I'd like to report an underhanded, ( as Don Z says concerning German Bass Bows) tasteless move by Bob Gollihur. I'd call this nothing less than a Political Pay-off!
After talking up Bob's great $150 (or so) Brazilwood bows,
(see ' Another Gollihur kudo 'under the Bows and Rosin' Forum heading) I suggested him sending me a little something for my time. In a post, he asks if i'm "still on Welch St.?" I, of course said " No Bob, I was just kidding...please don't do that. I did happen to mention something about him sending me a new 5 string bass to "take the place of that old one I have" as another poster put it.
Well, I open my door this afternoon to find a box on my front porch from Gollihur Music. And inside? A coffee mug with the Gollihur BASS logo on it and saying: Life is too short for bad tone., as well as one of them Gollihur BASS decals! 
Can you believe this? No 5 stringer!! A mug and a decal!
What nerve! To make matters worse, he includes a note saying: Find enclosed a five string bass mug.
Of course i'm kidding....I had to let you guys know that we can all depend on Bob's great service and a little class once in a while to boot!
Thanks Bob!

I've got one on each vehicle (of 2), but here in WI I keep getting asked where I get the BASS (as in fish) stickers. Go figure. |

I guess I should re-title this thread: Where do you put your Gollihur BASS stickers ?

Clearly, I'm sending waaaaay too much money to New Jersey. Not that I'm complaining, though! |

I tried to get some lessons with Dave last year, but he was too busy at the time. Absolutely wonderful player. I ended up studying with Jim Vivian who is great as well. |

As he gets to higher positions, his fingers actually grow LONGER. It's true. We measured his fingers last summer and concluded they were as long as a NBA player's thigh.
Adrian, Dave will again be teaching at the Cammac camp this summer. |
