Yes Caesar is here and doing well all things considered, thank you. All the donations raised by the fund raiser bass I raffled off at the Alleva-Coppolo Bassacre TM went to Pivatol BioSciences Inc. . They have what they believe is a cure for cancer... just as many claim. The CEO actually spent some time at the show and not only explained his "cure" but was open to my grilling questioning. He was very sincere about his cause. He also seemed very awake on how the world is and agreed with me on the politics behind/regarding big pharma. Early in the conversation I asked him if he had a patent or TM on his "drug" and his answer was no, and he added that he didn't want one, he just didn't want to see anyone suffer the way his mom had; she past away from Cancer many years ago. Now havin said that I don't believe his method can be patented as it is a natural accuring substance, which he also agreed and agian stressed that he didn't care if everyone on the planet was able to create their own "cure" based on his ingredients- he just doesn't want anyone or any animal to suffer and die from cancer. Later on in the conversation I mentioned if he truly had a cure he'd be in for a lot of trouble and a big battle, as their is no money in a cure and big pharma, and the money behind them would never allow a cure to happen. I also mentioned Dr. Burzynski who actually has a proven cancer cure naturally synthesized at his facility in Houston who has been indicted at least 13 times by the FDA and big pharma-all cases thrown out by the way but tied the man's time and funds. The CEO was totally aware of the Dr. in Houston I spoke about and not only is raising funds to continue his research to test his method on humans but knows that he'll probably have to prepare for his own indictment(s). The point of all of this besides the obvious is that I wanted to be 100% sure that the funds raised were going to the right place. Thanks again for asking Andrew and thank you to those who read this post. -Jimmy

The RA arrived just as I was making breakfast - needless to say, breakfast was delayed by quite a long time :)

Really lovely bass, great tight focussed tone and a delight to play.

Totally agree - busy day today & little time to eat (or drink!).

First up the RA arrived, then a custom build Fender J '60 in, very, heavy relic finish from a local custom builder that I really rate.

Then a pair of Fender J's needed assessing for originality - a lovely light sunburst '64 which was all original apart from body & neck refin plus a refret and a heavily modified cherry red '71 with all gold hardware which was also pretty cool.

Happy days :hyper:
