Finally, something to blog about!

Well it's been kinda quiet the last month or so but things in the gear department have finally picked up again thanks to Uncle Sam's yearly gear incentive.

The MarkBass CMD 151P Jeff Berlin signature combo amp finally manifested and I couldn't be happier with it! I bought it used ( always do when available) for about $425 less than what  new one costs.

My only complaint is that I need to get one of those sticky lint rollers because the previous owner must have had a cat. At any rate, I'll give the thing a full "Brazilian" this weekend and find a cover for it.

On the horizon but unfortunately being held up by the "Snowpocalypse"....

....I was finally able to find a used Fender Road Worn Jazz bass in the "Fiesta Red" color that I've been wanting..

I was able to get it at a KILLER price as well!! $425 less than the price of a new one! Couldn't believe it! It was supposed to have been delivered Tuesday, 2/17/15, but is in Limbo at the FedEx facility in Nashville. I wonder why companies like that don't have contingency plans for inclement weather. C'mon, FedEx!!

I guess it's because I'm getting older but I find I have less patience than I used to have. Oh well, not much I can do about it....

Finally, to round out my backline, I placed the order with Carvin for the BX1600 amp along with an AC120S Power Conditioner. This should give me all the "oomph" I need! Some other things on the horizon but I'll go into that a little later.

Stay warm!!!
