My life for the last year!

[boombox]

Hello all you forum faithfuls!

..... as i patiently wait for my photo game face to load on my recently purchased Tiger Woods 2012 video game (I can’t wait to virtually play at Augusta)....

I felt the need to check in and let you guys know that I’m still around, and if you know me you know it kills me to not be as big a part of the forum as I use to be. ..... truth is...... i’m really freaking busy!!!... like nuts!!!!

My first year at GC has been lightning fast and I have had little time, while at work, to stop and think about hopping on the forum and seeing whats up.... like I did at TPB.

So..... I’m setting myself a reminder to “stop and smell the roses” once and a while and log on daily to check thinks out!!!

...Music Man news... I got to meet Glen Peiser today for the first time. Heck of a guy! Coming from a guy that thought he knew allot about Music Man products I learned a great deal from him in the 10 minutes!!!! Cool Stuff! Thank Glen and Music Man for the extra knowledge. Very Cool gear out right now and coming out in the near future!

I also just got my ’80 Sabre back from my tech in LA and it turned out amazing! Full neck set up, electronics rewire, drop filled damaged spots and replaced a non original saddle with a period correct one! (Thanks AJ for the hard work on getting me the RIGHT item!)

All in all thinks are well and I hope all is the same for each of you!

Brandt Bourque!

Glad to read you're into your job. That's what ultimately counts regardless of what you're doing...

Looking forward to your Sabre pics!

Ah, I see you've read the pamphlet "How to Tease and Torture Knuckleheads for Fun and Profit," by S. Ball.

Hey Brandt, great to hear you're doing well down in the peach state. Get some pics of your reborn Sabre up, sounds unique.
I still have the two 25th's I got from you, both keepers and after the moronic move of selling my BFR Rosewood Bongo 5HH and being without a Bongo for a year, I lucked out in getting a Roasted 5 HH Bongo, man I love my 25th's but that Bongo mojo is crazy, this ain't ever leaving. Welcome back, later, Rick

Brandt... Always good to hear from you. Hope all has been well brother. Will give you a call next time i am in the ATL. JOSH

 

[bassmonkeee]

Sounds like maybe I need to stop in to say Hi to Brandt, again...

Here is a before of the Sabre

and here is the afters

i love the body checking!!!!

The damaged areas were drop filled to blend in with the original color which turned out awesome. The damage is still there but from 10 ft away you cant even tell. Some of the mini toggles were replaced and they were all caped with matching chrome hats. The neck was totally reworked and it now plays like a dream, notice the change in saddle positions for correct intonation! ... now I need a gig!!!!

 

[oli@bass]

Oh wow... that's a beauty, thanks for sharing!

 

[MudvilleStomper]

just don't start pulling for the Dirty Birds....

 

[RaginRog]

and don't start pulling for the Braves...although I have Dan Uggla on my Fantasy team...you could root for him!

Go Mets....although we'll suck this year!

 

[RaginRog]

Nice Sabre btw.

Looks like solid walnut, great figure that is featured on the body. Love it!

Brandt TPB aint the same without you, you used to cut me some KILLER deals. And still wearing the free shirts . I have been eyeing the black classic on their wall but theres nobody to talk me or my wallet into it

 

[boombox]

I am back in Louisiana and I am no longer with GC.

I really miss selling EBMM to you guys like I did when at TPB!!! And I miss spending time with you guys on this forum.

I've got a few things up my sleeve but noting 100% just yet...

BP, I'm sending you a quick email.... lets chat
