I'd pay $100 to see Ed's face when he reads this thread. |

I didn't believe it for a minute! 
PS You know I'm joking on this right!

For a free evaluation (especially if the band director is under the impression that it IS either a Testore or Vuillaume), just send me the bass. If it does (as I already suspect) turn out to be a cheap imitation, I'll let you know and dispose of it here.
As far as choices for stickers, I would recommend the "I am a total idiot" or "Moron Warning". Also appropriate might be "No Time, No Ideas, No F**king Clue."

if your going to use stickers, use the static kling type, as they are removable later (in case you turn into "swing barbie" later.
also, if dad has the bucks, have a "goth double" made for you. order a special finish of flat black, and have them sharpen the ends of the f-holes |

Put Woody and Bullseye on and you can be Western Swing Barbie. I've always thought the hot rod flame paint jobs were a particularly classy way to decorate a bass - you could be Rockabilly Barbie. Or maybe you could leave the stickers off and be Respectful-of-the-Integrity-of-the-Instrument-and-Hundreds-of-Years-of-Tradition Barbie |  | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
