yeah, so IF you ever change the rules to benefit me, don't tell anyone... I do not want to think there is a possibility I am abiding by any rules...LOL

It hasn't started yet. I have to entertain myself so I stay away from the free drinks.

I'm at a Ladies Night show at Bar Louie with PA!
stay away from the drinks? NO, drink up. Drunken posting would be entertaining (for the rest of us)
yeah, Um, what I said above goes for you as well
And...... We have our first CWB bass encounter on the trip.
Chicks squared with bass...and bassist.

Is this one of those "cobbler's children have no shoes" stories?
something isn't right here...CWB are out having fun, and I am at home, working in my garage
at least I am painting a bass...not a total waste of time

Bassist for the band Ladies Night out of Saginaw, MI. Nice guy. I might let him have crackers.

If you'd stop declining invitations, you could be here with us. You could take the pictures for us.
word. I was thinking the same thing.
I'm not even painting a bass...I guess I could go practice.

Hey Everyone!
Been away for a while because the end of the school year is always a bit hectic and I've been swamped with other jobs. Looks like everyone is having a blast and being devilish as always
I wanted to share some NBD news with my MoCWB and CWB peeps! But first let me say that Donovan of Fretspot.com was absolutely amazing to work with in every aspect of this purchase. He was always a pleasure to speak with and he went out of way to make sure that I was completely satisfied. I very highly recommend purchasing from him.
Ok so...
This last year I cleared out my modest sized collection with the exception of two Modulus basses. In the process I ordered two basses to complete my setup ( and lessen the pain of parting with my gear and the memories)
So here is the first one to arrive!!!
Fodera Emperor 5 Standard
slap, pop, and tap like a butterfly
double cut
deep flame
obligatory happy customer shot
It arrived on Wednesday and I had to give it a setup thanks to FM's FedEx man ( actually probably his cousin or something)! Thursday I took it to practice and played it for about 4 hrs. It felt like I've owned it forever. The sounds cover basically every Fender-ish / Musicman sound you could ever want, but with a clarity, richness and depth I never found in other basses over the years.
Honestly, even though it felt great and sounds amazing, I was slow in the warming up to it because I've played graphite - carbon fiber neck basses for the last 12 years or so. But, after playing it acoustically for a couple hours, my thoughts are that they are absolutely incredible basses.
Is it worth the scratch?... meh, I'd like a matching headstock and a choice of hardware finish for this price.
As far as playability and sound go they are worth every penny in my book. This will be my last fretted 5 string unless something happens to it.
Some specs for those that are interested:
34" scale
19mm ( I've pushed it out to around 20mm )
ash body, bicolored flame maple top
pau ferro board, 1/4 sawn 1 piece rock maple neck bolt-on
Fodera Dual coil pickups. ( the single coil sound just kills)
Pope 3 band pre.
10 lbs
I'll post some clips as my summer opens up a bit. Still transitioning from school insanity to my summer to do list
