Bass! How Low Can You Go?!

Death row? What a brotha' knows. Limited Ed. may not know how to play bass (but he can sure as hell sing bass), but he does know a pretty one when he sees it. And this Limited Ed. 2004 Music Man Stingray:



is no exception. Just look at the fine craftsmanship, the exquisite mother-of-pearl finger board, the special Limited Ed. neck plate, and the gold silk-screen text on the headstock. Also, check out this Limited Ed. 2004 Music Man Stingray 5:



It has a different body style from the other Limited Ed. Stingray, kind of like the variations in body style of my favorite automobile. Music123 also has some Limited Ed. Acoustic Basses as well as this Limited Ed. Michael Kelly Legacy Dragonfly Flame Mandolin:



And this exceptionally cool Epiphone Bob Marley Commemorative Les Paul:



It has a portrait of Bob on the body of the guitar, Jamaican flag color inlays on the fret board, "One Love" on the headstock, a built-in spliff holder, and a pound of fresh Lamb's Bread stashed in the body. Okay, so those last two things are not true, but they should be, in order to honor Bob's memory, or lack thereof. It does include a hemp gig bag, though. So put that in your pipe and smoke it.

I once worked for a guitar shop that carried Epiphone Guitars. We got a shipment of "limited edition" sparkle top guitars one time and the owner really liked them. He thought they would be big sellers so he wanted me to call our Epiphone rep and see how limited they are so that he would know if we should order more before they run out. When I called Epiphone, I asked "exactly how limited are these?" and the response was "limited to the amount we can make". That still makes me chuckle.
