		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve played a various Music Man basses, including the Stingray 5 (of which I&#8217;ve been an admirer for a long while) and the curiously named Bongo (strikingly modern looking), but I&#8217;ve never played a Stirling.

		<description><![CDATA[A very big thanks to Andy Long for bringing this one to my attention: Alun Vaughan has released a very special Christmas treat for bass fans: 10 Christmas carol arrangements for solo bass. These are chordal arrangements for solo bass in notation and tablature. It might seem a little early, but you&#8217;ll need time to practice, right? You can [...]]]></description>

It looks like Mark is playing the original Status Graphite King Bass in this video (complete with rather nifty the bendwell that Rob Green put into the design).

Train hits boy (don&#8217;t ask me!), aka Wayne, has produced a brilliant coded map of the fretboard, covering standard tuning on a 4 string bass: Very handy!
