Yeah I'm just glad the feds didn't find out about Roscoe's collection of endangered Koa, uh, I mean, "Greenwall hit the lights, quick the light switch on the wall behind you, flick it, quick!"

Here's Cliff, staring down Gard. He shakes off his catcher once, twice, settles in. Here comes the pitch....oooh, it's a hanging curve and Gard punishes him with an upper deck shot to right.

I almost choked on my chicken sandwich!

I wonder if those Koa critters have any issues with splinters? That could hurt!

It seems like poetic justice considering everything Gibson has done to try to destroy so many good bass lines:

Steinberger, Tobias, Trace Elliot, any others?

Sell anything bass related to Gibson, and they'll destroy it.

Why is the wood illegal to import? Strictly because of the endangered species thing or more political?
And I wonder if this isn't more about Gibson's scheme of importing it, possibly skipping on some tariffs or something.

God Bless, Ray

Gibson screws up....... sadly nothing new, how they're still in business, I don't know.




Oh, and Gard, that solid madagascar Roscoe with elephant ivory inlays, uh, we better cancel that, for the time being.......
