      The answer to every TB question: "Because people buy them. Not everyone understands it, but they have a place in the world. Deal with it."

      Building a bass is much harder than I thought. But I'm learning a LOT!

      The older I get, the more expensive "birth year" basses get. Gotta start acting fast on that before they become antiques!
