It's true, I am to fixing basses what Ivan the Terrible probably was to kissing babies. The action on my bass, in thumb position, has been too high for far too long and it has been really making me sad. This morning I read and reread Ken's and Arnold's thoughts on setup on this site. I've had my bass at three luthiers trying to get the action right. Today, following Ken's and Arnold's advice, and having set up the living room with tools and a padded table, I slowly lowered my bridge. Success!!! I am honestly feeling so happy and looking forward to lots of practice! Thank you Ken and Arnold for sharing a bit of your expertise and making an old guy (though a bit younger than Ken) very happy.
Sincere thanks - when my bass is happy, I am happy.

I think that's the happiest thing you've posted, Richard. And that makes me happy.

Call me pedantic but...
I've just noticed that there's a section called "Luthier's Corner". The title should actually read "Luthiers' Corner" because, I assume, it is an area where more than one luthier is welcome. I'm sure that Ken will read this and fix the problem. I'm always happy* when grammar mistakes are fixed.
*Nathan will be happy too.

'Tis true, that made me happy.
On another happy note, I'm quite pleased with my new bass. It is kickin' ass all over my old bass. And, I'm getting a lot of compliments, both on the looks and the sound.
