Hey Fellow TBer's
My wife and I are vacationing in Boson, New York and Washington for the next 2 weeks and i am wondering if anyone has some suggestions on good places to find some vintage gear, and great places to see some good music. I am specifically looking for a 70's Jazz bass but I really enjoy looking at gear of any kind.
thanks for you suggestions
Later
