Hola Dean,
 
I had never seen pix of your bass before, but that continuous top is something I will remember for my future custom. Congrats. I just finished an excellent novel, part of which takes place in Mandan, in the winter. Peace Like a River by Leif Enger. One of the best reading experiences I've ever had. You know, for when your fingers get tired of playing :-)  Enjoy, James
