  Thank you for your kind offer John. I was able to obtain a skeleton key from the hardware store for fairly cheap. Just gotta do some work on it to make it look more like the way I want it to.

  Hi! I set up a group for CBG players in and around the Twin Cities. It'll be a great way to network with local players, start up jam groups, teach, learn, and play. Join if you're interested!

  Hi, thanks for the vid comment : -)...yeah I was amazed how much you could see the vibrations on that low string!!
  The slide probably only took an hr or two to make (not too sure as I didn't do it all at once)...that's if you don't count all the time soaking and boiling to get rid of the smell!!...next time I'd get one from a butcher's rather than a pet shop (it was filled with some horrible smelling gunk that they put in for dogs : -/ )

  Thanks for the feedback on the woodburning. It's fun and not too hard to do. I stick to simple patterns to get the effects you see. I got my woodburning iron at Ben Franklin's for about $15, so it doesn't cost much to start. Interestingly my first bass was a weedwacker bass! They are funky for sure.

  Welcome aboard, John! You will find lots of helpful folks and information here on all things CBG (CBU, CBB, etc.) Feel free to poke around, ask questions, and post your stuff (photos, recordings, videos, etc. -- I see you are ahead of me here: nice bass!).
  
  Most of all, have fun!
  
  Tres.
