New here

[Sven]

My name is Sven and I'm new here. Chris, Rob, Saf and Peter know me from the Dutch bassforum. I've been playing bass since '92 and have been in bands since '96. My first bass was a Fenix P copy that I still have. I've strung it with flats now and it's mainly used for recording. Nowadays I have nice collection of basses and guitars:
-Rickenbacker '94 4003 Fireglo
-Rickenbacker '05 4003 BlueBoy (Chris drooled when he played it)
-Squier '83 JV Precision
-Squier Telebass refinished in Vintage Guacamole
-Epiphone Rivoli
-MightyMite Precision with Rio Grande pu
-Richwood fretless bass
-'70s Japanese Jazz copy
-Eko acoustic bass guitar
-Mayhill acoustic bass guitar
-my homemade bass

And some guitars including an Epi LesPaul, 335Dot, a cool strat, some acoustics and two guitars I made.

Amps are a Ampeg V-4, SVT350H, SVT410, SVT15, Hughes&Kettner 2.10 cab, an old Dano bass amp with a cab I made myself and a Marshall JTM30 for guitar.




My homemade bass. It has a Peavey neck and two Bartolini pu's. It weighs just a little less then my Ampeg V-4.



My frankensteined Strat.



My homemade guitar.



My Jazz, isn't it sweet?



Squier Telebass in Vintage Guacamole. The color is a little different than on this pic, cause I'm very good at making bad photos.

Welcome, you have some really cool instruments. Do you know Doug?

[Highlander]

That's a very pink Jazz, Sven... 

Welcome to the club (is a great song by Joe Walsh...)

[Nocturnal]

Welcome!!

[TBird1958]

Welcome Sven,

Chris probably didn't tell you but I'm his ex-fiance......... 

Beautiful basses you have, in particular the Rickenbackers, don't let Chris near them ever! 




 

[Sven]

Thanx!

Chris already played some of my basses, including the Rickenbackers. He has some weird theory about not wanting to have one because he really likes them.

[Highlander]

Yep... that makes sense...

I presume Chris is lurking in the bunker again...

Welcome!

As the owner of two Rics, you might want to visit our Rickenbacker board.

[Sven]

Do you know Doug?

I don't think I do?

[Highlander]

Now you've gone and done it, John...

[Dave W]

I don't think I do?

As Clark Kent is to Superman, Chris P. Dekker is to Doug Fyghter.

Although I don't think Doug wears a cape.

[TBird1958]

I thought he did........goes with spandex 

[Dave W]

...and underwear worn on the outside.
