We'll show you. Bring your own mouthpiece though. Quote

OldGit Posted March 24, 2010 Author Posted March 24, 2010 Just in case you were interested, W&t have seriously updated their website. It's got a lovely light up red bass on the home page and lots of nice new pictures in the galleries [url="http://www.wtbasses.net/home.aspx"]http://www.wtbasses.net/home.aspx[/url] Quote
OldGit Posted April 11, 2010 Author Posted April 11, 2010 Bump as it's next weekend ... I'm just back from North Italy where I managed to pop up to see Erik and Enrico in the workshop. They were just finishing off a batch of 5 basses including an interesting flat black EJ4 custom for a UK person... I took some snaps but havent had time to look at them yet .. Quote

mcgraham Posted April 15, 2010 Posted April 15, 2010 At least we won't have to share our basses with anyone else Oh, make it four... Mark Stickley will probably be there... it is his place after all. Quote
Ancient Mariner Posted April 15, 2010 Posted April 15, 2010 I'm going to try - probably arrive around 3ish if I'm coming. Quote
mcgraham Posted April 15, 2010 Posted April 15, 2010 Great! Would be a pleasure to meet you. The more the merrier. Quote

mcgraham Posted April 15, 2010 Posted April 15, 2010 Oh well Luckily mine's brown in colour and matte in finish so dings don't show up quite so much. Quote
pantherairsoft Posted April 16, 2010 Posted April 16, 2010 I hope more people turn up… As I am not a W&T owner I was looking forward to trying loads of them out… And I've already played yours Mark... Quote
ped Posted April 16, 2010 Posted April 16, 2010 I'm going to Oxford on Sunday so I'm going to sneak away for a bit and pop along, all being well (well, my mother being well, as she's playing the invalid at the moment) Quote

OldGit Posted April 16, 2010 Author Posted April 16, 2010 (edited) Tredders is coming along too. I'm bringing his new old Japanese P bass for him. A bit safer than the last time we exchanged basses (that ended up in the destroyed Honer Steinberger bat saga) Be good to see all who can come along.... I hope you are all bringing basses I'll have my Shuker P5 too. Edited April 16, 2010 by OldGit Quote
ped Posted April 16, 2010 Posted April 16, 2010 Shame Witney is sort of not on the way or way back from Maidenhead... I'll sort something out, even if it's just to take a few pics!! I'll bring my bass of course and show W&T how it's really done ;0) Cheers ped Quote
pantherairsoft Posted April 16, 2010 Posted April 16, 2010 I'll bring my GB Spitfire 5 & my Roscoe Fretless 6 (which came from Bass Direct, so it's kinda going home :-)) Quote

Slurpalicious! Quote
tredders Posted April 17, 2010 Posted April 17, 2010 I was just about to say that I'll be there (albeit very briefly, as I have to now drive to Glasgow tomorrow PM for an early Monday meeting, thanks to my flight being cancelled), but OldGit has beaten me to it. Bit of a shame to actually meet people from the forum in real life, as they'll find out that (a) I can't actually play like a genius combination of Jamerson / Entwistle / Bruce Foxton / Macca, and ( I don't actually look like Brad Pitt...
