Well thanks all you guys, it makes me feel a lot better about spending my life savings to know I have in fact bought a nice one !
Its a real revelation and a dream to play, anyone want to buy a fretless stingray?
Jazzyvee I'm practically in the West Midlands (well Herefordshire) and you can see our gig list at (band website) if you want to come and have an ogle...

Aaarrrgh , I have a gig on Saturday in Hornchurch with Musical Youth or I may have made that trip to catch you. But I guess i'll have to wait a bit longer.

I have to agree with bassjigga . . . I never thought walnut was a great wood choice.  Your guitar however, is breathtaking.  Congrats on having this one in your tent, Rolty.  Play it loud and proud!    Tony
