cool krill, nice to hear there are other fender/boogie lovers out there. I get bummed when all I see are the young guys playing peavey or ibanez five string basses. though I have been eyeing a Ken Smith fiver... afraid my wallet can't handle that quite yet. I am hoping to find some time this winter to hole up and do some recording again, i have an old Tascam Studio 8 1/4 inch reel to reel multitrack recorder and a few nice mics....we'll see if time allows.
