Pics, as promised...
 

I have some 'before' pics I'd like to share, but they are huge. What do you recommend for downsizing them to post?
Thanks!

Welcome
 
Beautiful bass

Outstanding, she appears to have aged quite gracefully!  
I use Photoshop for image sizing, but I'm sure others can suggest cheaper alternatives. Or if you wish, you can email them to me (my email is in my profile) and I will resize them for you.

Niiiice. I'm not the biggest fan of zebrawood, but I'd be seen playing that one anytime.
At work, for photo processing, I use a shareware program that I think is called IRMView, but I'll double-check that for you Tuesday. It's good for a no-fee editing program.

Great bass!!!
 
For photo editing I use IrfanView.

I really like your new Bass !                      Congratulations  !

What a nice finely aged bass!  Continue to Play it Healthy!

Thanks, all, as I said in my introduction, I am the original owner, having played it as my main axe for 30 yrs. this May.
I'll look for Irfanview, I think it's on this machine somewhere.

Then you have been a lucky man for 30 years  !

Hello Lenny!  Welcome aboard.  
 
That is not a short scale is it?  It looks longer
