Not All Doom & Gloom

So last night I met with one of the client's I was talking about in my previous post. He's pretty keen to get the ball rolling, and things look pretty good for him. In saying that, he might have a default issue which will change things slightly. It means that we can't really do what we originally intended to do, but we can still make it work just the same.

I also met with Brad & John in town after Uni. We raced over to JRs to have a gander at a few different potential bass guitars that we might be able to purchase for our Corps. John and I had a look and a play of a couple. There were a few there I didn't mind, and a few that I would have loved to get my hands on... but were a little out of the price range. In the end, it was decided between Brad, the salesman and myself that the Fender Squire was the go... the P-Bass. I like the warmer sound the P pickups give, but also dig that funky, twangy J pickup sound for certain tunes. The P Bass was the most versatile and felt good under the fingers, kept its tune well and had decent factory intonation setups which I liked. John had gone by the time the decision was made, but he had looked at the J version, essentially the same guitar but not as versatile. We got it at a pretty decent price, and a gig bag thrown in. We did forget the strap though. How could we forget a strap??????????????

Anyway, back to the not all doom & gloom... In my last post I was pretty negative about the client situation. After last night, I'm pretty certain I've got at least one of them sewn up, which I'm happy about. To put a positive spin on it, it's one more client that I didn't have before last night. Now I just need to get the application forms filled out and signed. Of course, before we can do that I need to know if he does have a default against his name or not (which is why we didn't do an application last night).

I haven't had a chance to chat to the very valuable client yet. I was hoping to get hold of him last night but wasn't able to. I've managed to find another couple of ways to do what he wants to do which is always good to know. Might be the difference between taking him on board and nabbing his whole portfolio and losing an extremely valuable client with potential for a lot of work in the future. I've already lost one of those in the last 12 months and it hurts. Trying not to let that happen again.

Continued the devotional studies last night. I'm finding the things we're reading about very intriguing. Not necessarily overly relevant to my current situation directly but intriguing and applicable in other ways... and most likely directly applicable in the not so distant future.
