Reasons to go with Bass Boat Green

I have put off buying a delay for a few years, waiting for this one.

The other day I was made an offer I couldn't refuse 

This is why I was holding out for BBG

And something else that sparkles that I feel a strong desire to operate.

The Surly Krampus

Yup.

And it begins

Got the first component of my build tonight.

Left handed B-5 Bigsby

 

I dug right in to tearing it apart.

That string bar with the 6 pins is what I gotta replace.

I was really impressed, needle bearings made in oosa.

I was just expecting some brass bushings.

 On the right, original string bar with roll pins removed.  To be duplicated sans 2 pin holes.

If I am going to go to the trouble of making a new bar, midas well make it out of Ti.

Some people have this misconception that bass strings don't break. False.
Wish I had a spare $200+ to keep an extra set of bass strings around.

I will not be able to make it unfortunately,

Two camp sessions, 7 bass playing youngins to teach each session.
Been doing it for the last 6 years or so.
