You rock.

But I've got some blackened chicken over pasta with alfredo left over from lunch. I just have to go nuke it. Mmm, yeah.

Now i'm new here, so don't laugh, but is the Sterling named after Big Poppa?

Thus far, Sterling has resisted naming a bass after himself. We suspect he's holding out for the "Music Man Chick Magnet" bass. ;)

Hey BP..next time you talk to the big whigs at GC, tell 'em their new Toledo store sucks. I went looking to play a double bucker ray, and of course, they had none. To ad insult to injury, I played a blue Sterling there which had the strings, no exaggeration, 7/8 of an inch off the board. The neck had to be toast. I asked the salesman about when they had some of the new EB's coming, and he acted like he didn't know what I was talking about, and told me to check out some Warwicks. I left.

I didnt have to send guitar center 165 of each combo...ITS CALLED INVENTORY!

Yeah, but I bet they don't pay you upfront 100% before they leave the factory and try to sell one of only two color choices to their customers.

Only one person touches VBTC's EBMM customer's basses after they leave the factory (me) and God only knows how many wannabe's have smacked down on any piece of GC's "inventory".

Different business model and cash flow management.

Plus....well, you get to hang around with me and Steve.

That's got to be worth something, even if it only eventually works out to about a dollar and some change.
