I'll say it once again: congrrrrratulations!

The fingerboard was quite a challenge. I learned a lot of useful technique on that one. I am very pleased to see how wonderful the whole bass looks now. It was such the ugly duckling when we started the project. I will get to see it face to face very soon.

Ted, I hope that means you are going to the 75th! Otherwise, I'll be sure you see it in the wood/varnish soon. I still owe you . . . .

Paul does great work, Paul. The first words you'll say when you see it are "Ultra-bitchin'!!!"

I'll (we'll) be there.

That bass looks beautiful. I can't wait to see it at the 75th. The color sort of looks like a black cherry soda in some of he pics.

Ted you are coming to the 75th? I hope so.

Excellent, Ted! Driving with a van load of basses, or flying in?

rickfan60 · Post by **rickfan60** » Tue Aug 15, 2006 2:49 pm

Flying. No basses, unfortunately.

I didn't know that. Holding out on us Ted? LOL
Looking forward to meeting you.

A very attractive bass. That fingerboard looks great too...
