A few miles away? How about the company CEO being just upstairs?

I played a Vigier at NAMM, very nice bass, but mucho $$$.

Another great bass I played was a Marleaux Consat, really nice! Marleaux also had two super cool 21" scale mini versions of the Consat that is an octave higher than standard tuning, these would be especially nice through an octave divider. Direct price? How about $4500!!!!

That's at least partly a reflection of the strong Euro.... but it still hurts....

Yeah, Gerald Marleaux said it was about €2600

I have a Vigier Excess II,
beautiful bass!
In this time I play only Rickenbacker & Vigier.

Apparently you can if you adopt the persona to go along with it. One of my favourite broadcasters............Mr. Don Cherry.

I love this guy. I always want to watch CBC vs US TV when the Wings play a Canadian team just to see him.
