Frankly, the rudeness of this statement shocks me. Visit her? As if Willie isn't worth a visit? I have actually been inside Casa Sweets, and his family and himself are worth the effort.

 

I just wish he wouldn't follow me around when I'm there and just leave me alone with the instruments. I wasn't able to prop open a window last time, so I'm going to need his permission to play the FoL when it comes. Damn!

I can't go to that site anymore. The gas is unbearable. If Willie's bass plays half as good as it looks...there could be trouble in La Casa Brinkley.

Doh! That's a can of worms I never even saw on the shelf!

 

My apologies to Willie & Fam. ;)

Apology accepted. But don't expect to be fed by us when you come to visit! :mad:;)

 

Come to think of it, we didn't give Tom anything to eat -- although he did leave the house with a bottle of water.

 

getz76, on the other hand, did come by and eat and drink at our place one evening.

 

BenLoy bought me a beer once, as did wraub, so I guess I'd at least give them drinks if they came by the hizzouse, maybe some food, too.

 

But, M-Dub, you just might be s.o.l. Sorry, mang. ;)

 

But, really, who cares? :D

 

Peace. :cool:

And in mi casa.

 

I went last night & looked at the gallery. There's a single-cut there with an ebony top. I suppose Mr. N could make another. And that thought will be most disturbing, indeed.

Hey, is that something like an invitation? :) Seriously, food and drinks are not necessary. Just a few minutes alone with the Nordstrand... :eek::D

 

And that gallery is pretty impressive. But singlecuts really don't do much for me at all...

No domestic dissent for me... :)

 

Peace,

I'm a lot more like I am now than I was when I got here.

It sounds like we could have a proliferation of threads titled: "New bass on the horizon: another Nordstrand thread!" :D

 

Good for Carey's bank account if not for our own credit ratings... :(

 

No complaints here, though. I've taken the plunge. As has Adrian -- more than once. :thu:

 

I wonder who will be next? :confused:

 

Peace.

I had a session this morning and I couldn't concentrate - all I could think of was scraping the $$$ together to get one of Carey's basses and not piss off the wife.

 

Worst gas ever :mad:

Well, the Fish o' Luv was completed almost a year ago and has been in my possession just a little less time than that. :cool:

 

As I approach the first anniversary of owning it I felt that I should let everyone know that I still love it. Thanks, Carey! :wave:

 

Peace.

Congratulations, FoL & Suhweet-W!

Any word on the progress of your axe, 09? You did have one in the making, right? :confused:
