Hi Tim, great spec's. I'll always remember your MG6, it was a fine bass, but I think you've nailed it this time;)

Easy..

MG6 order is basically what I want from Fodera back to 3 years ago and see how it goes... While this emperor bolt-on 6 is more like my voice and needs. This one gonna stay with me for life long I believe.
 
Did a fun event last night sponsored by Washingtonian Magazine and got to play some cool laid back stuff. Claudia and Amber (Fodera and NS) hangin next to my stool.

Mine are actually written into my will, with each of my kids getting to select one (luckily they have VERY different preferences), one going to a museum, two going to the Shop's museum (assuming we have one by then!) and the remainder as part of my general Estate...hopefully all way, way, way in the future!!

I actually considered having all of my basses cremated with me, but that would be a waste and disservice so society. Most likely I will just pass them down to my kids/grandkids if they play bass. If not, to my students.
 
My kids are musical but don't play stringed instruments. I'd like to think they'd wish to remember the old fart by hanging onto at least one instrument...But then why miss out on "loads a money"!:Di:D
