    It eventually got cleaned up, repainted, mag pup added and converted to a four string.  Still have it and play it.

    This one is great. The time frame, everything is in place

    You know, Eric,  I was Mister fretted for a long time.   And will continue to be.   But not long back, I could suddenly make a 3 string fretless  work.   They will never do some things as well as fretted., but they can do a lot.  And to me - a 1 to 3 string fretless is the most historically correct of the CBG family.

    Thanks Daniel and Maddog.   Naw, Maddog, the Ranger has a better heater.

    Thanks Ron and Randy.  It plays well.  It's out in the shop waiting for a conversion to a four string.
