Just wanted to say hi. I was previously a member here a few years ago; but most just lurked.
I owned an Essence (carribean blue) that I sold about 10 years ago in order to fund a Status Empathy(5str.cocobolo,led's) purchase. About 7 years ago I was saving for a MK bass. My wife to be actually ordered me a MK deluxe(wedding gift). I have not played it much because I don't want to damage it. So it stays in the safe and doesn't get much use. Divorced now btw. I enjoy many kinds of music. I use mostly GK gear and recently got a small Mark Bass combo(very light-weight, nice sound...esp. highs).
