Decisions

[Melissa Washburn]

Thank you Ken for you input. Tomorrow when I get a chance I will send you some pictures. As for the string length how do I measure or where do I start and end the measurement on the strings? Thanks for pointing me to Jerry. There's a lot to think about and learn.

As for that Kay...it seems to have water damage. There's a crack down the middle of the back, cracks on either side of the saddle, a screw has been put in place through the base of the neck. It's very dried out and you can separate the layers in the f-holes. I spent money on strings, bridge, saddle and tailpiece cable but after all the parts arrive I feared that putting the new strings on might collapse the front. So it's been sitting. I believe that it could be a great sounding bass just from plucking the strings it came with (cat gut).

Pictures will follow tomorrow. Thank you again.
