BTW, I had a chance to watch a bit of your interview on "The Lowdown Show; George Kitta". Very cool to hear you talk about your basses and some of the history of your music making. I knew most of your history in Chicago and your other bands from here at TB, but still a cool interview. Have to wait to hear the rest as I'm unable to listen to it while editing with VO. 
Was enjoying seeing the heart shaped tuners on the first bass you showed.

The whole thing is cool but that tortellini has great coloration/patterns.
That guard is special and the black & gold combo is nice. I’m at a loss on what the circle thingy is on the left horn.

So many cool things about that bass - it's a '60s Framus. The G-side piece of scratch-plate was cut off and a similar piece grafted on. I very much doubt that round microphone screen looking thing is original, whatever it does/represents.

Thanks so much - my graphic-designer friend Andrew recently helped update my site and he did such a great job! Yes, I felt good about that interview - Frank was so easy to have a conversation with because he was genuinely enthusiastic. It was during Covid lockdown, when this sort of thing (ZOOM) went mainstream. At that point Cherie hadn't re-started Bond Girl after a brief hiatus. We're back full-steam, I just returned from a rehearsal tonight learning/rehearsing new material. Enjoy the rest!
The website looks great. One of the first things I noticed.
I completed watching the rest of the interview last night and one of the cool things was how enthusiastic you were about your basses. Infectious!!!
My favorite Lakland.
I’m in loooooove with it. But don’t wanna derail this well-focused thread with non-distressed banter.

Thanks for your kind words! Now if I could only figure out a way to 'infect' people to purchase my custom basses!
