Cowpilot: Bassist Gone Crazy?

Man, you guys have good memories!

I was talking to the guys in the band last night about Heinz and figured out that the last time Heinz had a real gig was summer of 2001. Five years ago!

Ben asked me how I kept Heinz in such pristine shape....I said, "I never gig it!"

Then I thought, 'Well, but he did travel all over the US and hung in a Guitar Center and had a neck trade (or two) and....'

It is in pretty amazing shape, all those things considered.

Sounds and plays better than it did the day I got it. (Must be because it's old, hah.)

There is nothing better than an SR5 neck IMHO and Heinz probably grew into the best one. imho

I LOVE my Bongo. :D
 
I've got one kind of like it. Except Ray went and had those metal things put on his neck. And worse, the weird straight kind. Still sounds killer.
