I recommend getting started w/ a teacher soon.. and you have a bow, right? If not, a teacher can introduce you to French/German bows and help you decide which style to go with. |

I'm not sure what the draw is, that makes me grab hold every time I walk by. Maybe it's the size or the warmth of the wood...whatever it is, it's hard to resist. Sort of liking dancing with a fat girl.

Eric, you must be gettin' close...... right? |

And welcome!
I found out that older, fretless EBs' like mine are about as rare as roaches, and that they are worth next to nothing on the market. So, I am giving it to my youngest son who plays those plugged in thingys.
I'll never touch it again, although I AM keeping my amp. You never know.
I start lessons next month. First UB lesson I have had in 49 years.
Life is good. |

Although, I did see a new AI on some web site...hmmm.
