    Jack,

    With 'age', there's a greater chance that long-term enjoyment of alcoholic beverages will have killed enough gray matter to.. um, what was the question?

    I'm not familiar with that other word that you mentioned. Is it animal, vegetable or mineral?

    Hey Anthony.. good eye catching that Whammy bar on Jack's Logan Flame!

    Seriously, my brother had that Kahler installed on the p-bass in the 80's. I've had the bass for the last 10 years or so, and I've never even put the trem arm in while playing.

    Now I'm going to have to compose a short demo tune that utilizes the bass Kahler! Good thing I just bought new Super Slinky strings for that bass! Hmm.. maybe next week, this week is looking rather hectic..

    Thumbs up

    I've seen Eric Haven do some incredible stuff on that Tokai bass of his and he'll be at the Kahler booth at NAMM in January demonstrating I believe...check him out.

    A pic of a Cutlass Bass (with tremelo bridge) taken at Open House. It appears to be a Kahler.

    (Can't remember if it was my pic or Todd's?)
