| | | | Paul, several people tried talking to him. He asked for honest opinions. Ever have someone ask for your opinion and then get mad when he didn't like what you said ? |

Ken, this was absolutely just a joke. That's why I used the wink. I guess I should have added "JK" as well. I picked you because I figured with your long running business as a bass luthier, it would be obvious. I mentioned the Gilkes because you bring it up enough in your posts that I know you must love the sound.
For the record, "I was just kidding about Ken becoming a guitar player." |
