Roberto,
 
I was checking out your 7 string bass.
It's truly breathtaking.
 
I am so happy for you man, believe me -- I know
what is running through your heart right now, and it's your design and there's nothing in the world like it...
 
Yes, I know this feeling very well, and this is what I want you to do...
 
When you get your bass, let a child play it and feel it -- for You was once that child -- and it takes great things, to make you feel as a child...  
 
Also, try to remember this moment, if its truly  
as special as I believe it is...(Very special).
 
Lastly:
 
I was trying to email this message at your yahoo account, but I kept getting errors, so maybe the heavens and the universe wanted me to give you this message here...
 
which I said, I would never post again -- but I made an exception for your exceptional bass.
 
Peace and Love,
 
Hal-
