Cool, Art! So, uh... what's the status of that ugly nonsense with Austin's stolen basses? Did you and the other fellow who bought his stolen brown bass get to the bottom of it, yet? I hope you guys didn't get screwed.
I'd sure like to hear the story... if inclined you could email me privately if you're willing to share the story and update me -although I'm sure others are interested as well.
Take care, Art, glad you sold it as you wanted, and hope it'll help you get an Alembic that's right for you. My new Signature Deluxe Balance K is absolutely amazing!
