i assume a patch could be made to fit however the way he described it, its a rather large hole

if you can get it for a little less than 500 then you might as well buy it, then lather get the rib replaced, im out of this conversation because it seems like im stepping on everyones toes, but ill still check in to see how it progresses and what the ultimate decision is

for the record, i appreciated the input . . .

Hey Narco,

Not trying to make light of your question. Just having some fun.
And you saw my reply. I'd love to come across something like that so I could play around with some ideas without worrying about damaging a good bass.

This is only considered proper if you have the room....

There's 3 at my house and I know there's folks here who have more than that.

For a while my only upright was a 1934 Jaeger. Then I decided to find something newer as a backup, so I bought a 1942 Kay. I play them both regularly, although I tend to take the Jaeger to my weekly lesson, largely because my instructor has a 1933 and helped me track this one down.

I have 2 but it's only because I've never gotten around to selling my old one. One of these days, I need to take care of that.

A $500 DB is probably a good deal. I like the idea of a monitor sound hole!
