    I bought mine at the Hipshot factory in Interlaken, NY. Right in the heart of the Finger Lakes of NY where I grew up, and just a couple hours before I got the chance to sit w/ Mr. Sklar for a bit before his gig w/ Lyle Lovett in Geneva, NY, summer of '22.

      Hi, small world I live near Syracuse and went to college there. Saw Genesis twice at the Dome, and Phil solo at Saratoga for the But Seriously tour!! I went to the House of Guitars in Rochester and bought an effects pedal for my guitar. I met Chester Thompson at the Drum clinic on James st. in Syracuse and got an autographed photo. I admire Leland for his ability to sound fresh on each project while still recognizing that its him playing. Geddy Lee and Chris Squire are the only other bassists that carry their signature sound !!!
