Ibanez hard case

He is on the cover of the latest BP magazine. Bump for a cool fretless.

I was just gonna say that! I was reading the article and looking at the pics and thought, "It would be cool to have that bass."

I wish.

Great offering, David. Let me ask you a question. How would you characterize that pickup placement? It seems like something between a sweet-spot placement and a 60's Jazz placement. I am thinking this gives it a somewhat rounder tone...

Cheers.

Hi,

How old are the strings on the bass and what type of strings are they?

Thanks!

Hi
Hard to characterize, but I'd say that's probably a fair assessment.
