Pasadena. I don't remember where we met, but I remember your handle here. Not sure why. Anyway, you will enjoy that bass.

Thanks. I'm liking it already. Are we connected on Facebook? I see some paraprosdokians in your signature.

MarkusBass · #**304** 12-12-2012, 11:36 AM

Yes...welcome!

Nope, I don't do Social Media. I wanna say that it was at a Cook-off...

Paraprosdokians have more truth to them than people think.

Markus,

Is it that bad a head that you have to call it a headcase?

Ah! On my way!

N-ishBD!

Just got off the phone with Leo, a few updated things are in my future.

First: my DPLEII is coming back fixed up--it left the factory with high saddles years ago, they reshaped the pocket for me. I'll be playing it soon! Hopefully Friday...

Next: I'm going to be a shortie owner! Woo! I'm actually really excited about this... Leo found a SS neck that they used at NAMM years ago and offered it to me at a used price with warranty and stuff. Great! No wait!!! Plus it's gotta be one of the first, I'm assuming...that's cool.

It's going on my JO+darkstars formerly owned by Juan of the Mars Volta. I think it'll be quite the combo. The bass came to me with a bit of a beat up finish, from tour perhaps? And although it's cool because it's real road wear, I considered a refin. Lakland installs the SS necks (they refill and redrill the neck to fit the bass perfectly) so i figured, if it's already out there...why don't I have them send it off to Pat?

Attached is a photo of that bass and my decade...what color do you think would look good? Comes with a tort guard already...I'm gassing toward shell pink or something else sort of pastel colored (surf green, sonic blue etc...) but strongly leaning pink. Thoughts?

My only question is whether you're man enough to rock a SS shell pink? If so, I'd go for it.

haha I'd say yes!!! I wear pink and purple to work regularly. My last girlfriend insisted that this (and my bowties) actually make me look MORE masculine. She may have been lying to me, though. Haha!

MarkusBass · #**312** 12-12-2012, 04:01 PM

I say Shell pink would be awesome! Love my Coral Pink and am very comfy with my masculinity

lpcarter · #**313** 12-12-2012, 04:13 PM

Yeah, Markus!!! That bass almost swayed me coral. Looks GREAT!

MarkusBass · #**314** 12-12-2012, 04:17 PM

Thanks man! Really love it! Killer with the right tort!
