And you didn't call me for beers???

 

[AnthonyD]

Awesome bass - beautiful! Safe trip back and looking forward to the "extended" review (aka gushing).

 

[bovinehost]

I must have something, someday, in that finish.

Buen viaje! Call us when you find work.

 

[Bill]

Very beautiful bass! Have a safe trip.

 

[maddog]

Sweden to Phoenix, must of been a shock.

Did you get to find out how much salt you lose in a day by wearing dark clothes and watch them turn white?

Have a safe trip. May your bass have a safe trip. I did not know a Volvo needed testing.


Take care and enjoy

Just promise you won't play any Günther songs on that BonGo when you get it back to Göteborg!!!

 

[Psycho Ward]

Beautiful bass! It'll make the trip just fine, just put "Human Body Parts" on the box.

Have some fun when you get home!

 

[NorM]

It was nice to have you here for a while.

 

[Fuzzy Dustmite]

Thanks for visiting! I've seen that bass on the bassplace's website for a while now!

Alas, another store that I never make it to in order to check out their inventory. However, I did get my SR from them via ebay!

Dude,

You even live over on that side of town and have never made it to The Bass Place?? It's a great shop with fairly large inventory and Lee is cool guy.

Oh, I've been there numerous times, I just haven't made it in for quite some time (since I got my SR, actually).

I saw one of the guys (dennis?) play at the rustler's rooste when we were there playing the Sandusky radio (KUPD, KDKB,KSLX) xmas party.

 

[Splanky]

Hi and thanks for all the kind words!

Well im safe back home after a 21 hour journey. And yes, quite jet lagged.
There is a 9 hour time difference and it takes it tolls.

We flew from Phoenix to Denver then the jump over to Frankurt and at last home to Gothenburg. That means 3 reloadings of a precious bass. But we all came home smiling.
After all the greetings from my soon to be wife and unloading of bags. I got to work on the Bongo. Lemon oiled the neck and let it soak. Then restrung it with DR Lo Riders . Aw man im happy!

Well it´s time for dinner!

Get back later!!!

Cheers!

Henrik

Henrik,

I feel for you, brother!

I was coming back from a business trip to Reno, Nevada once, and they cancelled our flight out of Reno.

I ended up flying from Reno to Oakland, California. Changed planes and flew from Oakland to Los Angeles. Changed planes and flew from LA to Charlotte, North Carolina, where I changed planes and flew from Charlotte back to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

Worst part was that I had a terrible hangover and all that flying didn't help.

Good God man!! Was there no booze on those flights???
