I have just bought a set of Elixir Nano's from David. He certainly went out of his way to get them sent to me quickly, in time for a show I had over the past week.. He's been fantastically helpful, and an absolute pleasure to deal with!! A true gentleman! Thanks David, speak to you soon!!

Hey guys.. Sorry for the lack of information on this thread, but i'd like to get it going again! I finally found some time to try the bass, and used it on a gig..I did a concert of Jekyll and Hyde the musical for a local operatics society. The owner was there, hence letting me use it! The bass aesthetically is sooooooo moje'd!! The neck is absolute perfection, with a really beautiful vintage colour. The body has plenty of wear in places.... mainly, the body has a large gouge on the lower. Apparently, my friend used it on a gig, was pissed as a skunk, and the hi-hat on the drum kit going up and down all night, had gouged out a large mark in the lower of the bass!!!! Back in the day... He wouldn't do that now! The pick guard has a nice, almost gold apprearance from smokey clubs. Absolutely all parts are original, although I believe its been re-fretted, and it was originally salmon pink, it was refinished in the 70's/80's sometime by a qualified professional who finished the body to Fender spec original sunburst which looks stunning, despite the wear it now bears. The neck wasn't touched, and is beautiful. Argghhh, I could go on and on.... It plays beautifully, just perfect!! The tone is unbelievable, the action and feel is by far the best precision I've ever played! No problems with wiring, no buzzes, hisses, nothing.. It was such an easy bass to play!! I will try and get hold of it again now, when he returns from holiday, and get a few hundred high res pics taken.. as it really is the most stunning bass I've ever played, second to my Overwater!!! It would be great to work out a value for it, although he's turned down numerous offers of £1000's, as the bass is a part of him.. even if it was worthless, its still priceless to him. He owned it from '63, bought it new from the shop I can't remember the name of in Liverpool, and has the receipt for it still I believe, and its been through everything with him.. he's had it longer than his wife!!! He bought it for when he was in a band with Ricky Tomlinson, before Ricky's fame, and was in a band called Karl Terry and the Cruisers in Liverpool... and so on....!! He won't let anyone use it unless he's present, and I can see why.. Its not just a bass.. It's fascinating to hear the stories about the bass, he could talk for days about the bass, places it's been, stories for every mark and scratch etc.. Just phenomenal!! So interesting More soon....!

I have a Westfield B1000 P in trans blue.. which is a very nice bass for the cash!! Really served me well for my first few years of bass playing. Upgraded rather substantially to a custom Overwater now, but still.. for the cash, all Westfield basses seem quality for the money!! Fit and finish seemed nice on mine. Mine is for sale by the way!

Fair enough.. im gonna bid!
