Definitely nothing but best wishes from me for your current situation.
Be well, indeed.

Glad to see the bass (fantastic job on the colour, and I really dig the brass accents on the bridge), but even more glad to hear you're still alive and kickin'!  Keep your head up bro! Better times are always on their way, yeah? |

|  | Dangerous User | | Join Date: Oct 2011 Location: Fort Wayne, IN | | | Yeah, that's a very special bass, and that's why so many of us were just dying to see her finished. You should be very proud of what you have done here, and hopefully some of the good will you earned from that will carry over into other things. Scarlett Johansson is too young for me, but she's a very lovely girl, and I don't get why anyone wouldn't think so; the same is true for your bridge. What you have done there is very nice, and matches the rest of the work. I especially like what you did above the nut. Everything up there is just delicious.
You will never post too many pictures or sound clips on this thread.
Good to know you're still out there, and weren't killed by weird Aussie insects.

|  | Resident Hack and General Waste of Gear | | Join Date: Jan 2011 Location: Micco Florida | | | Wow! That really came out great! I started working on my RB850 over Christmas break, but haven't had anymore time for it since. I can't wait to get back on it though because as beat as it was, it still played and sounded great.
BTW, I appreciate the "tutorial" in this thread. It has come in handy on mine!

Also, that is an AMAZING bass. Fantastic job, they should start producing coins like that.

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Dec 2012 Location: Montreal | | | Probably a dumb question, but I've go to ask, is the OP a luthier by trade?
I just patted myself on the back for adjusting the pickup height on my own, but this is just ridiculous. I really hope he is a luthier, otherwise I'm going to be severely depressed about my (non-existent) wood/paint/metal working skills.
Anyway, just beautiful, thanks for sharing.
