Oh boy...

I am absolutely smitten over those cocobolo-topped basses (the "Twins") and the one at perfectbass.com. WOW I need to hit the lottery. Something about that cocobolo with the high gloss laquer finish just looks so fine.

...and I'm spent.

Well, I guess I need to order one so you can see it in person, eh?

Hey, Gard - could you email me some coco top possibilities? Thanks!

GAS can be a wonderful yet terrible thing!

I'm with you though. Those twins are just something to look at!

It's funny - I've been down to G'boro several times in years past, totally unaware of how close I was to the Bass Mecca (apparently, a couple blocks away, according to Gard). I thought about checking out the GTG but I have a gig on the 20th. I'm not sure they'd let a Warwick player in anyhooooo.....

Maybe I'll score big in Atlantic City this weekend, come back home and poach me a Roscoe LOL!

(PS - I dig your avatar, Motet is killer)

Possible trademark infringement here? I'll have to check. . .

Of course all are welcome at the G2G! Come on down!

Yep, and to add sanctity to this event, his holiness "The Reverend Bishop Crash" will be presiding. Can I get an Amen brothers and sisters?

I will be bringing a special speaker with me, the Reverend Cleophus James.
