They will tighten up the tension and get rid of that floppiness. Also, the tone is much more musical to me, and the whole thing just delivers the old-school thump. |

When I saw this video on YouTube for FrettedAmericana, I ended up with serious Newport B4B gas.

Anyone have a suggestion for gig bags? Specifically for short scale instruments. The regular sized bags do work, but there's tons of extra floppy room by the headstock... just wondering if there's a "short" gig bag. Guitar bags seem just a little too short. All thoughts welcome.... |

Replaced the bridge (Shaller 3d-4) and the electronics (a varitone circuit). Pickups are next, probably DiMarzio DP126 set. |

You can hear it on my MySpace. | Holy...
That five-year-old picture of a bass stopped me in my tracks. Wow.
Oh man, just wow.
