Capt. Bob, you're still removed. Xena's last original episode aired in 2001! :shock: :lol:

Ouch! Thank you, for that perspective, Paul. I never saw an episode. Never saw 'Dallas' either. I suppose I'm not a big TV fan....although I do have a big TV.
Musically, I'm not always up on current styles either. Unless, I stumble on it in the 'Nashville Scene' or 'Shindig' magazine reviews. Those newer discoveries that come to mind lately are The Singles, (Inamorata, She's got a Heart of Stone) The Wicked Whispers (Amanda Lavender, Chronological Astronaut) to mention a couple.

My Favorite Martian, I used to watch. Along with Mr. Ed, The Jetsons, and who can forget the Beau Brummelstones.
Oh, god ....I'm old.

Hey guys,

I replied to the other thread on this but I purchased one of the 4003 CB Pearl Jet Glos and 4003 Metallic Plumglos from the same Japense vendor with all fees/shipping for around 529,000 yen (about $4,4000 US). That's cheaper than buying them domestic. The Pearl Jet Glo is more expensive in general. The yen is way down right now and he offered me a great discount since I bought both basses. I figured they'll be good investment pieces.

It really was extremely easy to deal with the Japense vender and both basses shipped directly to my house in the US in perfect condition in about 7 days.

I posted pictures of both bases in the other thread here:
