Yes, from Neville at Mr Music. He's an absolute pleasure to do business with.

Amazing right? I was chuffed with mine. They are better than all the Fenders I’ve ever played and they not even Lakland’s top tier.
Well, better than all Fenders apart from foal30’s 70’s p bass. That is the best bass I’ve ever played - if I recall correctly it’s also the only instrument I’ve ever actually asked to buy on the spot when it wasn’t for sale.

Got this from a second hand store in New Brighton c.2004
Very resonant instrument. Light/medium weight. Will need a refret at some point (soon)
Loves flatwound and valves. Plays nicely with pedals. A good buy but never really used it for gigging much.
