The finish “bora blue burst” has a folder in my computer...I want a sadowsky in gloss bbb with a maple board and clear pickguard.
i came close - glad you got something special though mate, it’s beautiful and you’re a deserving owner.
Long before my married days I used to have different girls in my phone as 1,2,3,4 - it was great, like shag roulette.
But I don’t give basses numbers either.
Bubinga and flawless, wish I’d given it more of a chance. I had more basses in that time than I care to remember. It was just a shite band I was in, not the bass sound which was the problem.
We had “hairbear bunch”
a big fat kid with an Afro and personal hygiene problem.
and a massive attitude.
Might still be the worst bass player I’ve ever heard - not because he was learning, just no humility no idea that playing fast and loud was no substitute for playing slowly, with dynamics - well...

it was his “birthday - next week” every Saturday for 3 years.
After a lot of back issues I bought a stage stool for towards the end of gigs...
It was about £80.
And it was left at the Manchester Academy.
someone got lucky the next night when they took it home...I presume.
Honestly, I still chuckle.

Dad was sound, but mum was a real shitehawk.
the vimto bit of his name was hilarious.
I worked in a guitar shop for years.
there was a guy, and to be fair I cannot be certain he was really on earth at all times.
referred to guitars as
”naughty minx”
”sultry mistress”
”dirty little biztch”
and described a tube screamer pedal (pronounced TOOB) as “the g-spot for valve amps”
Mega reasonable, for the amount of creativity and work he puts in (he’s helped me with loads of stuff) - he’s a lovely bloke and we’ve gone from aquaintances to friends (well - I’d like to think, he probably calls me a cnut to anyone who’ll listen).
he’s on here as @timal - but I’d assume he’s very busy 😉
