Oh yeah, we could hook you up!  I've bought a lot of stuff celebrating my first brush with cancer.  Not gonna stop me now!

Found a case that is just a hair wide, but the basses fit into.  Will need a little extra padding at the bridge and one lower bout.  Should be too hard to add.  Reasonable, too.  It's a Douglas HB model, $59 plus shipping.  Not top of the line, but much better than a gig bag.

The funny part is a little tag in the top of the left corner.  Yes, it actually says:  DO NOT EAT.

Got the first bass back and it's a beauty.  This is a semi-hollow, maple top mahogany  body, vintage white.  Going to put the hardware on tomorrow and see how she sounds!

That's going to look mighty fine.

Thanks Dave, gonna work on it today.  I did discover that I don't have the correct size tuners and had to order some, so it will take longer than I had planned to put it all together.  I will get it wired up today.

Thanks Brad, I appreciate it from a fellow builder.  Can't wait to get it all together.
