    cheers, Mark.
    Thank God my trombone already has a case...

    I actually thought about modding the headstock to fit the case... But I finally have this thing looking, sounding and playing the way I want it to. I just can bring myself to cut the bills down to size so that they fit the wallet.

    Now if I had known that this bass was not going to fit in a case before I finished it that would be different..but not now.

    In general I try not to do dumb things. That does not keep dumb things from occurring to me. Bottom line is that I am not cutting either the bass or the case. In the words of the Irish philosopher, "I still haven't found what I'm looking for."
