The Banjo guy? No, never met him. All I have to offer at the moment is the Batchelder Bass but enjoy talking about it.
On another note, over at TB, they have this thread about a restored Prescott by Lou DiLeone. It is NOT in no way a Prescott and either is Jason's Bass that he says looks like Lou's.
Everything in a Violin made near Cremona is a Strad..
NOT..
Every old Bass from Milano is a Testore..
NOT..
Every 19th century Bass from New England is a Prescott..
NOT..
What is so hard about that. Even dealers can't get that straight. It's a shame when you look at it. There were many good Yankee Bass makers from the 19th century and we know that now. Why still is everything a Prescott?
