With the correct people and a shared background or musical vocabulary jamming can be an immense challenge and a lot of fun. It must be approached as a conversation and not as one guy wanking. A Love Supreme, VooDoo Child, Dark Star are all jams that are stellar and a real test on the bass...

Loved shop class in school keep it up young man, nice job :thumbsup:

Thanks Hopkins I guess I knew that but hate to see people devalue their work. It may make sense to figure out what you WOULD charge and offer a "friends discount" of a given % that way the friend will know what the farir market value of the work is. I am not a luthier but have a good friend who...
