OK heres the Deal!

Post by ken_swearingen »

RJS and I have done a lot of talking on the phone and emails trying to get to the bottom of emails and all sort of stuff,we've talked about what happened with CME and Mark,He and Marc need to square that away,He swore he had nothing to do with the nasty emails i was receiving,and I do believe him without a doubt,He is a hard working family man,He even withdrew from the forum because he was so rattled at the accusations i made toward him , he was being framed,Anyway,he insisted on giving me a bass to try out and post a review I thought what a cool Idea,thats trust,I think he now understands us really well ,I would like to invite him back to the forum and be more of a participant.
Imagethe bass.

I don't think anyone here holds a grudge too long over a miscommunication. Please invite him to come back and join us.

Kenneth - please share what you think of that bass he sent you. If I remember correctly RJS mentioned he was affiliated with Waterstone guitars. I have been looking at some of there models but was leary of purchasing since all that transpired this week. However, it is a relief to know that you have worked it all out and that he had nothing to do with the emails. Please invite him back.

Robert Singer isn't just associated with Waterstone Guitars, he IS Waterstone Guitars! Brain surgeon by day, guitar company owner by night! I was shocked to hear what was unfolding because I have corresponded with Bob by e-mail in regards to his 12 -string basses and couldn't think that he would be behaving in such a way with Ken. I am relieved to hear that things are working out.

Now THATS what I'd like! Never was too fond of the Signature pickguard. Great Bass. I need a used V63 to have refinished. Any leads? Who did the cream paint job. LOOKS FANTASTIC!!!
