I have been dividing my time between the 5er and an abused 4005 that I have had here for a very long time. The understanding and patient owner, John Minutaglio would like to see his bass again someday so I have been focusing more it for the last two weeks. The 4005 is getting a new fingerboard with MOP inlays. It has been a long journey getting it right.

Anyway, the next step for the 5er will be lots of sanding and a fret job, which I will show in progress. After that, I will get some pictures of the hardware being re-chromed. Then, the new finish will be applied. I will try to get lots of photos along the way.

You can learn a lot doing crossword puzzles!

Hey Ted, I forgot to ask, have you made any progress on the one-string bass?!

I've been listening to the Kahuna Cowboys and that jogged my memory.
