I checked back through the thread, all the way back to May 19!
Two whole months missing.
This story made my morning!

Nowhere near as much as it made my morning, not to mention Pat Wilkins. This whole thing was tearing him up, he’s never had an instrument go missing, in decades of business building and finishing guitars and basses. I was very happy to send him the email with the news.
That’s some serious green there! Would it blind you with a black light shining on it? I’m like flashing man!
Available on Reverb.
I just want to lick it! It looks delicious!

I bought my Spector Fretless from Ish. I wonder if they’ll take an exchange for some credit
I’ve been loving my Dingwall Droc a lot more and more. I’m really digging this sound. It works well with one of bands songs.
After spending the last few weeks on my little Guild guitar-scale acoustic bass, I played my passive ABZ-5 this weekend.
It felt ike coming home after a long absence. 9 years later, this thing still feels like an extension of my body- just like it did the first time I picked it up. Hectic gig, and I was having trouble concentrating. As always, it was if the bass knew the way home, and it was like being on autopilot.
Thank you Sheldon and team, for everything you do!

Been playing more metal lately, apparently people think I can do that well 
... I finally discovered the awesomeness of the middle + bridge in series pickup setting.
I'll be honest, that was my least favorite of the NG pickup combinations until last night. Now I get it. It took a little more tweaking with the DG pre than I'm used to doing, but man oh man.. that's some metal & rock toanz if I've ever heard them. I typically use the pre to just give a little boost or whatever, but it works wonders on that tighter, mm-style pickup configuration to shape your tone.
So you guys weren't crazy.... noted.
(J/k - you all have given me a ton of helpful advice when i've asked. Very appreciative)

Congrats, that looks fantastic, I had to read back, nice to see Pete helped you there too, he is an old friend of mine. (well not as old as me haha)
I dig the colour, I been sort of gassing for a D-Roc 5 string for some reason.

I never was into green basses, but some of the finishes that Sheldon has done have turned my head. That is a beauty.

That setting also works really good with all kinds of drive/fuzz. And it's imo the best one for dub bass tones.
