Very sad to hear about this.
I haven't logged in here for quite a while, so I was very surprised when I saw the new name for the projects forum.
A while ago I exchanged some messages with the Doc, asking for help on a project I was doing at the time. He was very helpful and took some time to take some measurements of one of his basses to help on my project.
His help was crucial for the sucesses of my project, and for that I will forever be thankfull.
I've sent him pictures of the finished bass, and thanked him for his help. He responded: "Wow, that turned out beautiful! Glad I could help!".
Those were simple words, but somehow that made me fell very proud about my work. It was like being a kid at school and getting the teacher's approval for something good I made.
Thank you, Doc! R.I.P.
