Hey Guys,

So I just purchased a ASS mm90 from RadRock. I had been gassing for one for awhile and he had a great price. However, I was originally looking for a Rosewood ASS. And what do you know? ONE GOES UP FOR SALE FOR THE SAME PRICE TODAY! YARG!

Well, I guess I'm not mad because Rad's a great guy and I'm getting a great guitar- but wow, I'm mad this hadn't happened sooner!

So tell us your stories! ANybody jump on something and then go "OH NO!" like I just did!?

Hey Pitt, ya know wat? You should go grab that Rosewood ASS!!!!

After I scored my Sparkle Silo Spec, I hunt down another baby within 3 days and made NO wait in acquiring her!! Point to note - money can earn everyday, but good things dont come very often. :D

Nope, as a matter of fact the last 2-3 guitars I have bought I have had this happen. :) Just got my Morse last week and swore to the wife " that's it!" Looking at another Axis as I type :p

My Silo has a funny story. I was bidding on my current Silo, but my computer farted at the end of the auction and someone else won it. After that, I had the opportunity to buy a white HSH Silo, maple board with white guard and natural head, but the seller flaked on me. A few months later, the burnt apple Silo popped up once again, and I snagged it just before another forumite :p

I was definately torn after I ordered a Blue Dawn JP6 LE, and then the BFR pics started popping up.

I ended up changing my order and got the BBB BFR, and am stoked with the decision - especially now, as I just spotted a Blue Dawn Luke in my local shop and was quite shocked to see how plain it looked with no lighting or flash - still nice, but quite different from 95% of pics you see.

nah, I'm excited for this one, plus that rosewood isn't the config I want. I think I'm the youngest guy on the forum who bought his balls anyway, I think that's quite an accomplishment. I should be happy- and I'm very excited to see my ASS when it arrives tomorrow. Its funny that it has happened to a lot of people here! ;)

I can kinda see what you are saying. Since it's a sparkle, most of the pics you see are in an attempt to capture the sparkles (nearly impossible to do). I see burnt apple as the red counterpart to blue dawn, and I'm guilty of the same, however I do love the way it looks out of the light as well, and the white guard really helped to give it more personality.

Just saw this thread. When you plug in those MM90s and crank it UP, you won't be disappointed. Plus, if I've learned anything, there will always be more guitars you want and if you don't like the blue one, you can always pass it on. I really dug it though, I just wasn't needing it.

You got it for a great price anyway! When I was sixteen I still had my freakin' LOTUS!
