I've actually played this bass - it was one of the first ones (if not the first) that my local shop received for stock. It's terrific. That green finish is just amazing in-the-flesh, and that fingerboard...too cool for school. You're gonna' love it! |

It's every bit the sound I've been looking for! Yahoo! Thanks for all the great notes - I'm happy to join the tribe (or is it a cult?)! |

We *do* have cool basses, though....

You've helped Gard with the site. Don't tell me you've helped him with the "other" thing too?  
God Bless, Ray

...I'm requesting 100% pre-shrunk cotton. Still working out final details, should have the test print next week.
