Yep, he's definitely making a grab for your bass. Good thing he has no feet!

I am glad that the snow has melted, it was nice for Christmas but a pain to get to work in the New year.

No checking of the finish when you brought it back in, Shawn?

I certainly wouldnt be taking mine out in the open too long it was -11 in Glasgow and being out too long and bringing back into the warm is tempting fate.But i do think Frosty likes a bit of coldplay......johnallg wrote:No checking of the finish when you brought it back in, Shawn?
BTW just out of curiosity with the hollow bodies models having a cavity is their more a chance of Finish Checking than say a solid body as the cavity can hold the cold longer than say a Solid body????

I would think he'd only have to worry about checking if it was outside in the cold for a few hours.

The finish is fine the bass was only outside for a couple of minutes.
