    For Sale Godin A4 Fretless Natural w/bag

    Natural, fretless, Godin base with acousticore strings. Very good condition, with gig bag. Lightly used, as close to a string bass vibe as I have ever heard on a bass guitar. Yes, I do play upright, so I am sensitive to making sure that my instruments are as true to form as possible...

    SOLD Music Man 5-String "HH" Bass

    This Stingray is in almost showroom-condition.... I'm not aware of any dings or blemishes.... it's also by far the best sounding bass in my collection. The reason I'm selling ?... I've got "7" basses... not a lot by some standards.... but a lot for me.... and as a guy who's been focusing on...

    Double Bass Upton Bass Club

    Admittedly, the photo on the left with my two grandsons is my favorite... although some magazine guy caught me (on the right) playing at a local library. The bass is an Upton "Bohemian" with a carved top (upgrade). f;at back and "aged" tuning pegs. I love this thing !

    SOLD Fender American Standard Precision Bass with Rosewood Fingerboard... $675

    Complete with a set of "flats" this bass is in almost flawless condition... the exception being the small ding on the back of the headstock. It's complete with the OHSC.

    Are fivers a thing of the past?

    I have two 5's.... never use them because I'm locked into upright as well so I tend to think in those terms. HOWEVER... when reading charts (where the low "B" string has no practical tonal value)... being able to shift up on the low "B" to achieve a two octave minimal-shifting hand position...

    Double Bass Upton Bass Club

    I've had my Bohemian hybrid for 2 1/2 years now. Like many of you I just taught myself my way around it.... taking a "fast track" to playing with some other far-more-accomplished players & having great fun (and learning !) as I went along. Now I'm active in a trio, quintet, sextet, septet &...
