Not looking for one right now, maybe down the road a bit. By the way Ken I saw your electric bass #8 today owned by Gordy Johnson here in Minneapolis. I'm trying to get Gordy to post pictures of that electric and the uprights that he has. I think you would like to see some of the instruments he owns. Anyways, best from the midwest and thanks for the history as always. Adam Linz

#8, wow.. Got #13 here for a clean up. Same first batch of basses.
On Gary's bass, it doesn't rank all that high with the great English basses. Neatly made as a Bow maker would do but not nearly as good a bass as it looks. This is from what I have heard and also I have played many many GREAT English basses. I am sure anyone would love that bass but if you can remember, I am sure that Kennedy beat it hands down unless it was not in tip top shape.
