:) and GAS free since 3 years..I wasn't even writing here.. :lol: ... but you know ... maybe sth. tickles again soon :D

The CS JB marked my Sound from the first note in 2009 till this day - Ash body, RW board, Singles in 60ies location... so I spec'd my Fodera 5 to the same specs - Bolt-On , of course - (only a different fretboard) and it turned out as to be the same Killer :D

The fretless on the left is my old Emperor which used to be a fretted Bass but since I got Fenderized in 2008 I moved away from the Neckthrough sound... and let it transform to a fretless in 2013.. Glad I did - it sounds great that way and get's played more often again... would like to let it be refinished in White :lol: :lol: :lol:

Your recovery from GAS is an inspiration to us all and gives us all hope for ourselves.

I am down to six. I have one or two that I would be willing to part with, but I am happy to keep them, as well.

Don't think you should paint the fretless... that top-wood is gorgeous!

It's never too late to call your sponsor and get to a meeting.

Rigorous honesty - you haven't been buying other gear?

Me:

"OK, yes I bought 3 acoustic guitars this month but at least they're not basses!"

(denial)

:D

That's ebony? Wow, looks great. Why would so many manufacturers dye that black when used as a fingerboard, when it looks so pretty in itself?
