Just LOVE that bass. Been a long time in the making, but will be worth every single second of the time it took to give it life!!
Let's hear it sometime!!

Photographing this bass has been a huge challenge. I managed to get this one:
 

 
which I like, but it still doesn't compare. After over almost 200 images, rearranging furniture and drafting many helpers, I had to give it to Mary so she could get it in the big box. Our plan is Monday leaving, that puts it to you on Thursday, is that a good day to receive?

Thursday should be cool. I'm out of town until the following Monday or so, but my roommates are there and I can easily have it arranged to be couriered to my studio where it will be safe and sound until I can get to it.  
let me know if everything is okay!
