<DIV> HI Dave</DIV>
<DIV> I like your break down but the prices could be low
depending on travel time & also the cost of the bass strings. I don't se=
e
any mark up on your parts!!!!!!! A set of these strings from GC/ Sanderson,
Isaac, etc., cost at least $250 US. I mark mine up a bit. Not 100% like most=
regular businesses although I can't for the life of me figure out why we
don't.</DIV>
<DIV> Regards,</DIV>
<DIV> Dale Erwin</DIV>
