So at this point, I think most people here know my story. And most of you know my crazy dedication to this brand. I've recieved so much support from the people here, I feel like in the book of my life you would each get a chapter, and I look back at where I was in 2009 scared of what was growing inside me, and now where I am in 2012 living with it, and attempting to be a positive force on the universe. Now that that run on ramble of a sentence is out, who would have thought the most damaging thing in my life right now is my teeth.. No kidding.. My teeth.
Apparently the radiation therapy I received for my brain tumors in 2009 destroyed my teeth and my lower jaw and I have an appt scheduled to remove 5 teeth from my mouth next Thursday. And they tell me it is likely I will need hyperbaric oxygen therapy everyday for the next two months. The real slap in this, is that major medical doesn't cover this.. And Each surgeon I've met with has laughed at me when I mention Medicare.
Apparently government assisted healthcare doesn't care about your mouth.
After all this time who would have thought it would be my teeth that really got the best of me...
Because of this I am forced to sell a couple of my basses, and because they are the ones I play the least they will be the Stingrays. I currently have a brand new PDN Gilded White Stingray 4 one of 200 built. Received several weeks back, tested, and put back in the case. It really is brand new. Other than that, and though i hate to do it, I have my Autumn Red Rise SR4 With Maple Neck. It shows signs of use for its age, but its a crazy rare color, and looks phenomenal.
Depending on how bad things go, i may have to move some other stuff out also, i have some amps, and other Stuff i'm not using.
So you know. I'm not slowing down, my band Ernie and the Berts, is currently taking Pittsburgh by Storm. We are filling a market nobody else here is really taking advantage of, and we are about as successful as is possible for a punk band in Pittsburgh. Ill post the basses for sale in the For sale forum, but know why they are for sale, and know that everyone here is amazing.
