Ok, two things.....
1. Gareth is a great Guy to deal with period.
2. Joe Veillette's basses are quite, quite exquisite.
I have one which is a very similar spec' to this one and it's just a joy to play.
Oh, and if you were to order one now, you'd be looking at a fair old wait and stumping up [u]considerably[/u] more than what Gareth's asking.
