No, it was the distance that did for us (this way is the days before everyone had the internet). We are still good friends though.

Well I'm glad to hear you are still friends. Friends are hard to come by and worth holding on too! Just like Smith Basses!

Better get back to the topic of this thread.

Take care!

Oh my God, Tim you be the man!! Your axe's and rig are off the chain, you know I'm a Ampeg fan as well as a "Smith Bass" exclusive player. If you ever decide to sell hit me up.

Tim Bishop 03-06-2007 05:46 PM

Thanks Albert. While I do like the Ampeg rig, my main rig is a QSC PLX3602 w/Alembic F2-B Pre-amp into my Eden Cabs.

I also use Smith's exclusively and will till my fingers can't move any more!
