Alisha,

I gave up on them a long time ago.

I was looking for a sweet Autumn Glo 4001, the year wasn't important, but I wanted one in VG to Excellent condition. I was hoping I'd get lucky.

But, now with the 75th Anniversary guitars starting to ship, I better keep the old credit card close to the vest.

I also have to start saving my pennies for a project I have in mind for Paul.

So many guitars, so little money! Image

Alisha,
Are you talking about the GC up in Lynwood? I avoid that place like the plague. The in Southcenter isn't even better.
Of all the local GC's the one by Lake Union is the best to get deals. I go there for all my basic recording needs and manage to walk away with deals since I make them match with other local places.

The one in Lynnwood is closest to me but I made the treck to Kirkland because I heard they had a better pro audio dept. Quite a few vintage vox amps. Good to know about Lake Union! Thanks Edgar!

I took the 4004LK into the local GC in El Cerrito to try out chorus pedals. The manager came up to me and said "nice bass, what is it ?"

I got the Boss CEB-3 Bass Chorus. It's got effects level, a low filter, the usual rate and depth, and both mono and stereo outputs. It's more than enough just to color a few passages here and there. I've used Boss on and off for years now, and they seem really reliable and robust.

Thanks - I tried a EH Small Clone, bought the Boss CEB-3, a Digitech XBC, and an Ibanez CF7. After a few days with them, I kept the Ibanez as it was the nicest sounding. Didn't want to spend more.
