Hey, I got Rob's point, but rather than posting something about a mini ukulele, I wanted to sneak in Duelling Banjos!

It's too bad that Gibson discriminates against ham-fisted, sausage-fingered knuckle draggers. Why should the fairy-fingered shortasses get all the cool basses? I smell a class action lawsuit.

Chris check the Gibson site. They have several good press pics.

 I have not had time to even plug it in and now it is all packed up. :( I was away gigging all weekend my Wife is out of town all week between work and daddy duty running my daughter here and there I haven't had a moment. What I can say is it is  short scale, very well made, beautiful really the best looking Flying V bass to date imho. She plays great. I am really interested in how the chrome humbuckers sound. I'll let Uwe give his impressions when he gets the bass, he does have a way with words.

I will, I'm a little behind things, Nov and Dec are busy months at a law firm. Only just received the LP OS Goldtop which I have dubbed "Pregnant Paula", because that is what she looks like. More comfortable to play sitting down though, doesn't slip off your leg like normal size LPs always do.

And I still have to report about the CAR 82 Grabber with 3-ply neck and maple body which sounds wholly different to my 74 Grabber Blue with one-piece neck and alder body.

I guess instead of making my Sixxbird MKII, they're using up cherry finishes for other T-birds n Fl;yin' Vees!
