Good call Brian. Do you guys get "jaffa cakes" over there?

I wouldn't just rely on cookies. Bring cookies and an attractive woman pilot!

oh my friend...if you knew jaffa cakes you wouldn't care about a woman pilot!

Guys, it only takes ONE of these to get in. But on second thought, with all the publicity here, maybe we need to raise it to two.

Robert,

Y'know, I've heard many things described as being "better than sex". However, I've yet to find anything for which that description actually applies when put to the test.

To quote David Lee Roth: "Women. Mmmm-mmmm, women!"

Or, to slightly change one of my favorite jokes:

Q. What's the difference between a drum and sex?

A. You can beat a drum...

I know two attractive female pilots. I've never tried their cookies, though. Ba-dum-bum!

Sorry, just trying to stay involved in the story.

Awesome photos. In the bass shots at the end, we see a bass with three and one tuner set up like a Music Man. That's no Ric I ever seen.

I believe that's the prototype that Forrest White built when he worked at Rickenbacker Marc.

Rickenbacker didn't quite like the look of it and rejected it as a possible model.
Forrest White later went on to work with Musicman....so I suppose that bass could be considered as the Musicman prototype...built at Rickenbacker!

Ben typed:
"650's and a Lemmy in the paint room?

But why?"

Has Kenny been downstairs again?

Guess #2: Some VIP wanted them in some finish other than Tung Oil.

Ben, we've waited long enough....what is the deal with those instruments????
