"Gary & Jack,"
"Just wanted to thank you and follow up on the wonderful work
done on my bass. It's taken a couple of weeks to get used to the change in feel,
sound, response, etc, but I'm very pleased and others have noticed the
difference. The overall sound is much more even, I can feel the bass vibrating
against me when the E string is played (a new sensation altogether), and the
sound is more resonant, and more present somehow. You did a beautiful job of
attaching the fingerboard--I'd always been able to feel the seam between Neck
and fingerboard, now it's smooth as glass."
"An additional selling point that you might consider for the solo
extension (fingerboard) is that it very comfortably fits the right hand profile
for jazz pizz, aside from the cool looks and extra notes."
"(The) Dominants are working out well, thanks for the suggestion.
I replaced the G with a lighter gauge Dominant, and have been happy with the
result. They have the sustain of the Spirocores with a warmer growl, and are
MUCH friendlier to the bow, without the stiffness, rolling, and dullness of
Obligatos. The bowed sound at this point seems fairly bright, not unpleasantly
so, but the attack is so much more smooth and consistent than the Spirocores
that I'm actually inspired to practice! It's great to have everything in the
right place as well!"
"So, many thanks and much success, I'll be happy to continue to
refer you to one and all. Happy Fall, John"
