Title: She's GONE!
Post by: Lightyear on May 10, 2008, 05:01:22 PM
To a good home :mrgreen:  She, being my Fiesta Red NR Fenderbird, to Mr. Ray Duke ;D

We're listing our house for sale next week and, hopefully, will be moving soon.  We'll be renting an aprtment while the new place is built and I have too much crap to store anyway - so just I shipped Ms. Red to a good home where she'll get plenty of love and attention. ;)

I have all the jigs and templates so I feel certain I'll be building another one in the future.

Most importantly I'm glad that my baby went to an Outposter - what do we call ourselves anyway?  ???

It's good it stays in the 'family'. And you'll have new basses sooner than you think...;)

some times it is hard to say goodbye to a fav bass, and some times it is hard to say goodbye to an early influence like carl radle.

i decided to live forever so ya gotta put up wid me for a whole long time!!!

Outposter sounds better than Outpatient.  :)

It's always good to see it go to someone we know. Good deal.

I didn't post it for sale.  Several months ago Ray made mention in a post that he would like one and was thinking of buying something for a project or having one built - or something to that regard.  I shot him a PM and told him that mine was available if he was interested.  I knew we would be moving and that I was going to have store a bunch of stuff - Ray wanted the bird, and I new that he put it to good use, so voila' - back channel deal ;D 

This is an at cost deal - my profit came from the experience of the build and fun of playing it.  I'm perfectly happy that I covered my cost and that it stays in the "family".  8)  I'm sure I could have of made a small profit on Ebay - to me it's not worth it - if there is a probelm we can handle it ourselves - no one gets burned on a deal like this. ;)

Mark, you've got mail - I sent you a couple of pics to your Yahoo addy.  I don't have a photo sharing account set up yet and if I wake up Mrs. Lightyear on Mother's Day to use her's I won't be heard from again :o  I posted pics on the old pit when I finished the project.
