Still had my copy floating 'round.

I have a Contour 210 combo and that cabinet sounds great. I imagine the Focus 410 is even greater, can't imagine disappointment if you like a punchy 410. Reasonable weight.

Short scales sound great and can be real fun to play. I have a recurring issue with my left shoulder, so tried a few before settling on the one for me - the Acinonyx. I absolutely love it. Check one out if you can (no longer being made).

It would be a VW GTI for me (as it is and has been). Trailer hitch added. Minimalist fun with great utility, I've long considered them the perfect car for me

The Roberts book is great, and that giveaway Lakland always made me go, "wow!" I think it was on eBay a looong time back, unfortunately when I was poor!

I haven't played through one in ages, but I still remember how great the Henry sounded with an SWR Basic 350. That was a killer rig.

I've had my blueburst DR4 from new and it has always gobbled batteries.

Maybe something by Reverend would fit.

I just love how this little bass handles, balances, looks and sounds. It really is an incredible overall design.

Thanks for posting this, I have loved Joni for 50 years. Add me to the list of those dripping tears.
