Chalie, I still didn't get the friend request from you. If you just liked the Nailers page it doesn't come to me, I'm not an administrator on the page. I'll keep trying to friend you. I used my Rumble at my gig last night & it sounded great! Last night was the true test of the bass & it passed with flying colors! It sounded incredible & played like a dream! I had lots of comments on how great the bass sounded. One guy who comes to see us all the time said it was the best sounding bass he has ever heard!

I played my first gig with the Europa Saturday & it was awesome! It played like a dream & sounded incredible! I got lots of compliments on the look & the sound with one guy telling me it was the best sounding bass he had ever heard! I LOVE this bass!!

I see those control knobs looking very symmetrical Rusty! That's a great-looking bass man... congrats!

Thanks for noticing Gregory! I'm a stickler for symmetry so I sent Mica a picture of where I wanted the knobs & when I was at the factory we laid them out on the body to make sure I approved. I wanted them parallel with the pickups.

Hey Rusty

I will be thinking of your Blue Orca when I am in Seward next week. My partner Jen and I were there two years ago and fell in love with Resurrection Bay so we are returning there to get married on the beach. Thought it was really cool that you picked the blue finish to remind you of Resurrection Bay, just an amazing place!

Wow Stephen, small world! I'm in Seward now! My Dad has a house there & we go every summer for a couple of weeks! I wish we were going to be here next week, but we go home on Tuesday. Congratulations on your upcoming wedding! I pray God richly blesses your marriage!

Small world indeed. Thanks so much for the congratulations and good wishes!

Actually we are driving down from Anchorage Monday afternoon after we pick up our marriage license. If you think you may have time to meet for a drink Monday evening send your phone number to stephenr2 at sbcglobal.net.

Can't wait to get on the plane tomorrow...

Hey Stephen, it was so nice meeting you & Jen! Hope you enjoy your time in Seward & hope your wedding went well!

Hi Rusty

We had a great time meeting you, your wife and friends in Seward. Wedding cermony took place on Tonsina Beach as planned and was just an amazing experience. What a beautiful setting, well worth the trip from California. We lucked out on the weather, too, no wind on the beach and a pair of bald eagles circled overhead as we started the ceremony. Will try to email you a couple of pics from the ceremony.

Jen says hello and we hope you can make it to the September California Alembic gathering.
