    It's available @Richard R. However,I still can't tell you which Saturday, plus I forgot to take the pictures I promised at my last improv session there. Bad bassist! 😀 Actually, there's a little bit about it on their website: https://www.radfordcaregroup.org.uk/prospect-street/

    Always seemingly better than the US-made models. GLWTS!

    Superb pix. Next time I'm selling, I'll come to you for a photo session!

    UPDATE: I've been told that we can have the space one Saturday in April, but which one will have to wait until a bit nearer the time, as they have a fortnightly commitment to another group, who haven't yet sorted out their 2023 dates. I'll post some pix of the location next week when I'm there for our monthly improv night.

    Difficult to make a short-scale fiver look balanced, but they seem to have done the trick with this one. GLWTS.

    Lovely! GLWTS.

    Unfortunately, both the people who have a say in allocating the Nottingham location are on email auto-reply at the moment, but hoping for some news next week. Keep watching!

    Can't believe this is still here at this price. If I hadn't just bought my dream hand-built bass, I'd have been very tempted. GLWTS.

    Watch this space!

    No worries, Frank, at my age any kind of a parent is an unlikely, but welcome, surprise 😀

    I'll explore and get back to you, if that's a shared opinion.
  12. petecarlton
    There is an option I could explore, but is Nottingham too far out of the way for some?

    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!

    Dinky! 😉 The power to weight ratio must be awesome! GLWTS.
  15. petecarlton
    That might be 7.5lb - I hope! Either way, GLWTS!
  16. petecarlton
    Harsh! 1.519685" - pretty close by eye! 😉

    I found a GK-branded (but probably not GK-licensed) gigbag for my MB200 on fleabay for £15 from a seller called polar_audio, but there's no sign of any there now. Might be worth getting in touch with them? It has plenty of protection and room for the head and a kettle lead power cable. Very happy with it!
  18. petecarlton
    Done!

    Thank you for the video and the booklet Greg @greghagger. Looking forward to working on it. Is there any way to donate?
  20. petecarlton
    Ah, that JBJ!
  21. petecarlton
    Lovely!
  22. petecarlton
    Long time since I saw a coin too! 😉
  23. petecarlton
    Sim-pulls 😉
  24. petecarlton
    Well, your vocalist has all the moves, but it's time he gave them back! What a wonderful thread, by the way. Thanks @warwickhunt for sharing from the off!

    I'm struggling to maintain any kind of equilibrium looking at this bass. If I didn't have a custom from Jon Shuker coming very soon, I'd be all over this. As that's the situation, all I can do is offer a very strong endorsement, and a bump! GLWTS.
