since nobody is posting lately, here's a new toy that just came in today

another 1989 series10 Bently bass - hey Mike, this one won't be coming to you..it is actually in WAY better shape than my other one

.

I know ... its been dead around here. I just haven't worked on anything or bought anything new. Soon, soon.

Yeah mike. That s10 looks in great shape! Got the hh going on and everything.

How come is it I been 20+ years playing bass and never heard of series10?

ya this one has no scratches dents nicks no grime on the FB, just a perfect old unit that was never used in a filthy dirty bag that looks like it was in the closet for 20 years. 125.00 shipped I couldn't say no.

and you mean Bently. The electric guitar line was proprietary to be sold out of StLouis Music only like a GuitarCenter special.

Distributed in the U.S. by St. Louis Music in St. Louis, MO. (Later called 'Crate')
St. Louis Music imported Bently instruments as their entry-level to medium quality solid body guitar and bass line. Most models featured designs based on classic American favorites.

Tons of good reviews if you search for Bently but unless you bought one out of one of their distributors or from the store you didnt see em.

I had just recovered from tennis elbow in my left arm when my dog & I decided to pull as hard as we could at the exact same time. I felt my tendon go "pop" in my right arm. We acted together in perfect unison!
It takes 6-8 weeks of no use to heal a tendon. I just have been unable to play in the last 8 months. Between working (50 hour weeks) & my arms, I just can't find the time or energy to play lately.

oh man I feel bad you aren't able to play, but you don't use your bassplaying as weekly income, so that's a good thing at least.

I confess that between work and the band, I've been busier than usual. But things should go back to "normal" after the summer.

I've been playing a bit. The rest of the time, I'm working or spending time with friends.

Fun looking guitar there, Mike.

ya they look kinda cute together

Indeed!
