wow man... this must be really important to you. Would it make you feel better if I placed a gold star by your name?

Naw, I worked through it. Coffee kicked in. Was up way too late doing a session by committee. Musta made me cranky

 

[WillieB]

I might have to start a new thread ...... Whats the most number of basses you've bought in one day/week.

 

[dukeorock]

Uncommon good looks ?

Devastatingly handsome, some would say

 

[JJR58]

Uncommon good looks ?

, uncommon, yes, good looks, that's open for debate.

 

[WillieB]

Is there anything more enjoyable then to be an Enabler for the purpose of getting someone to buy something that you know you and they would love .... well ... primarily you!

 

[theFixer]

Oh...

I’ll just console myself with this delicious cup of coffee I just made with my only REAL friend, Hank. Hank is our cat. I hate him, the girl loves him, so he gets to live. Man, been a tough morning for friendships :/

Well... you just claimed to hate the thing you call "your only REAL friend". Maybe the problem isn't out here Mark. Maybe the problem is in there (you know what I'm talking about).

You on a bass buying spree, Willie?

 

[JJR58]

Funny... if memory serves... he was givin' you sh!t about your pathetic attempt at enabling, the same time I was!

Find it, prove it!

Man, when you put it that way...really makes me rethink everything.

Just kidding, I hate that cat
Ok, ‘hate’ is a strong word, let me rephrase. Thinking. Nope, I hate that cat

(bill clinton voice on) it depends on what the definition of "spree" is ( voice off)

I have a brand new Ric 4003 arriving today .... is to arrive well in advance of the wife's coming home ..... until she text'd me and said her late meeting was cancelled and she'll be home early! *** .......

wow ... you can't type what the fudge on here

 

[theFixer]

Thanks, Larry! Nice to know someone around here has a sense of fairness and some kindness left in their heart

That's not kindness. That's a steaming pile of crap! I don't cotton to no candy@ss "everyone gets a trophy" bullsh!t!

In all seriousness, I do think that’s a terrific price on a fantastic bass with amazing pickups. You did good, Willie!

 

[WillieB]

holy poop .... ups just pulled up !

I’ve had some bad timing issues with bass deliveries myself. So far, the girl has been a good sport but I know I’m pushing my luck

You really gotta stop hanging out with Vince

 

[dukeorock]

holy poop .... ups just pulled up !

YES!

 

[Gaolee]

hahaha funny as hell ! I think this crowd suits me to a T BIRD yuk yuk yuk (rimshot) try the veal I'll be here all week.

Well, a 'Bird did choose you. If you aren't a little, uh, oh, never mind.

 

[Gaolee]

Several of us have experience doing that. It's a very satisfying occupation.

 

[theFixer]

Michigan brother though and through!

But I mean, outside of doing what he did, how else could he be more of an enabler? Gun to the head yelling, "BUY IT!"

Enabling takes focus and dedication. All he said was, "nice pups, nice bass, great deal". That's nothing more than expressing and opinion (or in this case... stating facts). "Enabling" involves an individual who has expressed interest or need in a given bass, amp, etc. and chiseling away at their resistance and/or hesitation. It's deeply personal, and sometimes, even emotional. Your photos serve only to show how deficient his skills are (it's quite sad really)... but he's a stellar poster boy for the cause, and he tries in earnest. What more can we ask for

 

[Gaolee]

A Ric and a 'Bird are a fine combination.

 

[JJR58]

A Ric and a 'Bird are a fine combination.

I can testify to that.
