Hey Mike,
You know, getting her an engagement ring is a great thing.  But how about her getting you an engagement bass?  Nothing says I love you like brass surrounded by beautiful hard wood!!!!
 
Yeah The Music Mall closed up shop this week.  They're all done.
They've been on a downward slide for the last year or so and now it'ss final.  I hate to see any business suffer that fate but I do have to say they had it coming after hiring the management they hired to run the company.  It was just poor management that did it.  That and poor customer service.  When you have to wait 3 mos for a special order and then all you get is the runaround after they've taken your money...you tend to take your biz elsewhere.  And Guitar center and Daddy's are right across the street now.

BTW.... Congrats on finding an Alembic Jeff!!! Is that an Essence w/Europa electronics?!? What's that top wood??? I hope that brings many years of enjoyment~ I remember when Dean first showed me the Q switch and filter on his bass I was sold~ I said HOLY S%#T!!!!! The only other thing comparable to that for me was running my bass through a Focusrite parametric EQ.....  
 
Sorry to veer off topic, but it's really a shame to see the MM done and over, ya know?!? They had been around for a while~ I know that times arent the best, but to lose the whole farm is something else.... You'd figure that they'd learn from E.U.W's mistakes. I remember saying to myself back around '99-00: Damn, things are really on the up and up! These guys are riding the crest of a huge wave, and it's good to finally see the small guy get ahead.... I guess they got a little too far ahead of themselves

Hi Mike,  
 
Its actually a Rogue.  To be honest and slightly embarrased... I have no idea what kind of electronics package it is.  Although, the naming convention for the electronics is really odd... The top wood is Bocate.  And yeah, the Q switch is pretty friggin cool. Way easier to adjust than any eq I've had.
 
It is a shame about the Music Mall.
Price wise, though online shopping is king.
and What Daddy's and Guitar center have going for them are huge inventories on hand for you to actually try stuff out in the store.
