Free Books (and a set of TI Acousticores)

I got to the sorting books phase of packing this morning and made a pile
of bass books. These are things that accumulated over 33 years of
studying and playing and I'd like to give them to good homes. All I ask
is that you Paypal me the shipping cost after I send them. That would be
the real shipping cost plus the price of the new postal service plastic
envelope...in North America I'd guess between $6 and $12 depending on
weight but i'll send them anywhere in the world. Don't ask about
shipping costs in advance please, I don't have time to check that for
you. If you want to check yourself the stuff will be shipping via Canada
Post from Vancouver, BC, Canada V5T 4R8

For the record I'm not necessarily going to do a first come first serve
thing here...for example Carr has dibs on the sight reading books. ;)
I'll leave the list up a few days and try to send them out the next
couple of weeks.

To request something please email me with your shipping address.

you want something.

I just spit my coffee. Too funny! You *will* be missed. The only good
thing about your decision is that a lot of us just moved up a notch in
the world rankings.

Glad I could make ya spit coffee...that's what friends are for.

*ADDITION TO THE LIST*
Modified shape (swept off the Pre p.up partially exposing it and cut
further forward for a neck position Jazz p.up) tortoise shell Fender
Precision pickguard. Probably not much practical use to anyone but it's
autographed by Graham Maby. Graham got a big kick outta me being VERY
clear I didn't want Joe Jackson to sign it, just him. I've lit a lot of
serious bass players over the years and Graham is the only guy I ever
asked for an autograph...a memento from my days as lighting tech at the
Commodore Ballroom. It should be on someone's music room wall not hidden
away in storage...I know there're a few Maby fans out there.

Cello suites sound cool to me - mind if I snag that, Jeff? Should sound
cool on the Allen, I think.

Zev, for what ever stupid reason I don't have yer real email and you
mailed me from yer newsreader with the fuck you spammers address so my
reply bounced. I don't have the Cello suites but maybe got something
better. You gotta come Sunday though as I HAVE to move crap into storage
Monday bright and early.
Call me.
