bassgrass.com and doublebasschat.com have lots of information on ply basses of all kinds, and both have a friendly vibe.

Personally, I dig what TB brings to the table

Do you not see these forums as friendly? I've seen lots of posts about Englehardt basses here. Are you looking for more of a fan club? - j

Lots of engle players here. Just ignore the occasional diatribe and jump in.

Truth is, you can't learn anything from someone that agrees with you!

There's a lot of passion here and rationalized defense of multi-thousand dollar purchases, all to be taken with a grain of salt. But it's the variety of opinions that make them worth reading, and those that don't play nice are easy enough to ignore (besides, nastiness digs its own grave).


Got one? Looking to buy? - j

I've got an old Kay, and have found that while folks here definitely have opinions about different kinds of basses, the breadth of knowledge and quality of advice are unsurpassed.

They have to be rationalized?
