Bass Central Customers & friends

As a new feature, we'll be posting pix of some of our customers. They may have certain distinctions, an interesting bass, or just something to contribute in one way or an../other. Our customers are all invited to send photos of themselves with their instruments, ../other gear, or perhaps in a humorous musical scenario. *Bass Central will, of course, discriminately decide which ones are posted.

Teresa Reynolds from Ashville, NC with her Musicman Stingray Anniversary NAMM Bass to commemorate the 100th year of the association. The Limited Edition model comes in Inca Silver with Black Pearloid Pickguard and features a Status Graphite Neck. 100 were made, with 50 going overseas, 1 to NAMM, leaving only 49 for the entire USA. As the top MM bass dealer, we received two, with the second one staying here at Bass Central behind Plexiglas. 
*Here's a perfect example of "First come, first served". Teresa was the first to inquire about the model after hearing about it and immediately pre-purchased the first one to arrive. Subsequently, we received dozens of customers ready to purchase to no avail. Congrats on your timing, Teresa!

“Hi guys, just a quick mail to say thanks very much for sorting me out with my Warwick Thumb lefty 5 back in January. The service you provide is phenomenal, I've not been to any other shop that's close! This was the second bass that I've bought from you and I'll look forward to getting another one from you guys in the future. Yours is the only shop I'd recommend for bassists worldwide! Thanks again!
