I'd buy the hell out of this Victory...

Thanks, guys! It's coming way too fast!

Afterwards we're headed to Salem and Boston for a few days and I'll be there for my birthday. Any good bass-heavy stores in Boston?

Salem... how appropriate...

A very brave man! But, way to go big, buy a new bass on your honeymoon!

You must let us know if you're successful at that!

I think he'll do just fine. My wife has encouraged me to buy a bass or amp on almost every trip where I find anything cool. She's a happy woman who enjoys my playing. She's also a dancer, so it may just be a case of being married to a fellow artist. Dennis is more than cool enough to be able to get a bass on his honeymoon.

Dennis, congrats! Marriage is a very worthwhile endeavor!

My wife will tell me all of the time to buy something - bass, tool, etc. I'm too focused on saving for retirement, kid's school, groceries to feel like I can spend anything. Besides, when I buy something she seems to always wind up getting new stuff in short order.

Don't worry, Denis, that does happen with young couples on their honeymoons. It settles down over time.

Dennis, if you're trip to Boston hasn't passed yet, I'd recommend checking out Mr. Music in Allston as well as Mouradian Guitar in Winchester.

Mouradian is at 810 Main st Winchester MA
Mr. Music is at 128 Harvard ave Allston MA

Happy Birthday!

Thanks man! We survived the wedding and the honeymoon. Didn't get a chance to hunt down any guitar shops when we were in Salem. I consoled myself with lots of great local beers up there, clam chowder, a visit to a museum with two Pierce Arrows and an ex-German Polizei leather coat from a surplus store.

Oh, that's nice. ~~I wonder what is up with that fretboard issue.~~ I called and they said the neck is definitely warped and intonating it a pain. However, they won't come down on it any further. Too bad. There was a neck on eBay the other week, too.

Congrats on the wedding, the honeymoon and the leather Polizei coat!
