Please, enabling other people's GAS is my mission in life. A German lawyer friend has spent a king's ransom on the rare Gibsons I've put him onto. His collection is mindbending in cost, scope and pointlessness.
 
Anyway, whatever good juju I've shown the two of you gentlemen seems to have paid off...yesterday I picked up a fairly elderly but well-preserved plywood German upright for FREAKING $250 and I'm buzzing. Only took me 12 years to finally buy one of the things.
 
Frank -- when the CD is done, please drop a copy in the mail headed my way. Can't wait to hear what that bass sounds like in your hands.
 
Todd -- I went to two SUNY colleges, which you may know are chock full of Long Islanders, so I learned to avoid the place. Kidding. I would love to swing by, time and schedules permitting.

Hi,
 Got to play with Harvey Citron in Manhattan this weekend with my band - here is a video link. The bass is a maple 1980 VC
 

Youtube says the video got removed. Is there another link?

Cool,
but the link brings me to a page saying :  
This video has been removed by the user.  
 
...looking forward to seeing you and your VC in action.
