Hi Guys,

I am posting to show you some of my latest builds. I used Frequency Central's (aka Rick's) overhead transparency film trick to finish these. I am still perfecting it, but it works much better than paint for me. These are built in $4 Radio Shack boxes I scored recently.

So, first up, a couple of views of the family:

Your boxes look great Doc!! 8)

Nah!  I'll bet it's a beach towel.  OK, I HOPE it's a beach towel.

At this bass forum I read, there's a guy called Tom Bowlus; we make fun of him because he approximately one jillion dollars worth of gear, but the ugliest psychedelic carpet on earth.

well, I'll go for a bead top. Ether way the pic is outstanding. The red sort of have taken over and "conterminated" the whole thing. The comic part is that there is a sound frequency generator that stands on a pice of fabric that produces almost all light frequencies. so lets call this piece of art "340, the light speed of sound".  ;D

The guy's a rich lawyer, and he has more gear than any other person I've seen online.

Full list of gear: http://bowlusblog.blogspot.com/2006/01/bowlus-bass-borg.html

Sorry for the derail, folks.

Can he play the bass?! Maybe it's just a bad GAS gone wild to compensate his poor playing skills?!
I believe that a lot of times less is better...

Perhaps you should refer him to the "DIY-ers repent!! Think of your families" thread from the Lounge, started by Mark Hammer.

It's possible he buys and sells as investments. Most of that isn't vintage gear though, I don't think...

He also writes for Bass Player or some magazine and probably gets a lotta good deals from that.

Nope, not vintage. Bass players are not as into vintage gear as guitarists, especially vintage amps, as bass amps pre-SVT are mostly unusable. Not investments; the value only goes down when he buys them.

It's Bass Gear Magazine, which he owns, so I don't think that really helps him get gear. He does at least make some coin telling people his opinions of the gear. But as I said, he's a lawyer and I'm fairly sure that's the source of his gear money.

He seems like a nice guy though, so I'm not hating on him.

Just so long as he's not one of those people who brag about all their gear then it's cool.
