Default Hi from British Columbia

Hi everybody!

Those of you who have dual citizenship probably know me from the other Forum - for those who don't:

I'm a guitar player/bluegrass singer/cabinetmaker turned repairman. I've always loved DB and used to (still do, I guess) play bass at jams whenever the opportunity arose.

I see a lot of bluegrass instruments - vintage Martin guitars, old Gibson mandolins and banjos, lots of Kays but I also get my share of Czech shop basses and older instruments as my reputation grows. I'm a believer in the concept of mode-matching and think that, in general, weight is the enemy of tone.

Seeya, Jake

Here's a welcome from the Tarheel State - North Carolina. Since you've been lurking some, you already know those that are on here because of mental illness, right? Well, they know who they are. But before we go any further, please tell me that you've indulged in that fine Southern treat - grits. If not, so sorry.
