Jeeze, I hate that ****.
I found a great Neuner and Hornsteiner at a guitar shop a few years ago (Busetto). Painted and carved with "I (heart) Jesus" up by the button....rescued that baby and had Bob Ross restore 100%. Now being played by a fine Denver area classical bassist.
Too bad, but just have a luthier get that out. No big deal if you care about the bass.

Id be more interested in seeing if any of those symbols have significance. |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Jan 2001 Location: Brooklyn, NY | | | Jazz, it was casually directed at you, in part, but moreso towards a series of postings directed Paul's way that were somewhat disparaging in nature. What I've been noticing are quite a few people who are less familiar members to the forum taking some rather cheap shots at one of our most distinguished members, Mr. PW. These range from the minor, such as yours to more severe... |

P-Dub is a doody-head.
Edit: Also, although a google search results in apparently-misspelled *beige* hits, I'm pretty sure Paul is totally biege.
