    I had a friend that tried that, damn gnome was pure evil!!! It brought nothing but bad luck. Fell over running from the property with the gnome and flace planted HARD on rough bitumen haha. I can't remember the cause, but his car engine blew up on the way home and it cost him a packet. If i recall correctly, he then had a crash in a borrowed vehicle... This sort of stuff was ongoing for a month or so until everyone got freaked out and he mailed it back to the owner hahaha...

    End mini hijack

    Beautiful. Yeah it is very similar indeed - they do such a great job of the joints, it just works.

    Hows the neck on that bass? Mine had the most insane birdseye I've ever seen in my life.

    It's figured birds eye and the action is really low - sounds great.
