From the mouth of my wife.....
I was showing my wife the photos of Joey Vasco's 4004Cii/5 and she mentioned how the Translucent Red finish would make a nice compliment to my Translucent Blue 4004Cii.
Like I need any more reason to order one......

If you think all is going well, you've obviously overlooked something.

Hehe...nice to have supportive women. When I grabbed my FG Laredo recently-on impulse-my wife was a little chagrinned, as I had ben talkeing about a mapleglo...
Then she saw it, and was awed!
And any time I mention even thinking of selling my 75 4001 she puts her foot down to squash that idea...
Gotta love her!

Ha Ha, Kevin that's exactly what my wife does. She could care less. Actually she does like my $200 Rogue Beatle bass the best. She says she likes the looks of it, but I bet it's the cost
What works best for me is the old "It's a great investment sweetie". Usually works most of the time.

Buy it before someone else does.

"It's a great investment sweetie"
That's how I've been able to get some of my basses as of late. In fact, I used a line similar to that one day when I was at the local shop trying a Fullerton-era '62 Reissue Jazz Bass. I called her and said, "I'm getting ready to make an investment", to which she replied, "What kind of bass is it now?".

I used to restore old British sports cars for a hobby. When I would find one I really wanted (and already had 4 others at home) I would tell my wife "I found this great Harley Davidson..." nowing there is no way she would ever let a motorcycle at out house. When she would put her foot down on the Harley idea I casually bring up "...well there was also this MG that was really cute..." Being so gratefull that I wasn't pushing the motorcycle idea any further she would be much more agreeable to what I was interested in in the first place, the MG.
I haven't tried this with a bass yet...hmmm maybe tonight I should go look at some Harleys.

Ron, you may have quite a wait for that five-stringer. I've pulled it off production for now to make some further changes to the design. (You'll note it's not on the 1 April 2005 price list.) This comes from having spent some time more recently with one in my studio and I think I can make it better.
