I too go through basses like toilet paper...because I get some crazy bug up my ass and have to trade or have this so I can sound like this...etc....

Really Baz? I hadn't noticed.  :mrgreen:

Oh stop.....I'm overrated....I mean...I can play a mean Lead bass....ha! You guys are funny. Ya wanna buy a Pink Hamer 12 string bass for $2,000.00????

Hey...the one good thing about owning a bass from that Baz Cooper guy...he tweaks...tightens every screw...has them set up..all original poarts replaced..fanatic about making them perfect...and then He gets bored...like..everytime I listen to JIMI Hendrix...I want to sell/trade my T birds for a 1964 Sunburst Jazz bass...or everytime I listen to Robin Trower...I want a Pre-CBS Fender precision...black with white pickguard.....I'm nuts....however...now...whenever I listen to Cheap Trick...I want to smash My thunderbirds and 8 strings!!! HA!!!!

You saying my Embassy is junk?  Hey, it was even owned by TWO different celebrities.  Tom Petersson and Jon Brandt.  Seriously.

The really funny thing is that Brandt never knew that Petersson owned it before him.  Dave Angel also wanted to get his hands on it, but never did.

I own one of fifty odd instruments that Peter Cook hand-built and it makes no difference who she was originally built for - "She" has been my baby for over 35 years now - when I bought her I had no idea who he was/is or any significance about the shape or style what-so-ever - instruments come-and-go through our lives and the way we play so often overcomes the instrument...

... but there are some that just work for us... 8)

Baz... what you need is not a tombstone, but your own unique logo... no more tributes... just your own unique outlook on what you feel is right!
