I hear you! Hit me up if you make it up to "the city" sometime. I'll tell you a funny story about something I overheard in a JeffCo pawnshop one time-- too long to post here.

:bawl: :bawl: :eek2: Quite interesting compilation of the english language used there. The Alvarea/Dana Scoop guitars are somewhat hard to find and rumor has it that they sound and play very well but I have never had the pleasure of playing one. Sounds like he is very knowledgeable of the Demon Issue as the Meth will most certainly fry the brain.

I have a Dana Scoop very similar to that one, except mine has the Dana pickups and maple fret board. While I wouldn't use the adjectives that this....erm....gentleman.... used, it is a beautiful beast to play. The 'Tri-Force' pickup is particularly growly and gives a very nice punchy sound. Neck is thin and super smooth to play, with a nice balance to it. I love the thing.

THe next bass I build will be borrowing the scoop idea, if not taking it further. :D
