stingrayfan Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 (edited) Nik - any chance of getting someone in who could do set-ups for £s on the day? I've got at least two basses that could do with a good set-up and it would be nice to get them done on-site, while I'm sipping a lager and playing someone else's bass badly. Edit: oh and Merton - nice J retro - but stick your neck out and take a pic of it please. I want to see some hardcore graphite please!
