    Hello I'm SJ.
    Here's a little self intro about me.
    I been a member of Talkbass since 2006.
    I'm 19 and currently at the University of Auckland, in New Zealand, majoring in Jazz.
    I didn't expect myself to fall in love with the bass when I first decided to try one.
    I just walked into the local guitar shop, knew nothing about basses, and I just grabbed a bass I liked within my price range, which was a Yamaha RBX170.
    Only used this bass for about a year before I got GAS and bought myself a new bass a year later.
    I learned a lot from this forum and got lots of great advice.
    So thank you to everyone!

    You neighbors probably think you're weird:D

    But those are 2 lovely basses :bassist: and considering its about 32 degrees and flurrying here in St Louis I'm extremely jealous.

    Yeah, that ESP/Edwards is a sweet bass!

    Looks like a copy of a Sadowsky!

    I remember being in Japan seeing alot of Edwards stuff and thinking how nice they were.

    I'm not here so much to comment on the basses but on how jealous I am of you for living in NZ.

    I went to Uni at Otago and unfortunatley had to move to the states afterwards. BLAH,

    what I wouldn't give to go back. it's 1 degree and raining here. Misery.

    That lakland does look good though!
