    Post Bash G.A.S.

    Hey.

    I came away with a horrible case of G.A.S. after the Bash. Might need another Bongo.

    Any other new wishes as a result of the desert trip?

    My current Bongo:


    p.s. Got BP and Dudley to sign my Dargie!

    A kinder, gentler collection...

    I'm in the same boat as you Rex.

    I'm dying for a 20th SR5.




    I'd love a Bongo 6.

    When I obtained my Dargie lefty Luke...I considered myself unbelievably lucky.

    Now..if I were able to obtain a BFR lefty Luke...I think I might wet myself.

    BFR Sterling for me!
    Due to the avalanche of medical bills I have had this year, I am currently "without balls".

    I found out that there was another Sterling lefty H/S body floating around the plant from my Dargie Delight one off project, I WANT IT!!! I don’t care what color (natural/tort if that would be the easiest), but after talking with Dudley I found out that the preamp is the elephant, not the neck. I love Dudley and I’m not going to make a big deal about it, but I’d love to have another Sterling H/S in a non-Dargie (the collector in me makes it difficult to take it out just anywhere) for my main ax… Please… pretty please with sugar on top and my next male child!

    I already talked to Pete and if could happen… I got the cash right here!

    I ordered an Axis SS from Pete the week before the trip, and now after seeing everything they had there I might need another one.

    The rosewood Axis SS was killer, but I don't see that ever being available to buy, but the cherry burst and black cherry burst were incredible. I would have paid for either one of them on the spot.

    A 08 LE would be most excellent! And please forgive me for talking shop and bugging you at the party, which was most un-cool… that Flat Tire beer had the best of me, very sorry! I can’t remember who (Kevin maybe) was telling me about the body and was messing with my head by saying that it should be cut up.

    The CFO highly encouraged him to come with me, because she had to spend the weekend with the board of directors, plus we needed a father/son trip. He actually had a good time and it’s funny what he considered to be the highlight. The Jeep tour was top on his list, but not really for the desert, it was talking with Randy and Phatty about skateboarding, he loved that. Seeing Tyler also was fun he said, watching someone his own age kicking ass with the “old guys” was a special victory somehow. But you are right on, 15 has to be the worse time in male development. I only hope my kids turn out as good as Dargie and Brian.

    Silverburst, that fretboard looks like something I saw on the Jeep tour.

    Get yerself some Wonder Wipes fretboard conditioner ASAP, please! You're killing me!

    Yeah, I've got GAS. I'm normally pretty good about keeping purchase urges under control. I only have two basses, one fretted and one fretless. But I might succumb.

    That gold sparkle Albert Lee was a real eye-opener for me. Of course, it sounded great in the hands of a master -- and there was a stage full of amazing players at the bash.
