I'm glad to hear everyone is happy with their purchases.
Maizie: personally the only time I've regretted an instrument purchase was when I settled for the cheaper option. I'm sure you've purchased the right instrument.
Anacrusis: I'm jealous - I really want a Kung knick bass, I think they sound gorgeous.....one day.....when I win the lottery wink.gif

I was making my purchase on that basis - stretch now and get the right one rather than have a cheap one now and still end up wanting the expensive one later. But yes, it's a glorious thing, both to look at and to play: it's now sitting smiling at me from the top of the bookcase, having had a little oil to drink. It's the first time I've oiled something with keywork, and I'm glad I remembered in time to slip some paper under the pads so that they wouldn't get any oil on them.....
