TimR Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 Very Nice Davo. Look forward to the Bass Off with you and Alex Spend some time in those hotel rooms composing a 'Song for Matisse'. You can play it to Mrs. London while she enjoys the picture. Are you going to go to Florida to pick it up. I think you should. Feel the groove internally within your own creativity. - fingertalkin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davo-London Posted November 28, 2007 Author Share Posted November 28, 2007 Florida for the New Year? Sounds like a plan. Are there Lowdowners in Florida? Davo "We will make you bob your head whether you want to or not". - David Sisk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremy c Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 There are lots of Lowdowners in Florida. btw, what happened to ATM? Congratulations, Davo! Your bass will be worth the wait. It'll be worth almost as much as that signed Matisse! Cliff Bordwell used to post on this forum, if I remember correctly. Free download of my cd!.

Tom Capasso Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 Very nice - should be a beauty. I've never tried any of Cliff's basses, but they look great. I'll bet it's going to sound wonderful with those electronics and Cliff's woodwork. Tom www.stoneflyrocks.com Acoustic Color Be practical as well as generous in your ideals.

_Sweet Willie_ Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 Walnut? Rosewood board? Nordstrand pickups? I'm very supportive of those things in combination. Well done. Bordwell makes some slick looking basses, but I've never played one. Congrats! Peace.--s-uu spreadluv Fanboy? Why, yes! Nordstrand Pickups and Guitars. Messiaen knew how to parlay the funk.
