The Last Bass Outpost

I've always been curious about the Alzheimers/ Dementia debate. I've known personally (Including my stepfather) several seniors with those problems. While I'm no doctor I think the biggest part is that once they retire or lose husbands/wifes, friends etc. a large part of their daily routine is lost to them. My ex-sister in law's father is a perfect example he was well respected in his field, first his wife of 50 years dies then a year latter he retires little by little as his former life disappeared his thought process started to falter. Once the familiar faces and his job responsibilities weren't there any more he started to forget things became confused, however if you started a conversation regarding his former job he appeared perfectly normal.  My mom on the other hand never lost her curiosity she taught herself how to use a computer, she loves to e-mail local & federal officials to express her opinion and her next project is to start a blog. I not saying it's not a sreious disease but I'd be intrestesting to see if keeping those people alert & intrested in the events around them would help them deal with the problem better.

Just remember that correlation is not causation. I've known people who got Alzheimer's not long after retiring, but also know of people who were afflicted despite staying active and working.

That's not the same model as the one in chromium's original post. I'm not that familiar with all the variations but there are several Hag sites online.

The bridge on those leaves a lot to be desired.

I played a Swede a couple of weeks ago, had a neck repair but the store had a $695 price tag. Yow! Way more than I would pay for one.

Yeah, looks great as is.

Don't get all excited. It was just silver, not chrome. 

Well, that could be bad news, or it could mean making room for a new model or two. We'll know by late this week.

I see that Music123 is showing a price drop on the Mon(k)ey, now $999. But it's not shown as a closeout...yet.

The Dodge Nitro, huh? Is that a nitro-burning funny car? 

I'll bet the Dodge Poly is more durable. 

I didn't realize anyone had bought the Artec yet, but the inner construction looked the same, at least from the photos I saw on eBay. With that, and if they use #42 AWG wire to get that 30K, chances are it will sound very much like the originals.
