He said "Yeah, it's been sat here for ages waiting for you." Upside is he's sticking it in the post next week... 😀 Have you got it? I assume a NBD thread is imminent? 😎 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petecarlton Posted August 24, 2022 Author Share Posted August 24, 2022 No, not yet. Jon's not quite there yet and, what with one thing and another, I won't get to Hope Valley until the middle of September, but I can assure you there will definitely be a copious NBD when I get it! Tantalising, huh?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muzz Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 No, not got mine, either - been working away a lot this week, and I'm on holiday next week...the week after that, tho... 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petecarlton Posted August 25, 2022 Author Share Posted August 25, 2022 NBD probably about 10th... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petecarlton Posted September 12, 2022 Author Share Posted September 12, 2022 NBD! (I'll probably post on that thread too, but here's the stuff you've - well I've - been waiting for) 😉 I finally picked up the bass from Jon on Thursday, but haven't had time or the pix to do anything about it until now. It's awesome! It oozes quality, the action with the brass nut is superb, the tonal range from the John East pre-amp is incredible - everything from a Stingray clank to a Jamerson thud - and it weighs... 7lb 6oz!! Jon was quite apologetic - he'd been aiming for 7lb, I think - but the Hipshot detuner I added to the spec took it over the top. Anyway, here are some pix. Enjoy! 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fishman Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 Cracking work there – loving the Trace Elliott in the back of the third pic too 🙂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard R Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 @petecarlton Somehow missed this thread - You are bringing that to Nottingham in April aren't you? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petecarlton Posted February 6, 2023 Author Share Posted February 6, 2023 Morning, Richard - yes, I'll definitely be bringing it. By then, I should have managed to explore the majority of the tonal options on the pre-amp! I think we're still the only ones who've added to that thread - might be worth giving some sort of a reminder or explainer. I'll have a look later. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
