Ilan, thanks for posting.  Something like that is right up my alley.  I'm always interested in basses like this one.

Remaining stuck in your anal stage
is a terrible thing they say.




PS: Not sure whether I really want to "follow" Gerber's baby carrot food on its "journey", I have a pretty good idea how it will end.

 It's otherwise a cool bass, I like the re=issue pickups a lot, and in a short scale like this I bet they sound really good - That color though, why? They make all these cool guitars and just do this $#!* for bass players.

And a tiny fraction of that for left-handed bass players!

Something I don't do due to the lack of left-handed basses available. Wait, what?

I thought even left-handers, plighted as they are, don’t have a choice between left and right ejaculation. Have I been missing something all these years and is there an ambidextrous secret?

The Mod Collection is full of ugly ass refins and a weird fixation on all possible shades of orange. They want $4.6K for this LP Special that looks like Jackson Pollock threw up all over it. Every now and then a really nice finish pops up, but most are not.

Horses for courses - now THAT fin I really like and it reminds me more of an early stage Claude Monet than anything by Pollock. Not that Pollock is bad, chaos never is.

The Mod Collection should be called the Misfit Collection. They're all seconds that Gibson decided to mod so they could upcharge instead of discount.

  Well, when I do it left handed, it feels like someone else is doing it - Not a bad thing!  :-*

When I started, I used to switch hands stroke for stroke and only stroked away from my body (a laborious habit I kicked eventually), I mean I had no manual or anything, this was strictly learning by doing! Mom was supportive in the aftermath though, out of nowhere a tissue box appeared on my nightstand. We never talked about it.  ;D

And then that orange thing ... A friend's dad had a paperback with PLAYBOY (or was it PENTHOUSE?) Letters to the Editor, one of them raved how much the writer enjoyed impregnating oranges. Oranges is something you generally have at home, so I gave it a try following instructions painstakingly. Well, what can I say, it's messy and it burns, overrated really. I ate the remnants of the experiment - let nothing go to waste!

 Here I thought I was the twisted one!
  I was weariong Mom's clothes the first time "it" happened - messy, very messy! Wasn't exactly sure what had happened at first, but it sure felt good, couldn't quit after that!
