For the longest time I thought that top pic was your friend in Germany!

Ah well, that's the real me.

Here's Uwe with a Ripper prototype. I have to say that he's an extraordinarily kind and wonderful guy, I'm very fortunate to have made his acquaintance.

So, how do you like the sound of your new Dano?

I'm curious too having never played one of these light-weight Dano's. I used my Coral Deluxe Bass at TSC's rehearsal last night and fell in love with it all over again. I leave my Teiscobird at our rehearsal space that I usually use.

I've never played a solid body "Danny El' Lectro" I wonder what difference the "tonewoods" have if any...

I really like it and playability is top notch. The sound is like nothing I’ve heard before, which leaves me with the question of which genre it fits. I think @GBassNorth has it right with C&W. To me has that early CCR hollow body sound.
 
There's more than one shot of the man!

Looks like Chuck is desperately trying to explain that he really doesn't know where it "misplaced" your '64 in his house. "Look V, it was right here a minute ago. Honest, I don't know where it went. But it's not in the house under a bed or anything if that's what you're thinking. Have you looked in Marshall's car?"

(Sorry Marshall. Somebody had to be the fall guy!)

He’s pointing to the ‘64 over yonder.
