I just bought a gator case that fit my head and tuner perfectly. I was stoked. The our lead guitarist say, "Hey, I'm not using my old rack compressor and it works 10 times better than that old POS stomp compressor, why don't you use it?" CAUSE I DON'T WANT TO SPEND ANOTHER $180 on a new case!!! so, now I have a free floating head that I have to be careful with since I don't want to damage someone else's stuff. Maybe I will try my hand at making my own case out of wood.

I hate getting free stuff too. Not the prettiest bass or the best pic, but...

You should tell me how you got that free bass.

No worries. Send me the bass. I'll pay for shipping.

Haha how did you get that bass? If you don't want it, I would possibly buy it.

Friend of mine owned it, did a refin, and didn't like the refin he did (although it was far better than my attempt). He came to a gig of ours and said he'd let me use it on an "indefinite basis". The first gig he came to that I used the bass for the whole show he said, "what the hell, keep it. No strings attached." I asked him what the catch was, he said, "nothing, just play the hell out of it."

It took some time to get used to the SR sound but it's grown on me. I tried Chromes on it and fell in love with the sound. We just recorded our first CD and I used that bass throughout...mmmmmmmm...nice!

Sorry for the thread hijack...

Nice story and thanks for sharing.

Anyone got a 6 space gator or SBK case they would free cycle or cheap-cycle? Or reasonable price cycle? I tried the classified here and they were all sold.
