Just wanted to say hello to the participants here, I am from Portage, Michigan in the USA, I own a small repair/restoration/custom shop, working on instruments of all varieties for a living. I am a former bass player(I only play at home with recordings anymore, no time for bands). I began playing Violin and Viola as a child, progressed to Cello where I became an accomplished player in both school, and symphonic settings, and was bitten by the Rock/hard rock bug when I first heard Rush in 1974, I finally, in 1977, hijacked my brothers 69 Fender Jazz and was hooked. I am well educated former electrical/design engineer for a major MPU developer, left after 5 years to persue my dream of building instruments, thus building a repair/mod/restoration clientele and have been at it since. thanks for having me.
best always,
JC
