Messenger Bass!!

I'm getting my new Messenger bass just before I leave! If you play bass and haven't seen these, you need to check them out: www.messengerbass.com The builder is my friend John Knutson who lives in California. He's an amazing craftsman and has designed the best electric upright bass out there. The perfection in construction detail only matches the outstanding upright bass tone! It feels just like an upright and when amplified sounds just like one too! I've recommended these basses to 5 of my professional bass playing friends in Venezuela and they are extremely happy with their basses. These guys just happen to be the top bass players in Venezuela too, so they're no neophytes. I'd be glad to show mine to anyone in the NY area that is interested. Since John doesn't advertise and has no "show" instruments, this is the only way to play one.
Check it out and if you buy, tell him Mark Brown sent you. I like him to know how much I appreciate his phenomenal work.
