It was easy. Factors are : * Shipping has gone up 250-450% and lead times are SLOOOOOOOW * Prices in India have gone up * It insulates us more from currency fluctuations * It allows us to control stock better * We are also making careful changes to the range to be more efficient in production without a cost in quality. The cost is effort. Expect some improvements to the SWB. Announcements to follow but sneak peak. It'll be : * Lighter (chambering in the body) * Design tweaks * New Deluxe Edition Thanks EVERYBODY for your positivity. We're excited and nervous in equal measure!

We're also formalising our partnership. Expect announcements soon. New partnership to sit on top of the two companies inbound!

He will be crucial in assembling them as well as setting them up! All in our new Bristol workshops.

Sorry. Doing the Bristol Half Marathon on Sunday - so won't be there. But passing a wave and a hello to all and hope you all have a good time!

Sorry dude. Mad busy. PM/DM me with a number and I'll give you a buzz.

We collaborate but are separate companies. Just FYI.

Thanks Jack. There’s a little video I made here that shows how they work

If only Gibson's lawyers felt the same way!

We need to find a new manufacturer. But due to Covid delays with our basses - it’s not our top priority at the moment. Sorry!

It's a pirate of my pedal yes. Bastards!

Bin. Not burn.

They have truss rods yes. What they don't have is the two carbon fibre rods on either side of it that the final production models will have.

It's too late to put the carbon fibre rods in now. They still work fine and setup ok. They're finished but have no hardware fitted.

I have about 12 completed bodies/necks for the NT series basses (some 4 string, some 5 string) that the factory forgot to fit the carbon fibre neck rods for. I was originally going to bin them in India (which seems somewhat wasteful). But I don't want them getting out into the marketplace with my name on them - as they do not match our advertised spec. (not that they are bad by any means) Do you think it'd be worth bringing them over and offering them up on here (obviously for a small sum of money)? Are there enough DIY bass tinkerers to make this worth my while? TA! Stephen

He sells them because I keep sending them to him and he doesn’t have space. Not because he doesn’t like them

What you're not taking into account here is that my motivation is selfish and I don't have your best interests at heart. Unless your best interests align with buying a bass. In which case... I'm your best friend.

Probably not. Sorry! They're not that far along yet.

About £600-ish is the figure we’re working to at the moment

There is a NCP pretty much at the venue. You can get tickets at the door.

SEO takes time! In fact age is one of the primary factors in ranking I think. Also... they're page 1 position 3 for "Bass Guitar Review".

It cost me about that to park from friday through sunday at the venue.

Some nice artist announcements. Miki Santamaria, Peter Hook, Billy Sheehan.
