That's a good one! Tell you what, if you build me a wall of Fame like have have your beauties hanging on, I'll think about it.
I think I'm getting ready to thin the heard though, so my F basses will be getting lonely as they are the only ones that are safe. The rest, well, no play, no stay.
I'm more of a bass hoarder. I have difficulty imagining myself selling an instrument. I've only done this once to raise a little money to move across Canada.It would be easier to just buy another bass.
Thinning the heard can be a difficult thing. I'm down to almost exclusively Fbasses and there is still the odd time I miss one of my old babies. Fortunately I just pick up one of my Fbasses and that feeling goes away pretty quickly.It would be easier to just buy another bass.

It might not be all good news for us bassists. Last time I talked with him he said they were going to step up production of guitars, and that would be a priority. Hopefully the bass prototype is something earth shattering, but be cautiously optimistic.
I might hafta go back through my emails and try to recall some of the details on this. I do remember being told that part of the reason was the dwindling supply of high quality Gabon Ebony. They want to keep that supply for the AC basses. I totally get that. I can't remember if they were going to a different fingerboard wood or if making them shorter would solve the issues? Anyways, I was just about to reach out to Donovan and see what's up with my BNF, since ours should be close together on the production line...
