I am quite happy now it sounds good. Like the idea of a big CBG. and it sounds well both plugged and unplugged.

At 10:36pm on October 12, 2009, Roosterman said…: Absolutely! I just had to buy one to try it at that silly price, and I was quite happy with it. Im not sure I can hear the difference between a 'good' and a 'bad' pup anyways - jus tweak the amp and its all good :o) Saves a heap of time on soldering too hehe

At 2:05pm on October 12, 2009, Tres Seaver said…: Tom, where are you in Fort Worth? My parents still live in the house I grew up in on the Southwest side.

At 2:03am on October 12, 2009, Diane in Chicago said…: Tom, most excellent upright bass! I am sure it sounds great as well. Makes me want to fire up the ol' woodburner set!

Its mostly wireframe like a CAD drawing and the neck is obviously one of my designs. I think you can get the neck off that First Act and just alter the neck route. Hey, if we collab, I have a router and really want to make this one myself. I would be interested in routing one out for ya. I'll send you my email so we don't have to thru CBN. -Wes

Also, searching 'cigar box' in the vintage section came up with 128 boxes: http://www.etsy.com/search_results.php?search_type=vintage&search_query=cigar+box&order=date_desc&ship_to=

And under supplies, the search yielded not only boxes, but closures and other hardware as well: http://www.etsy.com/search_results.php?search_type=supplies&search_query=cigar+box&order=date_desc&ship_to=

Love the pyrography...I can't do it to save my life.

At 4:33pm on September 8, 2009, Doug Thorsvik said…: Tom,

Thanks for the feedback on the woodburning. You're work looks pretty impressive to me! I feel like I'm just doodling with the iron compared to what most woodburners seem to be into. It's fun and allow me to add a distinctive touch to my work.

At 2:26am on August 27, 2009, JUJU said…: No worries Tom you made a fine job of that wood burning , i must try more of it myself i like the effect

At 2:24am on August 26, 2009, BT Cohosh said…: Thanks for the poke. You've done some beautiful woodburning. I wish I could get that kind of detail, but I'm pretty ham-fisted.

What's the exotic locale in the background of your ID pic? I've thought it would be cool to get a string going of people posting pics of playing in unusual/exotic places....

See you around.

I have started a CBN group entitled, "How to Play CBG" It is my hope and intention to encourage the "Wealth of Talent" here on the Nation to share their knowledge and skill to further the CBG movement. Please consider contributing an instructional "video" link to this group. If you are a viewer seeking instruction, please feel free to write. If you have any suggestions or know other players who you think may want to post instructional "video" links, please contact me. Thank you for your interest and support, Keni Lee
