Are We There Yet?

[bovinehost]

How do I know the time is getting close for the Dallas Birthday Bash?

Three boxes from UPS today. Two are kind of short and stubby and girly, but one's definitely bass-sized. I better check them for damage, right?

Right?

Well yeah. You can't be too careful.

Okay, first one is some kind of "Lukey" thing. Ever seen one? Little skinny strings, lemme count 'em - six. Well, they're small, so I guess you need a lot of them to make noise. Pretty thing. Some kind of gear shift knob sticking out of the bridge.

Second one, still from the short boxes. Whoa! Look at that! Just like a Stingray 5, but little bitty - and a stumpy neck. More of those skinny strings. "Sterling's Sil" is taped on to the case. What can it mean?

Third one, the regular sized manly box. Hmm, I know this bass. Black, tort guard, Bongo single H four banger. Cool.

WAIT A DAMNED MINUTE. What kind of neck is this? It's like rosewood or something! Who made THIS?

So yes, I'm controlling myself. They all went back into the cases and into the closet - howzzat for self control?

It's like Christmas, but Santa's going to play with all the toys and take them back to the North Pole!

If this is torture for you guys, imagine being IN THE SAME HOUSE WITH THEM.

I really really really wish i could have swung both Namm and the Dallas event i have a feeling that those who dont go are going to miss out on something very special.......but i will just hope that any forumites going to Namm will maybe hook up for at least a night and have a few drinks and maybe BP and his gang will join in for a few wobbly pops as well.....................heres to hope!
and cheers to all of the Dallas attendees,,,,,,,,,,May everyone arrive and get home without accident, injury or confrontation have a great time everyone ....and to Jack and Erica all the best in your future endevors together

I was just mentioning over on the bass side that I have never played a Luke, seeing as how I'm a bassist and don't know doodly-squat about guitars, but HOLY SH!T.

Okay, I get it now. I really do. As little guitar as I can play, just - effin YEAH.

Makes my Strat seem like a chair made of antlers or something.

*shivering*

[SteveB]

Yes Jack, but how did the Luke SMELL?

 

[Big Poppa]

it easier to scratch your back on those antler chairs though
