The jamming went well![/b]
I loved that guitar, and my Doctor Q pedal was a HOOT with it!

Thanks Dave for setting up and Minton for playing some KILLER drums!

I have a few photos and maybe a minute or so of video I'll try to post something tonight.

John I loved that fretless. Kwesi I didn't get to play that 6 string Spector and I wanted to. LOVED the Ritter. 35" B string really does have a certain tight feel to it that I like. My Axcelerator has the same kind of sharp B string. The Brice B is flop city, but works well enough.
 
Um... I beg to differ. I loved that thing. Actually it makes me want to install a ramp on my Brice. What's involved?

I brought a Tacoma Thunderchief, a couple Peaveys, and my Brice.

Thanks for the compliment on the MTD.

A ramp is pretty simple. If you are going to do it yourself, just find a piece of wood, make your measurements, radius it (if you want), sand, finish, buff and slap that beast on with some double sided tape. I know it is much more complicated than that, but since I have never built one from scratch I just guessed at how I would do it. I am sure Wilser (yes, I just volunteered you) would do one for you.

You know what they say? "Once you go ramp you never go back." :rollno:
 
I just brought one:

Pretty sure I win the prize for oldest bass, 39 years.
And the prize for bass with the lowest original purchase price, $50 (in 1970 dollars). I bet even that cardboard box cost more than that, right, Jong? :p

Tell you what, I had a hard time going to sleep last night, thinking about all those beautiful instruments! GAS-related insomnia, aargh! :D Thanks to all for bringing out your "babies".
