The feature bass this week is a unique standup cutaway.<\/p>\n

Here is the story of the build:<\/p>\n

\n

This is an old plywood top bass that was restored by Scotty Jackson of Scotty Jackson Violins in Gainesville, FL. He called me one day and said that he had something he’d never seen in all his 35 years of work – a stand up bass with a cutaway. I couldn’t resist purchasing it for myself. I’ve included a photo from the day I picked it up. Scotty was a master craftsman who specialized in “fiddles”, as he called them, of all sizes. He’d say that this was a “bass fiddle”. Scotty was a good friend and fellow woodworker who lived just minutes from my house. A few months ago he began feeling strange and drove himself to the hospital where he soon learned that he had Acute Leukemia and would require chemotherapy as well as a bone marrow transplant. He breezed through chemo like a champ but lost his battle with cancer last week after receiving the bone marrow transplant. The world lost a great one last week and I have one less friend. Very thankful to have some of his instruments and memories. <\/p>\n

Byron Young is the owner of the bass.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
