No, he gave me the knobs.... I thought that that was what we were talking about, lol. Just normal wear and tear on the bass. I was trying to show people that I can do windmills faster than Pete Townsend and the whole thing flew apart. I fixed my one of only three Pentabuzzes in the world that was made with a birdseye maple neck, by some guy named Mike Pedulla, all by myself, with some glue and a pipe wrench. It's all good man! I can't believe that some people pay extra to have their guitars look all old and messed up. It's easy to do by playing it really hard.Did he drop it a few times?
