I'm out in Anaheim CA at the NAMM show, checking out all the latest bass toys.
Spent the evening at the Dude's party (The Dude Pit at
http://pub41.ezboard.com/bthedudepit and where I have a double bass forum) and chatted with John Turner, and met his lovely new wife.
He suggested I say hello to you and tell you that you all have too few strings on your basses.
