Patrick sent me money. I went to a local music store, and got him the Glacier Blue Sparkle StingRay for about the price of a stock StingRay. Then I shipped it to him.
It was so hard having that bass with me for a day, and not wanting to keep it. I played it for a couple minutes (and the music store) at my house, and let me tell you people, that bass is one of the finer StingRays Ive played.
Congratulations Patrick! I'm sure that Travis was more than happy to help you out on the deal. Plus he got to "own" that beautiful bass, even if just for a little while.
