Good golly!

Markus beat me again!!!!

Grasshoppa!!

 

[MarkusBass]

it's called "auto forum filler".....you ever notice how, once in a while, Markus' posts just seem to be phrases or words slapped together with little or no meaning?

well - you set this program up to catch certain words on a forum and then the automated system responds with key phrases and words like "Hell to the Yeh!" and such

its all automated you see....you see....you see....
(oops - computer glitch!)

huh what some green jump fart

Wheeeewooo!
Finally, after about 3 frickin months, it's finally in my hands.
I was pretty surprised to find it already had a pearloid pickguard on it. Do they do that stock from the factory? Still has the vinyl cover on the pg, too.

(can I get a number?)
Plays pretty damn good, but I'm still getting used to the new feel. After all, I am graduating from a Squier. I bet it'll play like a dream in a few days. Gonna have to replace the funky strings with some DR fatbeams, too.

Time for a family shot! I was in quite a hurry so the photo came out like crud. I'll take some proper shots when I learn to use my camera properly...

so - worth the wait??? NO - they do not come stock with pearloid guards so you are one lucky son of a gun!

as for the P/J.....that is a Squire? pretty nice color....maybe you need to replace it with a LOG bass (same color - but a Lakie with thumpin' Chisonic pickups).....

Happy Graduation!!!!

damn dougie, thats pretty sweet!!! you must be lovin it.

i like the plain neck, i think too much birdseye on that would take away from the rest of it.

Thank you! actually, after looking at it for a while I totally agree with you!!!

she plays like a dream!!!!

 

[basspraiser]

Very nice, Doug. Looks amazing.

As a point of clarification, what would the model number on this be? Skyline or US based?

It is a 55-07 US all the way!

you can get one if you order a 55-07.....

only trouoble is, my guitarist said I have too many natural/wook grained basses...he says I need a different color so he can keep them straight!!

 

[basspraiser]

+1! Love it ! I'm not a big Birdseye fan actually

The black guard sets it off nicely!

1) I AM A fan of BEM but Matty is right!

2) I agree!!!

 

[basspraiser]

Not that you ever would....but let me know if you lose your mind and want to sell this thing, I would jump on it!!!!!...Beautiful Bass Doug - Congrats Man I'm happy for ya!

well....IF I ever do lose my mind or IF you "get a bass I cannot refuse" I will let you know.....

 

[basspraiser]

Ah....good to be home and to wave again!!!!

Off to the LOG web site to see what damage I can do there...

OK - I guess not...looks like it is still down...off to read some of 14!

 

[basspraiser]

Just saw Markus' photoshop of Evans bass....

OMG!!!!!

Jedi:

"But, I've always been a "BOTTOM MAN". I am a bassist afterall."

Must "run in the family".....me to......gotta get a little tush (as ZZ top would say!)!

KNowing that Leo was so anxious to make it a 5-76, I wonder if he would give me a good deal on a CHi so I can make my 4-76 a 4-77 (76 with a Chi)

The summer is tooooo far away. Damn oversights! Since my DJs will be keepers (I hope), I need to name them. It's rare that I get rid of a bass I name (poor ivy... how I miss you). My JOs are Tracy and Anya. I'll figure something out.

"Cool story!
I testify that, when I was at that age, I was too shy to get young beautiful ladies who were interested in young musicians (I played bass already). It's only now that those girls confess every now and then they had eyes open on me. That is pleasant but not anywhere as great as the fact that, ten years from that, the one most beautiful among them wakes me up every morning with a kiss. We're celebrating a year tomorrow!

Sorry about your toes.

P.S. I totally missed this part: "who had a killer @55". could you please explain"

you made me cry man!!! (well NOT REALLY) but cool story.................your wife was looking over your shoulde rand you HADDA clear things up...right?
