Here is a bit of my story that will help explain some of my choices as to how I finished this HBB-5.
About 41/2 years back I ran into some serious health issues and was told by my cardiologist that I would most likely not live more that another 4 years. Since then I am unable to work and found myself sitting around just bored out of my mind. Depression set in and I decided I needed something to occupy my time and mind. I had lost about everything I ever had and realized that once I’m gone, I really had nothing to pass on to my daughter that really would be a true reminder to her and to the grandkids that I may never know, as to who I was. I love guitars and have about a dozen or so in my collection. I play around with the Bass a bit, but am a much better collector than musician. I decided to build this Bass simply to pass down once I’m no longer here.
I served on a volunteer ambulance for 23 yeas as well as worked for 2 fire departments for 20+ years each and even though I can no longer do the job, it will always be a huge part of who I am (reason for the pic of me on the back). Also, I have always had a love for gambling, especially Texas Hold ‘me. In one pic it shows a little ladybug in the finish (my daughters nickname since birth).
It’s far from perfect and it was over a year to finally get it done, but I know it will one day mean the world to my Ladybug, and hopefully a bunch more family that I may not be able to meet here on earth, but will be watching from above (if that’s how that works, anyways)
Thanks for lookn
Not sure the photos are uploading right, so I hope they show up!
