that's because i'm in only one building on a base filled with buildings. i don't manage the internet connection because it's for the entire base. i do have a way to get past the filter, but it's a known thing and we're not supposed to keep it accessible.

Nice! Glad you have found THE bass for you! Soooo killer! The cracks...are they between the two woods?

OK, back from the gig (and I have to get up for work in 4 hours). I have to say, this is the best bass I've played in regards to feel and sound. It was perfect. It punched you in the gut while mixing in well. I dropped a few bombs with it, too (something from my bag of tricks) and it was like getting steam rolled. The sound guy from tonight was one I've worked with before and he came up to me at the end and said, "Whatever you did differently tonight, keep doing it because it was working."
Fat bottom, but still articulate. The flats work well on it. I don't know what else to say. You gotta hear it live, in the mix. If the chromes give it a little more cut, I'll give them a shot. Maybe I'll have time to head north a little and buy a set before tomorrow's gig.

One thing concerned me. By the end of the gig, I noticed tiny little cracks (?) in the fingerboard. It was very humid, so maybe it was from that. Maybe it's no big deal since they're tiny. I want to get in touch with Carl and find out the deal. If I need, I'll get the fingerboard epoxied, but I'd prefer not to.

All in all, this is it for me... I kind of want to order another one. Ya know, a backup or something. Either identical or very similar. It's a dilemma, a Callowhill 5-string or another DJ-Sonic Fretless.

I was hoping for the "this bass is not for me and I'm trading with Ferg" review :D
