No, I would just be the slightly fat kid who has high self esteem but who hates you regardless.
And, you know you just create the image of the hideous nerd with low self esteem who must try to impress people on the internet by bragging of very expensive purchases to compensate for your miserable social skills?

got an email from cliff today!
2 weeks until the specs and 50% down is due.
Since the is the Christmas season, close to the 50% will be fine.
Your bass will start early January!!
I attached your specs sheet so you can get the last few specs figured out.
Take care,

Goin' with black lines and black hardware, and a volume/blend set up. Cliff's looking forward to it, says he loves the 6-string fretlesses. 50% of the $ will be going to him within a week or so.

This top is going to look great with the Bloodwood fingerboard.

Who is a very badass bass player. The pocket he lays down with Michelle Comillo on From Within is awesome. One of my favorite tunes
