    Nice snag!!! Glad you found exactly what you wanted. Maybe bring back two, and sell the second one to make a chnunk of the cost up? J I am 20 hours of train away from that one. Get to see itnext Tuesday. A second one there isn't in the country although probably other guitars. I found a ton of sweet fretless basses but they weren't cheap. Played a Warwick I really wanted thanks to you. Bastard

    Whatchu need?Lady needed some more jeans and plain colored shirts for the new job at Home Depot. While looking around a Salvation Army I came upon a LV bag that I had not seen before. Looking at the stitching and materials it had enough legit pieces to pick it up. Only thing I can't find is the date stamp. I didn't spend an arm and a leg on it, and worst case scenario, its a decent bag for her, but I'd like to find out more.J It's fake. FUCKLOADS of fake ones out there. One of my friends' wife sells them. If it were real it would NOT be at the salvation army. Fakes are usually in the $20-60 rangeOddly enough I have picked up and sold legit Gucci bags, Hugo Boss suits, and others from there. It is the closest thrift shop to a neighborhood with multimillion dollar homes. They get TONS of high end items. Looking more into it, I believe it is a fake. As I told the woman, if it's real I sell it and make a good bit of profit. If its fake, she has a new purse that has enough room to carry all her bullshit with ease. She didn't argue that point. J I've donated boss suits lol. Big difference is that the employees could sell a purse and make a ton if it were real...

    Back is sweet too. "painted" but with transparent paint. I really want an oiled finish neck but I guess I'll ahve to own 2. Oil finish isn't that important to me unless I gig. On stage I sweat too much to play a painted neck.

I've been looking and cannot find it. I know they didn't start numbering the products until the 80's. I may just take it into a store this week. J Do you care if it is real? Only reason to say yes in my mind is if you want to sell it lol

    Wish these fuckers would get back to me as to which store this one is in: http://www.digimart.net/search?category12Id=359&keywordAnd=80-315304309+&x=0&y=0 About $500, painted neck but at that price I'd buy it as a 2nd guitar for alternative tunings and use it as my primary until I find it. The blood red is pretty sweet IMO. I'd rather have a quilt top, but I like this one.

    Too much hassle. I have nobody reliable who can go check it. 400 miles round-trip. I'm going to take the course next week, rent the trailer and just go see the car. Then decide on the spot if we buy it. Worst case, we're out $80 per person (fuel + trailer rental)Car dolly?Impossible to find for renting here. Plus the car no longer has insurance and road inspection. Otherwise we could've drove it here. The seller rear ended it, bought it from it's original owner and is now trying to sell it to recoup some of his loss. With the bureaucratic jungle here it would be impossible to buy and re-register it under a different name. Simplest option is to buy and part out. Or maybe build a Lotus 7 replica. Or some crazy kit car. The parts list adds up to over $1500 just by judging used prices, and there is nobody parting out a Miata within 1000 miles. I'm not suggesting this, but I am. In America you could probably get away with either with the right choice of roads.Way way too much risk. You know, you don't get pulled over for 10 years straight and then when you are doing something "illegal" you get pulled over. Nevermind the ticket, you get a criminal record and they will also cancel your license for some time. If somebody hits me, I get the full blame, insurance doesn't cover anything since I did something illegal. Just thinking about getting in a shitty situation and then saying "man, I should've done it right" makes my stomach turn. You passed the test. Yeah I was totally testing you. Yep. I've done such things,but I realize that I only drove 5-10 miles when I did. I towed a 14,000lb boat that was 11.5' wide 100mi home without permit. Towed it with a rig that wasn't rated for towing and had no rear brakes either. Oh to be young & dumb.

    Looking for a 4 or 5 string with active pickups, narrow (read not extra deep) neck, painted fretlines. Much like you, I tend to play more on feel. Needs to be comfortqble sitting to practice as my Dean flying V is not.Not opposed to the right acoustic as well.The fretless you found is a steal at 175 especially if the glide is right.JAre you only interested in painted lines? ie, are dots enough? Have you tried to use a footstool like classical guitarists with the Dean? Do you like the Dean neck?The frets actually confuse me on a bass, but I played upright for so long and just grabbed an electric for when I couldn't travel wtih the upright. I love attempting to play old school funk or flea funk on the bass. I used to have a Fender Jazz Bass and a nice Peavey. At some point around 2000 I bought a Japanese Ibanez for dirt cheap which is all I have now. Still fun to pound on occasionally. Amazingly nice action for the $125 I paid for it lolMore of a lines kind of guy. I have played with dots but I get off a bit too easily at this point. Usually I play one leg up, other leg supporting the body. With the V the only resting spot while seated is in the notch, making reaching the top of the neck a PITA. That being said, the neck while standing glides easily in my hand, not too wide, but could stand to be slightly thinner.The Fender Jazz bass and the old Peavy I played in HS was a copy of the Fender strat body. I also had a DeArmond JetStar that was great to play, but was a bitch to sit and play. Ibanez has never had the right feel or sound for my taste, as I tend to bounce between a jazz line, and a metal line. All depends on my mood, J I don't like the new either but for the price it is sweet. Sou d on a bass to Mr is all pickups and strings but feel is HUGeThe body does play a factor as does the neck setup. Hell the difference in tone with a fretless and fretted Fender jazz bass is HUGE.I will agree that feel is paramount J play the same sake exact bass made out of two different woods and you'll agree a lot more. Sustain is about all that changes and even that is pretty slight. Not saying a pos will sound like a fender jazz bass but within reason I find no difference

    Why??? That amount of butter lasts a couple weeks in the fridge. Then it's time to buy some more. Fat goes rancid quick. No reason to keep what you aren't using in the fridge. Freezer is a better location for it.

    is this the sp4 era?

    It wasn't product related, but worse IMO. Would allow misled customers to go down the wrong path and then tried to remove responses that would lead them in the right direction. I can only extrapolate that this was to sell drivers. Either way, not acceptable here. All information, wrong or right can be posted and discussed in any forum including manufacturers forums. It seems for a while there were a bunch of DSS failures as well. I am not at all saying this is product or design related as of course it is rather normal for people to eff up their subs, but the lack of discussion on that end is disconcerting. I have no idea how Q dealt with those customers, but at this point I no longer care either.

    How do you make chile rellenos "separate"? Cook the meat before stuffing it in the pepper. Reduces your chances of food borne illness a great deal, also. And allows the correct cooking on each
