T_sutton Posted May 20, 2013 Posted May 20, 2013 Played both of these over the weekend at the northern guitar show... Real quality instruments, sounded incredible and played like a dream! Good work guys! Quote
ead Posted May 21, 2013 Posted May 21, 2013 Indeed very nice looking basses, looking forward to seeing #3 completed, I think the wood combinations will look stunning. I must dig out my permit to travel into Yorkshire (from God's own county of Lancashire). Quote
T_sutton Posted May 21, 2013 Posted May 21, 2013 I wouldn't worry about that ead... I'm a Lancashire-ian myself and I've been living in Huddersfield for the past 5 years, my green card must have expired by now! Quote
ead Posted May 21, 2013 Posted May 21, 2013 Good point, well made. I have managed to sneak into the Republic of South Yorkshire a few times without a work permit Quote
