Pretty much the same as its siblings.

At home in its Calzone 1/2 Touring case. I don't know why they put a carrying handle on these cases. With a heavy bass in them, I have to use a hand truck to move em around. I want roadies! Big roadies! That's all folks.

Are you being funny, or are you just a jerk? Funny is out, so . . . No wonder I don't come here any more.

I don't know how I missed this when it was first posted, but man, your bass is incredible. The back is as beautiful as the front, and that's saying alot! The front is breathtaking.....

Thanks for taking the time to post the pictures. I'm sorry it took so long to respond to them. I guess there's a reason for everything...Your getting pissed off allowed me the opportunity to check out your bass. Thanks... Take care.

That is indeed a splendid instrument. Do all 20th Anniversaries have the same bodies, woods, etc?

Nigel (Thomas) my friend,

I've missed your informative and amusing commentary recently, and now understand why.

I recall scrolling down through these beautiful photos - I especially love the accent laminates on the body and how they match the neck - and suddenly coming upon this rather jarring funeral reference. It just seemed horribly out of place, and I think I have some sense of your reaction.

Now, this is awkward, because the last thing I want to do is defend Keavin. Frankly, I wish he would just 'amp it down' a little, because for about two years now I've been reading everything on this board, I've developed a few offline friendships, and generally found this to be a respectful, mature, thoughtful, warm, and sensitive place to hang out - and to learn a lot.

While I appreciate his enthusiasm, Keavin's signal-to-noise ratio is not the best. Though a bit tiresome at times, I think his heart's in the right place, and I really can't believe he intended any offense - it was probably just some visual association that struck him at the time (perhaps after one of those 12-packs...). I'm pretty sure it was meant as simply a weird observation, and just happened to be in extremely poor taste.

It's also possible you (understandably) over-reacted a bit. All this web/email stuff is really tricky, given the range of vocabularies, writing styles, and even languages involved here. But it's good reminder that it's easy to misinterpret, and we all need to be careful.

Whether you choose to stay or leave, Thomas, thanks for taking the time to explain. Though this is allegedly a moderated discussion, and you have to register, we are in fact a self-moderated group, and I am continually amazed at how well that works, with extremely rare exceptions. I've seen a lot of good people join in over the last year, but the thought of losing some is troubling (speaking of which, where the hell is Joey? I'm getting a bit worried about him, maybe time to check in...).

I'm going to pay heed to this little note I have here that reminds me to 'wait until morning to post', but I needed to say something.

All the best.
-Bob

Once again Bob, you are the voice of reason, I do so enjoy your thoughtful musings and postings.

I can't add much to what brother Bob has already said except that I think this club is full of some of the nicest people in the world. A group that encompasses a myriad of personalities, cultural backgounds & musical preference yet comes together here in this fellowship with an unmatched spirit of brother and sisterhood in support of one another. It's what distinguishes our club from other music forums. Let's not have that change.

So with that in mind, I say:

Thomas - I hope to see more of your postings

Keavin - Humor needs to be appreciated by all parties in order to be considered funny

Susan- aka Mother Alembic

I'm blown away by the top laminate on this bass - what is it?
