the zemaitis bass is a beautiful instrument. i had the pleasure of playing it down at chandlers last week and it is fantastic.  if i won the lottery it would be coming home with me lol.

You said you went to Chandler last week. Did you ask the seller where the Mandolin is?

it is quite big, im 6ft 5 and its still quite large. but it is a magnificent looking guitar and really well looked after!

as for the mandolin, it definately isnt there anymore - no idea who it went to. again that was a lovely looking instrument.

I think Mike left a clue in each of his instruments and will launch a treasury hunt.  Refrain from tuning your new acquisition! This could irremediably destroy a precious clue.

can't agree more with mine as well, resonant and warm is exactly how I would sum it up.  Maybe we should start a club, the ex-oldfield Ramirez club? There must be at least 3 of us.
