I managed to get the bass playing yesterday. Around 7PM, the baby uttered its first sounds. I only played it for a few minutes, my SO played for a couple of hours. I really can't give an evaluation about the sound or playability. The last time I picked up a bass was in 1965. But I do know the low notes rattled everything in the room that wasn't nailed down. I still have to do the fret work and setup but for something slapped together to keep the natives happy, it's not bad. Now I can start focusing on packing up the house.
