Ken currently has an expose thread going about the cheesy, illegal, and unscrupulous things that a few luthiers have done. Its good information to have out there, to be sure.

Does anybody have positive, successful, major rebuild stories about their basses to share? With either a modest bass (like mine) or some of the less modest instruments that many of you have?
I think this would be a good topic for a new Thread in the Luthier section.

Not all work is bad. Most is usually good. It's the bad that people often don't notice until it's too late. A Thread on the positive with more common basses would be a welcome addition for sure.
