I use D'Addario Chromes in the Super Soft set with the .060 D string replaced with a .055. I am toying with the idea of going back to the TI Jazz Rounds for one or two of the basses; I recently got a P Bass California and the rounds on it (GHS Boomers, not my first choice) are addicting!
Man, if John brings two of everything there won't be room for anyone else's instruments!

I guess I should bring some tools, huh?
Any good sushi bars around there?

I need to be pushed over the edge. I've got frequent flyer miles I can cash in, and my nephew lives in Haymarket, less than an hour's drive. Maybe I can keep my Confluence attendance perfect (this will be No. 4, by the way). Gotta shoot more basses for the book. John Williams, is that 4005 Blue Boy a refin?

Paul, there's always going to be basses you haven't seen. Sorry, but you must be there.
Tools, Jeff? For a sushi bar? Now I'm nervous..
For the guitars and basses? Yes tools would help. I think a parts swap is probably in order. We should all bring some extra parts and stuff to swap.

John, I realize RIC doesn't do customer refins anymore but I'm curious to know what the turnaround time and cost was on your refin?

Well, since I don't see any 4002's on the list I'll have to attend.
This will give me a good chance to show off my refinished 4002 from Dale Fortune, and especially to meet some fellow forumites.
I have yet to see in person a 4005, and I know Jeff, and Chris will have a few there, and Brian's Lemmy. How can I pass this up.
Thanks for getting this together John!

Is it okay if I bring a different kind of Rick?

What kind of Rick did you have in mind?

That looks more like a "Rique" than a Rick....
