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!!

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.
