Nando mentioned his Bass in the first post, an 1880s Boston School Pedigree, no secret there. He also mentioned he HAS a mechanical C extension already and want to know ho the bass will sound withOUT it for playing Jazz.
Ok? You with me so far?
Also in the conversation he mentioned the Scroll was cut, NOT the Ear. The upper Volute area that's under the Extension. On any fine bass you can either let it be, damage already done, fix it correctly by restoring and making the missing piece and match up the finish and fit a new properly installed extension 'around' the scroll or just leave it off and use as a normal 4-string bass. Those are the only options I see.
So.. First off you tell him to get a C and not a B Extension.. WHAT? .. You didn't comprehend what he wrote!
Also, he mentioned that he plays Jazz and wants advice for the best his bass would sound for that BUT, you mention in the end you don't Play jazz and can't answer him. So.. Why did you go off and change the subject about B extensions? Makes no sense.
Next, on his Pedigree Bass you offer Englehardt paste on Ears. Would you do that on on a bass like that if it was yours?
So, if YOU had read what was posted on the Bass NONE of my comments would have been directed at you like that or even posted at all. I was merely trying to set things straight... Then, I will hunt you down..
Why you joined Ken's Corner; I like the atmosphere of Ken's forum-it's respectful, encouraging, and always a learning experience-hardly ever see anyone wasting other's precious time. It is more in line with the spirit I have for the double bass.Well, I hope at least it has been a learning experience.
Always in fun though and with a smile. You gotta smile.. it's part of life..
