Damn, you sell Gibson bass books faster than Gibson sells Gibson bass guitars!

Mine (#98) arrived today. Very nice additions to the first edition and great work Rob!

Good to know! That tells me the shipments within Europe probably all went without too much trouble. Despite the Corona crisis.
Shipments to the USA, Canada and other overseas parts of the world may take a bit longer than normal.
Although I did get an email from Bunny Brunel that his book arrived last saturday. He lives in California.

Wot, no Second Edition? I want one too!

Besides, you forgot the new "By the Pussy" Grabber BTP signature bass.

With the combination of Covid-19 & the rioting going on in Minneapolis, mine might take a while yet......

Basvarken · May 29, 2020, 10:47:40 AM

Let's hope for the best!

Hopefully not, since you live far enough away from the affected areas, but things won't be back to normal in Minneapolis and St. Paul proper for a long time.
