I hope you get to do more of this work - perhaps part-time in the future. Otherwise it's such a waste of outstanding talent.

There isn't going to be any waste of talent if Brent never lays hands on another bass. He'll be expressing his talent in another endeavor. It just won't be us reaping the benefits. |

C'mon Jeff... you know we're are all biased here. Besides... pimping basses is a much rarer art than say...pimping cars...
That's what we need!! Talk MTV into starting a new series and let Brent do his magic on basses instead of having Xibit (or whatever that dude's name is) show off beat up civics!!!
Man.. never say "fretboard" over here unless you want a visit from Uncle Pauly. I saw that post coming and ducked immediately!

So, what exactly is the next endeavor for Brent Norton? |
