    OK Here I go

    Alright guys, I am calling tomorrow and purchasing a lefty SR5. What do I get when I join you guys besides a nice bass. I was thinking $10 from everyone on the board. Start collecting boys.

    Haha.. congrats on the bass. Instead of money, could we interest you in an international collection of belly button lint?

    Well, I have two to choose from, both with a rosewood board and black pickguards, one lave pearl, one black. As nice as the lave pearl looks, I really like black basses.

    Belly lint, man you guys drive a hard bargin. Just put the lint in an the package with your ten dollar bill.

    Well, I have to say that your user name certainly is fitting

    Me thinks lava would go better with rosewood but what do I know, the poor thing is built bass ackwards anyway

    We gotta have pics when it arrives though

    Clean out of belly button lint at the moment but I could send some bum fluff although I'm kind of attached to it at the moment. For those west of the UK Bum=ASS.

    BTW I would go black/black/rosewood. I just love that combination.

    And remember ----- pics are compulsory!!!!

    You can clearly see the lint in the photo. It's not where you'd expect to find it, though. He used it to knit those tighty whitey's.

    You didn't mention whether your wife banned herself from the boards after seeing that photo?

    Carbon Blue Pearl, especially with rosewood.

    You know, I'm just going to build a machine that types that phrase for me automatically:

    "Hey, so what do you guys think about the new 20th SR5's?"

    "Carbon Blue Pearl!"

    "How can I get a Jazz Bass sound from an HS 'ray?"

    "Carbon Blue Pearl!"

    "What color are Psycho's tightie whities?"

    "Carbon Blue Pearl!"

    And so forth.
