Internet..... yes it is, but in this case is the Forum and all the fantastic people here. I already said this to Steve (Ben), but I will say it to all of you: If you guys ever need any pick ups or anything in Missouri, do not hesitate to ask me. Thank you all so much for all the expertise and advice . Steve - you are the greatest!!!!!!!

I agree, Kris. In my statement I included this great forum, along with worldwide sales on ebay, instant emailing, and instant paying with internet accounts, making this sale happen for you.

This is the most helpful and decent group of people I've ever met. Jason Jdog said it best after the 75th SoCal Confluence last year - it's like having 50 instant best friends. Only now the numbers are growing.

When I joined it was like having ten best friends, this forum has grown a real lot in the past few years.

Kris, Steve has made the pick up and is on his way home... good reviews so far.

I remember those days Bob!

Yes, I think the days of knowing everyone in the forum are gone. I miss the archives too, I whiled many an hour away when I lived in Lima in internet cafes reading the archives, some of them went back to the year 2000-2001 I believe.

Bob,

Head down to the bottom here in the bass section...

How long have those been there Andy? I just found my first post, 4-26-03. Now if we had the ask a Ric repairmen or what ever it was called it would stop a lot of posts asking old questions that have been answered years ago.

Peter put them up about a month ago Bob IIRC...

The old files with Mark Arnquist are still out there in Peter's cyberworld I'd imagine.

I also threw a little party for the guest of honor...
All her relatives and some close friends attended.

Everyone had a good time and no one got hurt.
They're all safely tucked away in there beds now.

Still a true Blue Boy. Nice one. When does she ship out?

mrs_brown · Post by **mrs_brown** » Sun May 20, 2007 3:38 pm

Tomorrow right after dinner.. we wouldn't want to send her away hungry...
We hope she has a very safe trip..

Here is hoping she never yellows (er, greens out) on you!

Beautiful perfect bass, Kris, congratulations!!!
