    Where did October go?

    I just noticed that forum has diverted back to September 30, 2011...

    Is there something I missed or did we have to go back to recover from a crash?

    Just letting the Admins know.

    Age has little to do with a bass' qualities. In fact, older "known" years of certain equipment is worth a LOT.
