I work part time as a tour guide at my alma-mater- the Frank Lloyd Wright School of Architecture at Taliesin West (Scottsdale, AZ).

While giving a tour yesterday, somehow the topic of music came up and a lovely woman told me that her husband (who was with her, but talking to his friend) was also a bass player. I continued the tour, and at the end, as I was thanking people as they exited the building, the woman's husband came by and I said "I hear you're a bassist too!". He said he was and then asked me what kind of bass I played.

"I have several basses, but I mostly play Musicman; a Bongo and Stingray 5" I said. "What about you?"

"I own Rickenbacker" He said. To which I replied, slightly embarrassed, "Nice to meet you Mr. Hall!"

(For the record, let me say that I do own 3 RICS)

I bet we could talk him into trying a Bongo.

Hah. NOT.

But I'm glad you said you played Musicman!

(I have a Ric, too.)

Always good when you spread the EBMM love.

Jack, just out of curiosity, what are the other basses you own besides that loooong list of music mans?

Well, it's a very short list. I'm a company man! I do have a 62 RI Jazz that my wife gave me years ago and a rather "custom" Rickenbacker that my friend Corey built and finished for me.

Other than that - they're all Bongos and Stingrays. Every now and then, I'll pick up something that seems 'interesting' and that list is EXTREMELY long, but they never stay very long.
