Title: My Thunderbird in Hamburg, yes, that Hamburg.

I hated to sell this bass, seems it's traveled quite a ways from Seattle - Hamburg!

I remember that bass, Mark.

Funny, when I saw Hamburg in the title, I thought "wonder if Uli Salm bought it".
And it appears he did!

I sold The Brooks Telebird that I built to him about a month ago.
But I had no idea he owns that many bass guitars. And that he sells quite a few of them via his Reverb shop.
I wonder how long it takes till the Brooks pops up on Reverb.
