NE1 have a NS Cleveland in the CT area?

I put an email in to Arnold and Wes to see if I could head over on my day off Thursday, but they'd just shipped one out to Texas.

I've seen TB'ers offer to let someone have a go on their instruments, so I was wondering...

I'm about a month away from having one myself. If you don't hear from anyone else in the meantime, you're more than welcome to try mine when it's ready. I'm in New Fairfield.

update: it's a laminate. and I think it's Wil, not Wes. Hope that saves you some embarrassment!

That'd be great, thanks Mingus! I'm sort of glad that my wife has been my fiscal conscience and is making me save "gig money only" for getting a new bass. It's making me take my time and look into everything.

now I'm excited for you to get yours too. Hybrid or laminate?

Thanks Cam. I'm sure it will. Been a real busy summer so it doesn't seem like it's been that long anyway.
