    Hi there !

    G'day all !

    I'm really happy to join you in this great adventure of BYO bass guitar

    My name is Sylvain, I'm french and I'm a big big (even more) newbie arround here..
    As you know, french aren't good english speaker.. let me know if you can't understand me !

    To be honest, I'm a little scared about building a bass but I promess to do my best...
    I know nothing is impossible : I brew my own beer (and sometimes it tastes good )

    Here's my story :
    I'm a bass player for a long time, and a (bad) sax player. I used to play bass in bands : metal, funk, reggae and lately rock (we made a clip if you're interested !)

    I own a few basses, but mostly to play rock or funk..

    The other day I was studying my II-V-I, and I thought "I need a jazz bass damn it!!".
    Sooo, I search Internet and Wow ! I can build it myself !
    This is how I ordered the ESB-4 semi hollow ! I really had a crush on this one.. even if it's not the easiest to mount..

    My plan is to manage to build it and have a great sound.. If so, I'm certain I will order some differents models and why not customise mics and colors !

    Again, nice to meet you :-)

    Sylvain

    Welcome along Roger - don't worry about the English - many on the forum are Australian - and although its apparently our mother tongue - we still get it wrong .

    Not too shabby in the manufacture of saxophones though.

    Good luck with the project.

    cheers, Mark.
