I'm happy because I'm warming up, after having to wash the frost off my car's windows.
This could be described as a 'little happy'.

Bass I got to work on!
I am happy because I had this bass in the shop last Thursday. The fingerboard extension is now the proper color to match the other fingerboard and the whole board is dressed. Plays like buttah. Now on to the next project!

Brian,
Shouldn't your post have started with, "I'm happy because..."

OK Richie and the gang. The Fonz is maybe looking at a happy day Saturday. Cousin Chucky and I are going to the Guitar Show in Columbia, South Carolina. It's usually a fun day including, but not limited to, some of the best bar-b-cue anywhere, at a place known as Maurice's Piggy Park. An old curb service (although no longer available) type place with Confederate flags lining the exterior of the building. Maybe a SC State flag, a favorite of my friend Richard, thrown in for good measure. Back to you Richie, Potsie and Ralph.

Ken,
I think it is around 42-42.5". I should have measured it, but spaced out and didn't think about it. I know it has new neck. (relatively) It was worked on by Bob's Bass Violin Shop in Greensboro, NC when Eliot purchased it. It is a very nice bass, and one that I sit with often in the Greenville Symphony. We have some good wood in that section. It has a really nice sound. Not the most powerful Prescott I have ever played, but very even and I think it is still coming back from all of the interior work that was done to it in the restoration. It was truly a privledge to work on a bass of this magnitude. BG

Oh Richard... I almost forgot... I am happy because I found the link to some more shots of the Prescott. http://www.bassviolinshop.com/testimonials.html
Enjoy, BG

I was privileged to have owned for a short time a Prescott from what we believe to be his early period. It was a 4/4 gamba with the upper bouts reduced as well as the c-bouts but the corners were not touched, just opened up a little deeper for bowing perhaps. The F-wings were still attached and the arching the same as the day it was made. This bass had normal Italian style graduations and were original as we could see the scar shadow of the original bassbar in the top. Great Basses those Prescotts are if maintained.

This morning I'm reasonably happy. Do I have to always explain my positive feelings to you all?
