I was looking up another acronym under "Acronym Dictionary" and remembered to check on it(I hadn't for awhile). There 'twas.

Where is that? I looked under Rules/FAQs => TalkBass acronyms.

Nah. I googled "ETA"[Edit To Add]. "Acronym Dictionary" came up-with definition. That's where I had submitted "FSO"-and sorta forgot about.

Saw them open for Bon Jovi (lol, we went for the women!) in Miami back in '93. He had his Pro-V then. They were very good.

PinkBird is on the way to Seattle. I hope UPS doesn't do their worst.

UPS has it. All it has to do is cross the country and the get chromed back out. You can sure see the wear in the underlying bass through the new paint. That's fine with me. It's not brand new, just refinished. I'm very happy the serial number is still completely visible.

The '01's paint is getting dull in places, and the back is wearing where pocket rivets dig in. The damage isn't intentional, just proof it's well loved. This one will be like that soon enough.

I will have to learn to dress better. It will leave me for Veronica if I'm not careful.

All my gig shirts are worn untucked-minimal damage on rear of 52 y/o bass.

No damage to the rear of this 59 y.o. The bass, however, seems to get dented by the rivet whether my shirt is tucked in or not. Worse when I'm being all uptight and neat, of course, but a t-shirt doesn't seem to prevent wormholes in the back of the mahogany body.

I prefer Milky Way Midnight(the old Forever Yours.)It's a Milky Way with Dark chocolate. Mmmm.

That's looking great, Will, are you having it shipped to your office? It's an easy walk to my work if you want to drop it off with me

No stock pickups on any of them, I "think" the S/B Reverse and the Pelham Blue NR are Gibson, the rest are perhaps ESP. The Pink one with the reversed headstock is pretty cool!

Yep, it's coming to the office. I'll be hiding it!
