Greetings from the Northwest (U.S.)

[Derrick Fernandez]

One of the main reasons I joined this forum was to learn as much as I can about the instrument and improve as a player (lessons are in the works). Upright is certainly a different animal and it has taken me some time to feel comfortable once again, though every second I play is enjoyable.

Also the area I live in seems to have a serious lack of Bass Luthier's. One of the most respected gentleman in town hates working on basses and won't even consider looking at mine. Very frustrating, might have to take a trip to Seattle to have my new acquisition (19c 5/8 flatback) gone over.

A special thank you all the contributers to this forum. It truly is a forum for enthusiasts!
