Damn, I cant wait for Pete to tell me my bass is done, I should probably e-mail him my number lol.

Is this the Silo Phatty? or were you getting something else?

If I've learned anything, it's to let Jack talk you into stuff. He's almost always right. 'Cept for that whole flatwounds thing.

Aggie is an oldtoe Jack bongo. :)

My wife gets jealous once in awhile.

They both try to be humble, but we know what they really are. Don't we?

Jeez, stop that. Envy my basses but not my m^d SkEeLz.

Can't believe I talked Arin into a fiver.

well, i cant give you all the credit but you do indeed get some props. if nothing else your pics of your 20th were a big seller... honestly!

i was on the fence for a while & started checking ebay. there was trhis one with a best offer but i wasnt quite ready to pull the trigger. the next day the thing sold for right about the amount i was gonna offer. it was a great deal but i missed out. so i called Beaver, he didnt have exactly what i wanted - so to tempt fate i sent pete a text message.

me: hey pete how much for a 20th
pete: <insert prics here>
me: lets do it

this is the 2nd MM ive purchased via text message. WTF. i never thought id buy a guitar over txt. LoL

oh ya - a HUGE factor was Ed Friedland's video on youtube ([ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=97ULm6_Y-fU"]YouTube - Bass Guitar Magazine -Sneak Preview SR5 20th Anniversary[/ame]). saying no to a 20th after seeing that video would be like seeing Albert Lees country boy vid (w/ pops on bass) and saying no to an AL. those 2 videos have both led me to purchases

anywho.... yay.

im actually really stoked to buy a bass where i dont have to called Aziah and say "so, hey - what pickguard u think i should buy?"

Pics will be up tomorrow, it was overcast today and I didn't have the camera with me.

Q: Is it a quilt top or flame?

A: Yes

frankly i dont care which it is. im excited to get surprised. same went with my 20th silo. i had no idea what it would be like and its my fav top of all the ones ive seen online. its a mild quilt and flame all in one. its crazy rad

im sure this one's just as dope
