They were - I first met @skelf in about 2007 at a Manchester Bass Day. I was a much skinnier young oik then.
I spent this morning saying hello/catching up.
The basses on the stand were INSANE. So beautifully made. The necks are honestly some of the best I’ve ever touched - I didn’t play them (dangerous territory I fear) - but a J type 4 in the purple to blue would ABSOLUTELY suit me - and they’re so well priced; I’ve not a clue why I’m not already in the queue.
Also met his better half who does some stunning finishing work.
Lovely lovely people.
