Simon,
 
You are 30 miles from Cheshire but you have certainly got the grin!
 
Congratulations on the bass, very pretty.
 
Just remember to take it off before you step in the shower

congrats Simon. That's one bass I'd love to see in person. Maybe we can get Stevie Williams to reinstate the manchester Bass Day so we can all get together.
