that's my point.I know this is a joke,because I been thinking about taken a look @ Nino's basses for the last couple of years.Obviously you don't know the inside joke now![]()

Got to love drunk postingActually, after researching this I found that some guy named Nino was manufacturing bass necks and bodies and would then wholesale them to some guy in NY named Roger (last name unknown). This guy Roger would get the products painted (all they could come up with was a nick name of “Sweet Wilkins”, assembled with super secret electronics made by a person called “Aggie” (Gender unknown) and then marked up the prices and resold them to a company in Washington that operated as Turtle breeders. This company would then sand off all the finishes, stamp a turtle logo on the products and piece part the instruments to some Japanese guitar builder with an alias of “Al Telierzee” some where in the “Metro” Tokyo area. This person would then cut the instruments down to wood scraps and grind some down to sawdust and sell them to some companys in the US. The sawdust is believed to be part of a graphite neck blend that is used for some hi-end instruments and parts are believed to be sold by a parts supplier in Texes. Although they cannot fully trace this to an end source, the government does know the ringleaders name as “T. Bowlus Bassborg” and they have found a trace of rainbow shag carpet at one of the underground factories. Apparently, sources have comfirmed this as “Operation Wishbass”. Yah google it..

I'm not a supporting member anymore (gonna' change that soon), but someone better be getting on the ball with the hall of fame nomination. Oh, and someone send this to Roger, he might get a kick out of it!
