    Do you mean Feb 2022? GLWTS.

    Absolute steal at this price - these have been slowly increasing in value and recognition over the past few years. GLWTS.

    Very sad, one of music's real characters. I saw him with Solid Senders in 1978 - you couldn't take your eyes off him. He'll be much missed.

    Jeez, what a bargain! GLWTS - won't stay here long.

    Lovely bass! There's one of these on Reverb at a similar price, but not such a nice colour, but this does seem a steal - £650 new. I struggle to play 4, let alone 5 strings, otherwise I would seriously be tempted, but GLWTS anyway.

    Super rig at a super price. GLWTS!
  7. petecarlton
    This is beautiful and definitely deserves a bump! Unfortunately, I could only extend to the Sterling by Music Man version, and I love that. This would be awesome! GLWTS!
  8. petecarlton
    That's a bargain, though it is pretty heavy. If I hadn't just replaced my entire rig, I'd be very tempted at this price. GLWTS!

    Was this before or after Dieselgate? 😂
  10. petecarlton
    I must admit, I did wonder about that!
  11. petecarlton
    You could bring a fish.

    As amended by the 130th...?

    Tantalising! I'm just getting to grips with mine - so many great options on the John East preamp that I haven't dared use my Flyrig with it yet. Hang in there!
  14. petecarlton
    Ah, gotcha! But... Elvis? On bass? 🙃

    I'm sorry to have to show my ignorance, but what is the purpose of the "Hootenanny button" on the back of the headstock? Looks like a strap button!? Not that you'll need it with this gem, but GLWTS! Pete

    These are really giggable - I know someone who gigs with his - Stingray-toned basses. This is a bargain price too. GLWTS!

    What a beautiful bass - Atelier Z simply better than Fender imho.

    I think the 15th or 22nd are probably favourite, given that the 29th is another bank holiday weekend. If anyone has a preference either way, please let me know. I agree @Richard R - don't want to be rushing in at the last minute and under pressure to get out in a hurry - but I would suggest starting and finishing a little later, to allow people from further-flung reaches of the Midlands to get there - say, 11 - 4? School hols seem to be at the beginning of the month. Term ends on the 31st March in Nottingham. That would suggest 22nd as the better of the two.

    Hi all. I've now had confirmation that any Saturday in April is available to us after all. £60 for hiring from 12 - 4pm, £95 for all day. Any thoughts? Pete

    We work with who turns up - that evening we had a tap dancer (standing up), violin, tenor sax, alto, clarinet, keys, snare, bass and guitars. Play in threes nominated pretty randomly by the moderator for five minutes, no stopping, no conferring - great fun, though scary at first! Sometimes, it even sounds like music.

    Got to say, I had a good experience with PMT over the past few days. I wanted to replace my existing practice/rehearsal rig (GK MB200 + Ashdown OR-110 cab) with a relatively lightweight combo, for ease of transit and kindness to dodgy back, and marked out the Boss Katana 210, the Laney Digbeth 210 and the Trace Elliott Elf 110 combo as possible replacements. PMT in Nottingham said they could get the Katana and the Trace in for me to try (I had to pay quite a deposit, but it was refundable, so I wasn't too bothered). Between arranging this on Saturday morning and getting home that afternoon, my regular tech suggested trying PJB and I found a used but excellent condition GB-400 amp on eBay, with the C4 extension cab. By Sunday evening, I'd tried it, paid for it and had it back home. So I rang PMT to say please don't bother with getting the Trace and Katana in and please refund my deposit (feeling somewhat guilty as I'd mucked them about a bit). In fact, they'd already got the Katana and the Trace was due in later today; but Joe, who'd sorted out the original arrangement, couldn't have been more charming, arranged the refund there and then over the phone and wished me well with the PJB. I was really impressed and relieved. Thanks, chaps!

    Is that a thing?! 😉 Lovely bass though. GLWTS!
  23. petecarlton
    This might give you a better idea of the space (fortunately someone else took some pix!)

    I emailed my contact on Friday, she's trying to sort it out today... 🤞
  25. petecarlton
    It's available @Richard R. However,I still can't tell you which Saturday, plus I forgot to take the pictures I promised at my last improv session there. Bad bassist! 😀 Actually, there's a little bit about it on their website: https://www.radfordcaregroup.org.uk/prospect-street/
