They were all caracatures of hillbillies. Some of them cleaned up real nice.

I love that bass but no one is willing to give one up for sale. You're lucky to have one. They're beautiful.

It's QWERTY

Hey Matt, do you still have this H3? It still says for sale. If so, is it still in excellent shape? Thanks, Marc

The great thing is.....it's one of a kind

National - 30" (~1970)

Out of the thirteen I have, 1 is a 1970 National from my Father, 1 is a Fender P I bought at the store. The other 11 we're bought online including a Hofner, Supro, Gibson, Jack Casady Epiphone, or, what my wife purchased for me. I only had a problem with a cheaper Dean that didn't have smooth...

I purchased a Supro a couple of years ago and it's the easiest bass to play out of all I own. Somehow I caught a sale one day on an online site and got it for 20% less than retail. I didn't ask questions, I just bought it.

I think 365 literally means it's going to take 365 days to get your return processed. I've found out, for the first and last time, that they don't respond to emails or answer the phone. They just string you out as long as they can on returns until they must do something. The acoustic bass I...

I can answer the question as to why I would buy a bass guitar kit (which I did). It's because I want to understand the components of the bass, don't want to "experiment" with my Father's 40 year old 4 string electric bass, and was able to buy a 5 string bass kit so now I will have a 5 string to...

I play my Father's National bass that he purchased in the early 70's. I know the timeline because he was playing a stand-up and was tired of hauling it around to gigs so he replaced it with the National. This particular model is just the run-of-the-mill bass. There is nothing special about it...
