It's such a humble guy, I never wanted something in return from him. He is still around, didnt made it with building guitars, he was a to little of a businessman. Pitty cause his instruments are awesome. He only build one bass again after mine, so it is a real collectorsitem;) , but one which will never leave my house. It one of my most precious belongings. For the instruments itself but mostly cause of the reason and way I got it.
