 Thanks for that look into your workaday life! It looked to me like you were the only one actually doing something (playing bass) do they pay you more for that ?  ;D

Nice clip. I couldn't make out anything but city names in the German language portion, but I assume you choose the "Victory" for the subliminal message.

I think you should have been playing your Korina explorer bass with the gold hardware or a vintage T Bird!!! Very cool!!!

That convinced us. We're all hiring you.

Too bad they edited out all your hot young interns. Oops, did I just let the secret out?

Uwe....I put what you said into the Google German-to-English translator and it came out as, "Please do not sue me because I play bass with a pick."  :)

Words of true wisdom, those.

Anyone else get a kick out of the irony of a German playing a "Victory"?

And we need more pics of the brunette @4:53 :-)

LOL - what a bunch of Smart Alecs you all are!

Now if there is one bass that cries "pick me", zen its ze Ficktory. It's true we never had them often or for long, but we cherish them all the more for it.

I would think in hindsight, the 20/20 would have been the bass best to portray a Law Firm of visionaries!! Thanks for a look into your work, it's nice to work for an employer that lets you customize your office to your individual taste, yours has class!

Well done video, Uwe! It would be suitable for MTV because of the disproportionally short music segment!  :mrgreen:

I want to know why you are not a doctor!?  All those guys up front are doctors and you aren't ??? 

It is a fantastic video - very well done.  I do, however, agree with George - why no smoking hot interns?   ;D

I've been wondering if there was another George here that I missed... Though I'm always a fan of hot interns I'm not the one who brought them up in this thread.  ;D

You're not alone. Grog is a George too.

Sorry Dave :sad:  Perhaps I'm already associating George with the legal profession? ;D  

My most sincere apologies, George, that I associated you with lusting after hot, German legal interns and all such add on comments about bodily opens whilst located under furniture.  :P ;D  It was Dave that had the impure thoughts :rolleyes:

I missed the "Smok'in Hot Interns", maybe I'm getting old........... I'll bet Uwe has some young interns with frilly aprons dusting The Kollection at night.  :-X

Both of my legal state examns were good enough to not need to compensate with a "Doktortiel"! Not that I'm insinuating anything about my cherished partners.

And the smoking hot interns had just crawled out of sight when the vid was filmed - dusting of my instruments in their French maid uniforms and of course on all fours.
