http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...category=16222
Scroll down the bottom, there is a pic on this King Mortone. Neck looks cracked. Is that the kiss of death?
Any luthier opinions greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

How many basses does one man need? |

The neck needed replacing, which would enable correct alignment for steel strings. We don't know what else needed fixing, but $800 plus repairs could result in a nice bass.

Two sounds about right...well, maybe three...uh, well.....hmmmm...

| As the folks at HUMMER say, "Need is subjective."

So, to rephrase the question:
"How many plywood basses does one man need" |

Simply take the number of basses you currently own and add "1".

Chas | Does the "1" go in front of, or after, the current number?

Does the "1" go in front of, or after, the current number? | My thought was:
where b = number of current basses owned and n = number needed, n = b+1
But I went to a pretty liberal University. Go with whatever makes you comfortable.

Coincidentally, I learned a few things down the road from you: Fort Leonard Wood.
