Picked up the bass. This thing is gorgeous.

NorM and I met Steve and Karen at Mythos Mediteranian Bistro. Had a good time. Pictures will follow in the morning after I've had some good sleep. Plenty of other cameras there so I'm sure ya'll be hearin' from Steve and NorM.

Steve is a great dude. Karen is awesome. NorM can chow down.

I still can't believe Steebo picked up the tab. Thanks Steve.

Thanks again, Jack-o, for the colour suggestion.

Buy from VBTC.
 
I've got a bunch of pics but we're in the middle of day two of a neighborhood garage sale and they're like locusts...."How much is this??" :(

NorM's probably in a meat consumption induced coma....more later...great time!!

Ohoopa!!
 
Let's just say NorM can indeed eat...we went through two meat combo platters that our waitress, Amy said serve 6 people each and he ate the second one by himself along with at least a dozen tall diet cokes.
 
I call this one "Meatboy"

I've gotta get some chores done this morning/afternoon. Hopefully I'll get pics up on my website by late evening. For now I leave you with this:

Travis,

The single H is the bomb. I tuned it up a little while ago and doodled with it for about 15-20 minutes. The sound has more grind or something. The 3-band makes it simpler to get some very different tones out. Everything flat sounds awesome. It has that classic Stingray tone and more. Some very different tones can be had by simply moving the right hand around a bit. Roll off the treble and a bit of the mid and you got classic thump. Move the right hand up to the neck, even more classic thump. Roll in some mids and you got something that will cut thru any mix without killing ears. I'll report more as I play with it and get a better understanding of it. This is definitely a keeper. Now, hmmmm, I'm thinking about a blank-plank 4-banger. :D It never stops.

Congrats, Tom! :cool:

Good and bad to hear Tom.

Good, because, I wanted you to like the Single H. Bad because, well, I want a Bongo AGAIN. LOL:D
