When you scroll down, and then you see "the" pictures for the first time, the body reacts like it would when seeing a picture of an Alembic with the peghead broken off. |

That looks like the type of upright Stanley using when I saw him with Hiromi here in Raleigh about a year ago. Keith |

Wayne; it's interesting how the neck attaches with one screw, and that the screw also adjusts the action. It's hard to imagine that it makes for a tight fit; my guess is that a lot of energy would be lost at the neck/body joint. However that may be a trade off worth considering for someone who wants an upright bass that travels easily. |
