pantherairsoft Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 Thanks to Mark for opening his doors to us today, being a wealth of information, being truley passionate about his basses and for putting on the munchies for us! Thanks to mcgraham for the lift! Nice to meet everyone else that came, and was greatto see a few more W&T's in the flesh... But I have to say... I'll stick with my GB and Roscoe Untill the next mini-bash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ancient Mariner Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 Likewise, great to meet people and hear them (are you SURE bass isn't an Olympic sport?). Most of the basses I saw were gorgeous, but so far above any kind of budget I might have for a while that they didn't induce GAS at all! Now the amps on the other hand...... Thanks, Mark, for opening up on a Sunday for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ped Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 I managed to break a sensor valve on my wheel as I was preparing to leave. Had to go all the way back to Maidenhead to get the locking wheel nut (I know, I know) so basically didn't get that sorted until 4ish. Ballache.

birdy Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 Highly enjoyable couple of hours. Very impressed with the W&T's - much better playability than I remembered and lovely tones too!! Again, nice to meet everyone and thanks to Mark for opening and the nibbles/refreshments. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark's place is fantastic. So much temptation A few pics. Sorry, seems I didn't capture everyone who attended.
