    Fao Bp

    You asked me to take some outside shots of my 30th so you could get a decent look at the body. Well the sun came out for a minute tonight and I managed to get these shots. Hope they are okay.

    The big question though BP, you mentioned figured mahogany in the other thread. Well, is it?

    BTW I can't get enough of this bass. It really inspires me to play. Fantastic!

    I was loving that 30th at the NAMM.....Big Poppa gave my wife the deal about it at the Warped Tour (NEVER look into Big Poppa's eyes when he asks you...you will succumb to the power! LOL), and CINCHouse saw one yesterday at GC.....she quickly walked away mumbling something about Big Poppa, eyes, and how "pretty" it was....lol.

    That is an awesome bass bro!

    BP you chick magnet you! Heaven knows what would happen to me if my wallet and I were in the same vicinity as you and some unowned basses.... heaven forbid! That's even more scary than the thought of me having kids

    Oh, you did. No question there....I think she was in a state of shock of how beautiful that 30th is when she saw it and felt bad she denied me at first! LOL......
    We did the high five when she said YES....and my wife would never go against that....she is truly wonderful and would never go against what she told you. She really had a great time and was very happy to finally meet you in person. I need to shoot you an e-mail later on something.....off the forum. No issues though.

    I have to do the dinner thing with her and she is getting something from me that she has been wanting for a while and I bought it, so it is present time for her!

    Again....deal is done.....
