Once more.
I would like the outside measurements of the rib depths, including the plates since all plates have different measurements.
Also, I would like the C bout rib depth, as well as the bouts. Not "from to".
Please drop those in inches.
I ask these questions for specific reasons. I am interested in the bass for specific reasons because, obviously, you're over there and I'm over here and a bass trunk would be involved.
A Private message might be a good idea too.
Thanks again.
EDIT: To be clear.....I have the trunk that I would send to you.
