You've gone through more basses than 99% of the people here, but I still wonder why you ever sold that Dragonfly PJ. That one would have been a Keeper for me for sure.


FWIW, here's a pic I took last night of the shipping damage to the Dawgfish.

It's pretty deep, but it doesn't affect playability since it's so high up the fretboard (18th fret). Still, the lesson I wish to learn (and pass on to my fellow fishermen) is the importance of putting something like newspaper between the strings and the fretboard when shipping, especially when the bass is not in a hard case.
The Dawgfish has a scar, but is ready for action -- any time, anywhere.
Looks like I'm going to have to pull the pots though. They just won't come clean no matter what I use.![]()

feeling better?

Barely. Strep Throat & Mono!
Good thing I didn't invite you over this weekend...
I'm expecting a Dragonfly PJ to be arriving today! I wonder if it's the same one...
It sdeems likely that it would be the same one; it'll be interesting to see!
