Hey presto, along comes another old male.

You don't always get what you want.

Actually I was hoping for a giant hedgehog named Spiny Norman. But I see you've chosen otherwise.  ;)

I've never even seen one, but I like the concept of the lipstick pickups on a solidbody, and the neck pickup location. Of course if I were in the market for one, it would have to be a 4.  ;)

Nice color.

I don't care for EMGs but at least there's no problem with polepiece spacing like you would have with standard J pickups.

The Outpost Cafe / Re: So, how are you getting the word out...
« on: January 14, 2008, 09:07:40 PM »
Besides my thread at Jules' site, I sent out emails to about 50 people, mostly Gibson fans. Many of them have already joined. Word of mouth and eventually Google will bring in more.

Of course our goal isn't to be big, just to be good.

I remember that one and I really liked the look of it. Especially the walnut top.

The Outpost Cafe / Re: Reversal of Alzheimer's?
« on: January 14, 2008, 10:38:05 AM »
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.

I suspect it's from the US custom shop.

Other Bass Brands / Re: I spent the night with a Hag
« on: January 14, 2008, 10:33:11 AM »
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.

The only Guild B-301/302 I remember seeing anyone play was Ali McMordie's B-302 from the early years of Stiff Little Fingers. I once wrote him about it, and let's just say he doesn't remember it fondly.

The Bass Zone / Re: Is this where Ebay links will go?

Yep. But it will be okay to discuss them in the brand forums too.

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