Hopefully it’s not in “Ze Collection” by Uwe in Germany...
He's not an evil lawyer though.
Public Service Announcement #2
So I sent a couple emails to Guitar Center Customer Service and Store Feedback about that '1976 Thunderbird Korina'. I exchanged a few emails with each department.
Today I received a phone call from a NYC area code, but didn't answer because it was long distance and an unknown caller. I just finished listening to the voicemail..... it was the manager at the store with that bass, saying that (Paraphrasing) "You are absolutely correct about that, and we are going to change it. Thank you for bringing it to our attention"
They actually admitted that they were wrong, and they are going to change it!!
End of PSA #2

About 10 days to two weeks away from getting my Cataldo. This is very good news to me 
Can't wait for him to try and talk his way out of that one.

Cool!
Hey... do you have, or know of a means to acquire a W/B/W T-bird truss rod cover?
Seen them on EBay quite frequently...

I believe JAT has some silver Top Hats with black numbers, which should work great with the chrome hardware....

Just had to post this. Some may not dig the tune, but it's more about the bass, player and tone. Gotta use cans for this.
Why do you qualify lawyer as evil? Do you work in the department of redundancy department?
I just visit the ATM machine sometimes.
We are not insane. We are mentally hilarious.

That "Evil Lawyer" is a great dude (I assume you are just joking about him being evil) and is indeed a lawyer. He has sent me tracings of Gibson bodies, truss rod tools, strings, and several other things and never asked for anything in return. I think he pays for most of the cost to run the Last Bass Outpost as well. But.....if he has that last 79 Bird it may be extremely difficult to pry it from his hands.
All knobs should go to 11.
