Just a quick introduction. I run a small studio in the Clare and Gilbert Valleys in South Australia, play in several local bands (mainly bass) and repair valve amps and vintage audio equipment. I am currently in the process of building a new studio, hopefully to be finished by mid 2011, with a floor space of about 100 sq metres. The building is completed, now I'm fitting sound proofing prior to building the internal walls and then commencing the wiring.

Welcome and tell me about your pride and joy basses.
Cheers from a fellow bass player.

Welcome aboard Bob

For you assistance....... a short search found the following definitions of a Trocker:

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Trocker
1.
Trockers are writers and listeners of Trock (Time Lord Rock) music. This is music written about the popular sci-fi show Doctor Who. For more detail check out the definition of Trock. Let me just say, Trockers are pretty hot.
I listen to the Trock band Chameleon Circuit, and I also write Trock music, so on two counts I am a Trocker.

2.
Trocker (T rŏk'ər)

A trendy with aspirations to be a rocker. They generally dress trendy but frequent rock clubs looking half trendy and half rock or goth. The male trockers can often be spotted with a suspicious amount of gel in their hair and enough aftershave to knock out a horse. The female trockers with armani or gucci bags and excessive perfume.
"I pulled this well fit girl on Saturday in Jillys rockworld. I had a feeling she was a trocker though from the armani bag and excessive amount of perfume."

Thanks for the welcome trockers one and all................

I've tried a couple of times to insert some images from photobucket but I keep getting the following error

It was not possible to determine the dimensions of the image.

What am I doing wrong?
