Woodinblack Posted February 25, 2017 Posted February 25, 2017 [quote name='GrahamT' timestamp='1488027599' post='3245141'] Scrumpymike - Please update my entry on the list - I will be bringing my Ashbory bass and my mint condition Crafter BA580EQ 5 string electric acoustic bass for sale. Also, if anyone has a Fender P or P/J 5 string or a G&L 2500 I would love to try these. [/quote] I have a G&L 2500 - gonna need a bigger car Quote

Graham [/quote] It looks like your covered already but I am down as bringing a for sale, G&L Tribute L2500. I can switch it to my L1505 if there are a few of those already Quote
Woodinblack Posted February 25, 2017 Posted February 25, 2017 Oh I didn't remember that - i wont bother if you have one there already. No point cluttering things up Quote

funky8884 Posted February 26, 2017 Posted February 26, 2017 There is a high probability that I can make it ! I can bring a JV P with flats, Cricket Bat , GK MB800 , Barefaced BB2. Quote
scrumpymike Posted February 26, 2017 Author Posted February 26, 2017 List updated to add Woodinblack's G&L 2500 (subject to car space ) and funky8884. Quote

GrahamT Posted February 27, 2017 Posted February 27, 2017 Hi again Scrumpymike, I know a luthier, Graham Bradshaw, who lives and works from his home in Durston, on the Taunton-Glastonbury road. He is very experienced and a lovely guy. If you look at his website he has photos of a pair of Hohner headless basses (4 string lined fretless and 5 string fretted) that he has conjoined into one instrument for a customer - Awesome! He is interested in coming along to meet us at the bash, show some of the work that he is doing atm and talk luthiery. [email protected] Graham Quote
Chownybass Posted February 27, 2017 Posted February 27, 2017 Looks like the South West is a bit of a hotbed of guitar/bass activity. I know Zilla Cabs are also based down here. It's great to see how many of us there are Quote

[email protected] Graham [/quote] Thanks Graham, I've just sent him an e-mail - and he's a useful contact to have as the other local I was using (Kim Webber) is sadly no longer with us. Not had any reply from Mike Gillett btw and he's not answering his phone. Wonder if he's taking exhibiting at this year's London show. Quote
