WOOPS
Well, had EVERY intention of being done :)
Basically my items on Evilbay sold VERY well.
Then the guy I was originally talking to (well he never got back to me) got back to me, after I had bought the above Music Man.
Well loooooong story short, I was offered a deal I could NOT refuse!!!! (kinda like my Warwick Bass find years ago).

So I bought a Brand New Ernie Ball Music Man Axis Super Sport (of which there are only 3 of in the world, as he won it for being best guitarist in a competion here in US). NICE paintjob (not fussed with the words, but LOVE the tribal design).
Anyway, cannot tell you what I paid for it as I still cannot believe it myself but now have FOUR guitars!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Good Lord. Now HAVE to stop LOL!

Three of this edition in the world.
They were presented to "best guitarist" at the Ermengenza Competion in 2005 (all other years got an Ernie Ball S.U.B. so it seems).
As said, not enthused on the writing on the guitar but love the design.

Here is the Emengenza details;

Ernie Ball site is down right now but will get details from them with the serial number.

Lets say it was LESS than the other one :)
Probably gonna sell/trade one when get back to Ole Blighty but will see.

As you can see it still has the tags etc. (he tried it at home once then put it in his closet! So basically brand spanking new.

Nope, I wouldn't if I had the cash although I find tribal stuff a bit tacky - could always get a refinish  :wink:

Well need some luck.
I am also closing on my house today. Yeah I know I am moving back to UK so why buy the house?
Well, landlady/owner asked if I was interested in buying (have lived in it for past 5 years) and she basically just wanted rid of it (she lives 3 hours drive away). It is valued at over $80,000 and I am paying $58,000. So although I will be turning around and putting it on the market pretty soon after buying it I think it was a no brainer.
I have to pay off credit cards and will most probably have a shortfall for what I can sell my and er indorr's cars for and what I owe so am praying the house profit will cover that.

Anyway, busy busy time. BUT, gotta have bitta luck.
My folks are getting older (my dad has terminal cancer, which is why I am moving back), I am a greencard holder but not a citizen yet (of US) so will lose all that.

Just need abit of luck :)

Those triabals look great. It makes the guitar look special.
