Events of 1943:
WWII continues.
The Original Carter Family breaks up after their WBT radio in Charlotte contract ends. Sara moves to Cailfornia, A.P. moves home and opens a general store, and Maybelle continues the Carter legacy by forming “Mother Maybelle and The Carter Sisters” who perform on WRNL Richmond, Virginia.
King Records launched in Cincinnati in November.
One of Country’s greatest future stars, Elvis Presley, debuts on stage at age eight with Red Foley’s hit, “Old Shep.” http://www.bluegrassmessengers.com/1...1new-page.aspx

Upton Bass reset the neck, installed the ebony fingerboard, nut, saddle and bridge.
In addition, luthier Mike Asetta installed and fitted the new spruce sound post, closed the seams and performed final setup.

Would you consider shipping the bass (for a fee, of course)?

I prefer to keep it local to avoid the risks of shipping a DB, however I will drive an hour+ to deliver!
