Today was a good day.
The Long Story:
I am trying to build my own bass in a public workshop. They open on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 4 to 8pm. I was yesterday there. I usually rehearse with my band Thursdays after 9, that means I had time to kill in between, so I went to a local store that is aptly named "rare guitar". I drank a beer and talked to the owner, he told me he had just bought a collection of instruments from a recently deceased musician and he was cataloging it for his web page. I went behind the counter to look at his monitor and then it hit me: There was a picture of a marvelous Nature Gibson RD Standard, the RD has always been one of my unicorns, I recently regretted passing on a Krist Novoselic RD reissue. But this was the real deal! And the price was reasonable (although I don't have any money right now). The owner told me the bass was already in the showroom and I went right away and took it from the wall. It is almost impeccable!
So I told him that I'd be there today if he would accept one of my jaguars as a down payment.
And here it is:
Is there a club?

How's your shoulder feeling? If there's a club, I want in too (gotta get pics).
