Stanley on his new Bass, I asked him about it! He said that he just needs to practice on it - for a year!
That's where I'm at with my Series 1 purchased back in December! These Basses are extension of your body. All the nuances, tone and dynamic ranges make them so that any mistake or subtle changes in playing comes out much more dramatically than any Bass at least I?ve ever played. No mistakes unless they be heard.
This is reassuring that Stanley takes such Pride at what he is doing taking the time to make his performances right. The more you play the more you learn. I got a lot to learn.
Harry your smile says it all, what a Great Experience.
Pete

Finally posting an update - I took my SCS2 to the mothership to have a little bit of work done - there were the usual instruments hanging out on the walls, couch, etc. - we got a tour, which was great since my wife was with me and she had never seen anything except the office! When we got back to the office, Mica just offhandedly mentioned that Stanley's bass was on the couch.

!!!$#%@^# I had noticed the bass but didn't put it together - this is the bass that I had just seen him play for one song a few weeks earlier! Managed to snap a couple of pics:

What a thrill to have my bass so close to his. As you can probably guess, I have the couch photo as my lock screen wallpaper on my phone, and both pics are on my hieronymous twitter page.

Next step is to use the bass in rehearsals with the new band, and then hopefully we can start gigging!

Thanks Wolf! I'm especially happy because I only had my iPhone but they came out OK!

I should mention that the carpet shot is my laptop wallpaper!

Harry:

Coincidentally, I know exactly how you feel. I stopped off at the Mothership this afternoon. There were two guitars sitting in their open cases next to each other. One was Woody, (my custom Further), and the other was the gorgeous Orion with Further stage electronics and MIDI belonging to John Kadlecik, the lead guitarist in Further. I didn't even think to take a picture. :-(

Bill, tgo
