I've seen two of is videos on youtube repairing RICS. Why would anyone send them to him to repair. Ohwell it's Canada Day...Time to go have a cold one on the deck.

Yup, I foolishly got myself embroiled in a mini brew ha ha with a few of his disciples on You Tube a while back. As I remember the idiot claims the bridge was snapping strings, not the G string (HA!) as I remember, so he beat the bass against a dumpster to make sure no one would be tortured by it. Well I hate to see a good instrument die like that but he probably did his 4001 a favor so it would not have to endure another note from his ham handed playing.

That's all I have to say on this topic! :evil:
