Hi folks, Well I bartered with Marcus for a fair few PM pages for his Nate Mendel P bass and we finally settled on a deal. He knew me better than I know myself lol and posted it in, quite rightly, a hardcase instead of a gig bag I'd asked for (I don't think it would have been insured in a gig bag anyhow so a good move to be honest). The bass, after a bit of tweaking is ace, I'm really made up by it so thank you Marcus for the sale. It was also packed up and posted very quickly with lots of foam bits used in the parcel , Cheers.
