There are more Alembi-Christians here Steve. I know of 4 of us in the Dallas area alone.
I may play only at church (for the moment) but I can still be "one wild and crazy guy". LOL

Steven:

I'm also UM, but the picture is a sham - it's from a production of "Nunsense II".

LOL ... Everyone (including me) thought you were a preacher or priest and you're not? .... I'm sorry, I honestly don't mean to laugh at anyone ... but that's funny! Maybe you should have explained this in the beginning? :-)

YEOW-EEE,

Dude...

I would hate for that wire to snap, or whatever the wire is fastened -- holding your bass...

But, I can see that you are a man of faith, so I guess it's cool.

Peace and Love,

Hal-

That photo was from Gruhn's in Nashville, where I bought the bass. I suspect that's the setup they use for taking the photos for the website. I would never hang any bass that way (well...the Kingston I owned when I was in high school).

I'm actually a man of shaky faith. That photo was taken when I was in the pit orchestra for Nunsense II, when the orchestra members were dressed as priests & nuns.

Happy Birthday to your Series 1 fmm!

I recently discovered your old '89 Spoiler #5560 in these pages. It appears to be the "twin-sister" to my '89 Persuader #5559. They both have that distinctive little birdseye in with the quilted maple. Trivial, but cool just the same.
