I've just splashed out on a gold one. Should land tomorrow or Thursday and will happily review after a short period of ownership. If anyone near me wants to come and try it out you would be most welcome.

Mint p/g? But agree MOP would look cool too, maybe aged MOP if you want a more creamy colour.

As a long time Yes fan I really liked that (the first LP I ever bought was Close To The Edge). CD ordered. BTW the Band Geeks do some really good covers on YouTube.

Will do Dave.

My Cali II VS was definitely under 8lbs; the Cali I P bass I had was just over 9lbs. I think when they did the modifications to the Cali I to create the Cali II range the body size was reduced and possibly made thinner too, so I guess much of the weight saving was achieved this way.

Yes it was me I Dave, and thanks for sparing the time. My wife was sadly unable to come to the Blackburn gig, but we are both booked to see the band in Colne in a few months.

Just went to a Kate Bush tribute gig this evening in Blackburn. The band are called Cloudbusting and are well worth your time if that is your musical flavour. Great bass player too in Dave Roberts who played upright, fretless 5er and a 4-string fretted bass. Do check them out. https://katebushtribute.com/

Wow, my basses have them too. What are they there for?

Fair enough, but if after several months a very reasonably priced instrument doesn't see on here then the whole moral code argument somewhat dissembles itself. A seller might quite reasonably want to buy something on here with the cash he hopes to realise from a sale, and if selling a bass elsewhere allows that to happen then where's the problem?

Wasn't there a thread about this a while ago?

With one honourable exception I always put basses on here first at lower price. Equally most of them then sell elsewhere for a good chunk more. Whether that relates to reach or customer service / security I'm not sure, but that is certainly my experience.

Definitely worked for me as I had had a busy few weeks running up to it. To have the BB and then a day to chill was great.

Great day, and really good to see old friends and meet new ones. Thanks very much to Rob and family for organising, catering and generally being top bananas.

My preparedness thus far extends to having bought a large tin of choccy biscuits (for emergency use by the team).

@peterjam will you be suitably armed with the tin foil lined hat? Just in case....

Every few years Rich and I seem to meet in a railway station concourse with either or both of us having a bass in hand. This year was the year of both of us walking out with a different bass to the one we walked in with. Great to see you as ever Rich and thanks again.

Hi Rob I deal with additive manufacturing as part of my day job so definitely of interest for me. I keep thinking about the ZeroMods parts and how expensive they whether I should just buy a few and scan them....

I can bring my pedal board along too if folks want to try anything out. It has a Korg Pitch Black mini tuner; T-Rex Quint; Sansamp YYZ overdrive; TC Electronic Thunderstorm flanger; Keekey Bassist compressor; Digitec Drop pedal and a Micro Thumpinator.
