OK, Im not playing one, but since I had them out for routine maintenance, I thought I'd update with a pic.

I'd love to post larger pics, can anyone tell me how the photobucket thing works ????

7!?!?! Now you're just showing off. ;)

Stunning collection, Scott. I like the BBR and DG the best. Man, you've got more low notes than Barry White!

wow.... I'm going to go out on a limb here and assume you play bass..... whew, very pretty. I love that maple/black combo on the right ... so classy.

Kent, that originaly was a '76 white 4001 that was stripped and modified with a Gibson humbucker and lots of switches. I found it without a finish, and a real ugly homemade "purple" pickguard. Bought it for a song, sprayed it clear, and made into a psuedo model 4000. A very light, great sounding bass.

Scott, gorgeous collection; I'm jealous. The Desert Gold is my favorite, but you've got some real beauties there.

That's a nice collection Scott! I think my favorite is your trans red Cii.
Send me the pic, let me see if I can resize it to that maximum allowable size.
JETGLO should officially be renamed JETGLO ROCKS! :-)

Ok, so it's not plugged in...

and I'm really just being an idiot in front of the camera...

But I'm sort-of playing it!

Noel... Actually it's the silly way I play an "A". It doesn't really look like it in the photo but the only finger that's forming any notes is my index finger, and my thumb is muting the low "E" string.

Steve... LOL. If I'm ever around you just get very worried when I start playing "Stuck In The Middle With You"!

Melissa... Yeah, I think the strap's cool too and really suits the guitar. I have used an identical one on my black Telecaster for a long time and I was lucky enough to get another for my Jetglo 330 when I bought it.

Jeffrey... this could be the next colour of the year - Fadeglo.
