP!

Jimmy...that pic of you in the wrinkled shirt seems to have disappeared. Someone emailed me about it and before I send it anywhere else, I thought it might be good to check in here. If there are any issues with the pic, let me know. I won't send it or post it until I know. Thanks in advance...for everything.

Steve,
Oops, well, the pics from that gig are posted here:
http://www.studiomlive.com/nearfest2007/Allan%20Holdsworth/index.htm
but there is a copyright notice. So I guess we can look at them there but are not supposed to repost or whatever...? All good. They got some nice shots. Maybe photoshop ironing is the answer?

If you hip hop(photoshop)the picture, would the copyright be less enforceable? I got called out on a John Paul Jones picture I posted on here, so I couldn't resist to jump in on this.

Thanks, Jimmy...the person asking is a member. I will send off this link in case he misses it. As a photo hobbyist all of my life, I certainly did love the pic and do not want to infringe on anyone's work. Thanks for the others...there are 2 names. Whoever shot the pics did nice work.

Regards...
Steve

I just love this shot Jimmy. You really look like you're loving that bottom end ;-)

Aww man. I came to this forum today to see if there was interest if I wanted to sell my Series I 5-string, then I saw this thread and wondered how in the world could I even think about that. Jimmy J is the reason I took up the bass in the first place and it's great to see him here. Every few years when I have a lean couple of months the same thought goes through my head, but I'll never go through with it. Like I'd get rid of my own leg. Instead of selling, I'm gonna get the RF upgrade and some Series II electronics?not sure how that makes me feel better, but it does!

THANKS?this thread and all your enthusiasm talked me off the ledge.

Continue to Play it Healthy!

Hey Dan,
(As in son of Mike?)
Sweet of you to say that. Hang on to that axe if you can, it's nice to have the best tools available when you feel the urge to use them.
I recommend simply playing the bass to make you feel better. Save the upgrades for when you have the extra cash...

Thanks for everything!

(As in son of Mike?) The very same.

I recommend simply playing the bass to make you feel better.

I can't think of a better prescription than that. You know what always makes it better? A really good set-up and a new set of strings. Time to call my guy.

Dan,

Coming from a guy who used to always have his basses setup for him.... give Joey's setup post a read in the FAQ section and then have a go at it yourself. I'm not gonna lie- I was scared the first time, but the directions are idiot proof and in the end I got the action *exactly* where I wanted it and now I can dial in my basses anytime I want and get 'em just the way I like 'em. The bridge design, dual truss rods and adjustable nut make them perfect for getting it just the way you like.

Anyhow- the whole reason for all that ^ above was because I have a feeling that setting the bass up yourself and putting on a set of fresh strings will ultimately make you feel happier than paying somebody else to do it and you'll have it the way you want. Plus, I found that pulling it all apart and examining the bridge design, truss rods, etc gave me that much more appreciation for the bass- you get to admire and know all those intimate details when you do it yourself.

Either way- glad to hear you're keeping it and playing it. Enjoy.

Toby
