Old Bass spotted..

[Ken Smith]

My old Flame..

You guys have no idea the memories that are coming back to me as I look at this Bass. Also, if not for selling it when I did, I wouldn't have the House I live in now either. I had to make the 'near' ultimate sacrifice.

As many of you know, I had been searching for a replacement for about 7 years. The Storioni Cornerless Bass I got last year took care of that. At first though, I was really interested to find this Bass in Europe and buy it back. However, it was in use then with a professional orchestra. Now though, it has been modified to a 5-string and now in Mikko's hands who I know will look after her like I would. I feel much better knowing that she's fine and in good hands..

Now, can you please come over here Mikko and help me learn this crazy Nielsen's 4th. It's driving me batty..
