Happy New Year Susie!
Santa was kind this year - I must have been a good boy (for a change). I got a Fender Jazz Bass from my better half - I guess she got fed up with me whining (and sometimes wining) each time my bass-playing friend asked for his loaner back. I haven't had a lot of time playing it yet, as daughter #2 has sort of claimed it herself, but I won't complain - girl bass-players are one of the coolest things in the world...
