Are you becoming a "sitter", Reuben? |

At home there are times when the option of sitting means the difference between practicing and not, and anything that gets me to practice is good. As far as gigging with a stool, it's too much of a pain getting my gear around NYC without a stool, but there are certain gigs I do that are long, and not having to stand would be really great. I have an okay folding stool my wife found for me in Chinatown, but I just keep my eyes open for something better. That said, I haven't actually brought my own stool to a live gig in probably 10 years. |

Funny thing is it was a special request for the cherry color and now thats what I see on the ikea. What can I say looks like the manufacturer sold my goods to another, not the first time on that! Maybe I should pull the order......
I still do not have these in stock yet and I am waiting on my shipment of 500

I suppose if I ordered 5,000 at a time like ikea my price would be closer.. |

I've been watching your site for a while waiting for when they come in. I will happily pay a little more for a sturdier one from you & I think it is good business and good karma to support small businesses and bass people.
just my 2 cents |
