Right, well I've written it on the calendar in the kitchen in pen. This is as close to setting something in stone as it gets in our house.

Have booked the venue from 12.45 till 5.15.
No problems with people bringing refreshments....just have to take empties away etc.
Ill Put a "Private Function" sign on the door.

Also, I had most of the bits ready to work with, so it wasn't too much drama to throw it into the batch.
So, here it is... the official Radian Bass:
The body is one-piece of NZ grown alder, complete with bizarre flecks, swirls and stains. Even a tiny hint of flame in some spots. Finished is satin lacquer all over for silky smooth feel.
Jazz bass sized neck - a little narrower than the usual P-bass neck and a fairly common wish-list thing for P-basses.
The Ash P-Bass pickup is fairly traditional, but has extra magic tricks up its sleeve. The tone knob has a push-pull switch that brings a brighter, clearer tone out of the pickup to get a bonus tone a little closer to Jazz bass territory.
Persons of a Wellingtonian persuasion will be able to try it for themselves at the Welly Fest. Slash-Ed will be the custodian of the Radian Bass.
Of course it's for sale... never been gigged, why so cheap. PM me for info if you want it or one a bit like it.
