Got Myself A Cheyenne!

Post by spongebob »

After much searching, and mucking about with customs, VAT, and everything else...

I've got myself a 2008 (ex-demo) 4004 Cheyenne 2 in Fireglow!

Check it out -

The tone is darker than the Laredo, but in a good way. Man, does this have some bass!

Over here these things just aren't around. Now I've got it, I'll never let it go! :D :D

These basses really are something else. I'll never afford an LK in a million years, so for me it's the next best thing! No-one normally wants to ship to the UK - dealers won't ever, and over here they talk about £3000 and over 2 years!

So it's a relief to finally get one. I'm quite excited as you can tell! :D :D

These things ARE what members say. I am a believer! :D :D :D :D :D

Wow, looks nice! Glad to hear you like yours too!
I have NO idea what to do with those skinny stringed things... I'm just a bass player...

Wow! That is the nicest FG I've seen. I'd keep it even if it sounded like poo.

Nice catch Iain. Congrats!
