    Fender gets a new leash on life

    That's for those fancy breeds. My dog is a mutt. I'll wait for the Squier version. Did any one buy the Fender pen when it came out? It chould be due for a vintage reissue by now.

    Spotted a Fodera in a pawn shop today.

    Old Dog, New Tricks

    Welcome another old dog. I didn't take up bass till I was in my 50s. That was over 20 years ago. Enjoy the journey, you're off to a good start.

    Suggestions wanted to protect the back of my bass!

    I use one of these web belts from Patagonia. The buckle is plastic and there is no buckle, the fabric bulge helps protect the bass. I had a friend who got in the habit of wearing his belt buckle set over to the side at his hip. It looked a bit odd if anyone bothered to notice but he never...

    Musical Humor for us oldies.

    I have a friend who is a radio announcer. When he drives under a bridge, you can't hear him talk.
