    Your Favorite PASSIVE Pickup Brand

    I recently had the pickups in my 74 Jazz Bass re-wound by Lindy Fralin and I am very happy. I had simply stopped playing the 74 J Bass as the sound quality in the pickups had dropped off. Apparently the late 60's and early 70's Fender pickups did not have good quality control. Linda...

    The credibility of Gene Simmons.

    Here is my two cents on Cliff, he knows his place in the band. The Young brothers tell him what they want and he lays it down, he is a team player. The producers who have done AC/DC albums have said Cliff would be a great session player. I think Cliff's work is essential listening for new...

    Saw RUSH last Night At MSG

    I saw them Friday night in Hershey PA for the first time since 1995ish. Great show. I really like Geddy's live sound on this tour. I think his rig is giving his J basses a Ron of life and full tonal range. Things were bright but also very heavy when called for. I really like the raw power...

    Are Fender Mexican Precision Basses are good basses for a player of 2 years?

    I think my MIN P Bass is the best P bass I have played. I approach each bass by how it feels and sounds even before I plug it in. The neck on this bass is one of the nicest necks I have played. Don't get hung up on where the bass is from as to me they are like women, once you fall in love it...

    The Praise and Worship Band Bassists Club Part 12

    You approach your role the same way that I do, less is sometimes more. I think as a group, bass players will often over look what our mission is: keep the grove going. Keep it up, you are in good company!

    Club Sadowsky!!!

    My Sadowsky Metro V4 with a maple neck and an aftermarket upgrade with a Badass Bridge arrived on Tuesday. I purchased this beast of a bass from a member of the TB family. This is my first Sadowsky and I love it. The bass is white, not my favorite color for a bass, but this is a great...

    Would you buy a bass that you have not seen or played yet?

    I just did and I couldn't be happier. I bought a Sadowsky Metro Vintage through TB and it is a killer bass. Sadowsky's have a reputation so I was confident I was buying a great bass plus the member selling the bass was great to deal with. I don't think I would buy blind unless I was very...
