    Hey good morning TB.

    This past year has been one of the most difficult of my life.
    However, I am able to get up every morning, I am able to work, and in the evening I am lucky enough to come home to someone I love very much.

    Reflecting on this good fortune, I have decided that I want to do something small as a "thank you" to the universe :)

    Dean Edge in Classic Black: http://www.musiciansfriend.com/bass/dean-edge-09-4-string-electric-bass-guitar--mahogany-finish/519941000001000?src=3WWRWXGP&gclid=CLWnoeKHqrgCFUmk4Aodeh4AfQ&kwid=productads-plaid^34105731962-sku^[email protected]^PLA-device^c-adid^14207112842

    It sounds and plays just fine, but honestly I won't use it as my primary instrument since I have access to a host of other basses.

    If you know of someone who:
    1. Is a good person
    2. Wants to learn how to play bass (or is musically inclined)
    3. You think they will actually stick with learning how to play

    then please send me a PM with just a couple of details about them and I'd be happy to send them this free bass :)

    I'm thinking it will be someone's son/daughter or just a good neighborhood kid who is saving his/her pennies for a start-up bass...they can keep their piggy bank intact and still get a head start on being the next big thing :D

    Thanks basscraiger :)

    Things are great...they were always good in some way I guess, it was just tough for a time to find the positivity in anything. Changed all that, onward and upward :)

    This is excellent. I really hope it goes to the right person and just not someone making up a story to get a free bass.

    Great job on you part Rumblefisher!
