also BP's round glasses are kind of a new look along with the dropped weight. Nicely done. Look great.

Fantastic display of MM's and nice party atmosphere.

New life goal: go to that shop!

Good lord.

New life goal: meet that absolutely adorable girl with the smile from heaven. LOL WOW If she's as much a sweetheart as that smile suggests, I'm in love. :)

Oh yeah... the guitars are to drool for too. :)

Thanks for the pics BP, you are looking buff sir, more buff than biff?

If you could smuggle mr horsepower into your case and drop it off over scotland when your flying back on a different airline.....

Tour operators should run holidays like this !

They are? Someone's selling a 20th online for 2,000 Euros or something... I bought mine brand new in Japan for USD1,800... Also, I got my JP6 fully loaded MD from there for USD2,800.

What's the prices like in the UK?

That's why those instruments are all still in the shop! I was just in Japan for my honeymoon last month and the prices of American made basses were CRAZY expensive. The second hand instruments were selling for the same as what we would pay for new ones here in the UK, so my new wife was pretty relieved to find out we wouldn't be carrying any additional luggage around with us. ;)

HOLY FUDGE! Now that's the way to do it! I've jsut been trying to persuade the missus that we should go to Japan. That is truly awesome. I wanna say they are being spoiled over there but hell no.......they just know how to do things properly.

You must be proud BP.:)
