It is officially "available", and guess what: it's finished, and guess where it will be tomorrow afternoon????

Well...I figured that there would be TWO of you guys there at dinner, and there is a connection between this bass and the other individual as well...thought maybe you two could get into a bidding war over it...



...hopefully, it won't come to blows...

Yep, can't wait to meet him. Sounds like a very similar story to mine (he followed his bliss, which lead directly to peddling bass gear). I scooted out of telecom after 15 years of software development grind...

He's got a nice store, too. I might have more Roscoes, but he's definitely got way more of everything else (20+ bass brands? Buncha amp brands? Nice store!).

You guys will have to educate me in the art of selling amps online. I have zero success in that regard, with the exception of the Genz Benz Shuttle stuff.

As you know man, selling is all about trash talking.

"Cause in a way your selling yourself, not just brake pads"

Now Greg, can you sell a Ketchup Popsicle to a woman in white gloves?

God Bless, Ray
