Y'know Matthew, it's comments like this that ain't helping out in the Patiently Waiting department. :mrgreen:

Jake, that tells me that you don't exactly need a 1998PT or 1997SPC VB to have The Who's sound. A 1997, a 360, or even a 330 may work until you finish college. :D

Remember, it wasn't until I was in my late 40s before I got my first Rickenbacker.

I believe it! I walked into the dealer and there were a good 7 or 8 Rics on the wall. Not good...especially now. Those steady paychecks that I've been drawing have been awesome, but being a teacher just doesn't get the big bucks like it should.
