At work a NS design WAV electric upright bass came for sale; was fun to play but then I heard the latest OM cd, which has a bunch of bowed upright on it...suddenly I want this bass but know that I'll pay a grand for a bass that'll never leave my house as I am unlikely to write songs that require bowed upright...as we all know reason does not always win, so I may be owing my boss money soon...or maybe I'll resist...I'll keep y'all posted...Tony
