I am! Very little time playing music from The Band, which was the original intention of her purchase, but a lot of time learning the different intricacies of jazz bass. She is very flexible!

Bruce, Coy, I hope you are both doing well. Are either of you impacted at by the fires around Los Angeles? I noticed that the most recent fire, north of Los Angeles, is near the Six Flags park I passed when I was driving from my son's house to visit the Secret Underground Laboratory. My...

I received an email from FedEx late last night telling me that they had an updated delivery date for #18 on Monday. This morning that date was updated to today. At about 11:00 #18 was finally delivered! No explanation, nothing from FedEx. At least the nightmare is over. She plays...

Bruce, There is no aspect of these basses in which you are not an expert. Genius!

Coy, I hope you get to try her out. You've had a lot to do with the completion of the final product. If Bruce needs to hold on to #018 for an extra week in order to give you time to come up and try her, I have no objection.

It is looking great, Bruce!

Can there be too much learning from one bass project? Oh well, I'm glad the QC team is alert!

Poor #018! It's like there is a conspiracy to keep her from being completed and whatever forces are conspiring against her are taking you out as collateral damage. Having medical issues flare up AND being without power in today's world is a very troubling twosome. If this keeps up you might...

And?

I'm sorry to hear of your trials and tribulations. For what it is worth, the picture you attached is beautiful!!!

Is today the big test day for #018?

Please take a video of Juan putting #018 through her long awaited paces if he is OK with that. Which scroll bass did I play when I was in your shop? That bass certainly had an impressive sound!

I am surprised at these developments, but only from ignorance. I am pleased that #018 continues her role in your R & D efforts. You seem more satisfied and she receives more attention when she is the focus of such efforts. We are getting closer to the finish line!

Sorry about the slow response, Bruce. I've had no updates on my feed since Fast Freddie's August 9 post. I then received a notice of Coy's initial post from yesterday and found two weeks of updates. Strange. I don't know if the TB website update had anything to do with that or not. I've...

Thanks for the perseverance, Bruce! Ol #018 is almost across the finish line. She is the product of so many of your innovations, you have almost developed a new series with her development.
