    Re: Shoe's Got a New Baby

    She fits and RC said he got tickled when he saw me pull the third string sharp with my ring finger without thinking about it in the store (I'm still working on hand strength) so I doubt I'll want anything else. I've been running scales on my Bronco and excercises so I guess I really do have the bug.

    The deal was too sweet and the money came in and I'm silly but damn, she's beautiful with an awesome sound and feel.

    I pick her up tonight.

    Yeah, the S1 switch plus the price plus well there's no description for the call is there?

    I could walk away but I kept coming back. RC says I could easily sell her again for what I paid for her (like I'd want to).

    Now we need an amp...

    ... and a gig bag with shoes to match.

    It is a super sweet bass.

    No amp yet. She laid in bed last night coughing and hacking while looking at the available tolexes and leathers for a Mesa Boogie Walkabout Scout.

    Word to the wise...... when getting a finger stuck for a white count at the doctor's office.... DO NOT let them stick your left middle finger.

    Yes. Yes. Yes. Right through that newly acquired callous I've been working on.

    I always tell them to draw blood, inject me, whatever in the right arm. "But you're right handed" they say. "Yeah, I know, but I'm a guitar player. Just use the right arm, thank you very much".

    Yeah, maybe I can actually play it this weekend without keeling over?

    I have a tuner, case, and a couple fun straps coming. It never ends, does it?

    At the very least, I think I have lipstick to match.

    Re: Shoe's Got a New Baby

    Frank asked about straps in another thread. I've ordered two from music123.com just to have something to practice with. They haven't come in yet, but I figured since I needed a decent case and was ordering anyway, why not. If and when I really gig, I'll probably go with a comfort strap but just for fun and I'm sure the guys will have a good time razzing the lady about these so go ahead, do your worse....

    Re: Shoe's Got a New Baby

    The Jerry Garcia is a "Dead" match. The Merlin is actually wider and a bit more comfortable but would take the right outfit and some thought.

    While being utterly miserable and up all night coughing with this infection, I made a baddddd mistake. Oh geez.

    Why did I have to look at this????

    You guys are going to take up a collection for my birthday in April, right?

    Wow killer amp, can't go wrong with that one.

    Made me wonder if I'm wasting time and money constructing the big rig. Sheesh. Anyone actually heard one?

    Yes, unfortunately, I have, right here in Memphis at Martin Music, right after Spose told us about them in the Small Combo Rig thread.

    This is JUST what I've studied, compared, and been looking for, and at a good price..... and I don't get paid until the 28th. damn

    I just last week got the very same bass
    You gotta love that maple neck with rolled edges...I know I do. I played on a standard Fender model at Guitar Center the other day and after playing this one the edges felt like they were biting into my hand. Amazing how something can make a complete baby out of one. Been playing on those fretboards off and on since 1964 with never a thought about it. Reminds me of my first car (1966 Dodge Dart) with 3 speed on the column, no airconditioning (in Texas heat) and just an AM radio with one speaker. Couldn't go that now.
