Matthew,

I've been following the building here and on the "other site" and all I can say is WOW. That is a stunning bass and seeing it come to life was a lot of fun. Thanks for sharing!

Mike,

Nice look. I was away for a couple of weeks and logged in this morning. A bit of a shock on my sleep deprived brain, but I like it much better than the default. I wonder what else I missed?

Do you mean on the bass? If so, I've played some traditional fiddle tunes (some probably Irish in origin) on the bass (pizzacato not arco) as an exercise (and because its fun). Since the...

Looks like only the second volume is now available and the copyright and page proofs are for sale at $50K. Probably won't be back in print unless someone buys the rights.
