Well, I’ve emailed Jon Shuker about a used uberhorn he has (pic posted earlier) and I’m going to go have a look at it..

Holy Schmoly that is mouth-wateringly gorgeous. I’m sure everyone at enablers anonymous is saying ‘buy it!!’

has anyone here ever attempted a build in modding? i haven't noticed one (will dig into search over the weekend). that would be a fascinating thread.

As a teenager, all thoughts of attempting double bass were thwarted when I saw Brian Torff on the George Shearing television programme. (1979/80/81-ish)
