"But you could have mentioned something about lemon oil." Do I have to use lemon oil or can I just use unicorn urine like on my other booteek basses? |

I was hoping to get 200 in before my 50th birthday but alas no..what number am I at, upper 100th I think. writing posts is like a hard bass solo, the first few bars look easy but as it progresses it get harder to fulfill. |
