despite receiving an intriguing and sincere offer from poor_nigel, i've decided i can't part w/my absolutely mint europa, flame walnut, 4 string bass. it's just too beautiful. about an hour ago, i tore thru a rigid version of achilles' last stand and kashmir. you know what i'm talking about. this bass talked me thru both songs. it was as if jpj was in the strings. i've never nailed both songs the way i did tonight. i just can't let it go. it was ethereal.
