Sounds disgusting? Well, if you like aniseed the combination is superb. Only a few drops per serving, though, as it tends to overpower the other ingredients.

Yes, it does.

A most underrated root vegetable. A new discovery of mine is to put fresh beetroot in a blender and mix with balsamic vinegar - brilliant with chips (fries). Or just a plain old cheese and beetroot sarney is devine especially with Wensleydale or Shropshire Blue, and salad cream of course. Drool

Am I unconsiously wishing I was a few years younger, or is there another explanation for me bidding on this on eBay????? Confused

If you win it, i'll be rather envious.
Spending more than I should on Prog since 2005

That's the fun of it, these things are build in Vietnam and bidding (from what I've seen) usually ends a little below 200 euro. They're on offer almost continuously in 4, 5 and 6 string from a German company that provides a 3 year warranty and a 1 month no questions asked replacement term for the misbuilds.

Someone at a Dutch bass guitar forum has one (5-string) and he's quite positive about it. Also heard some pretty nice sounding samples played on it.

You are bidding for a thing of absolute beauty Angelo - I cannot imagine you'd need any other explanation Approve

Jared: He (Dean) definitely looks better in a hat... (I'll show you when the pictures of my last gigs finally arrive) Approve

Apart from that, the bass definitely beats my current one where looks are concerned:

Yes, here are the details: Moon Base Alpha - it's even got a Pac-man animation in the fretboard.

Nice! A handy lad ... I wonder where Jeremy Clarkson would stick this one on the cool board (or have they dropped that by now?)

I'd say with a bass like that he could've come up with a more creative name. Anyway - me's off to dream land. "cu2marra"- as an Indian collegue once e-mail to me, it took me three days to figure it out....
