The compliments (and a big thank you) go to Diane and Joey, who did a lot of the photography.
If anyone wants any particular pic, with a higher resolution, send me an e-mail and I'll get it to you.

I second everything Rich said. Quite fun.
Paul's matching Chuck T's and the Big Red were awesome!

That Kubicki Ex-Factor Bass of Scott's is pretty cool! Not the first time I've played it.
Gary & Rich, thanks for posting those pics!

Collin -- can you clarify about your Maple Glo model --- It looks like Toasters, Dot Fret markers, R Tailpiece and 21 Frets ... but no Whammy Bar and no Binding; No third pickup .
Isn't that a 330
