FYI - In case anyone is interested in one of these Nash Basses, I just saw one for sale used at Guitar Center in Fairfax VA. I played it for a half hour and it plays wonderfully and is in perfect (light relic’d) condition. I would get it myself except for I just got a brand-new Nash PB 63 about...

I didn’t go over it with a magnifying glass but it felt good, seemed solid, neck was comfortable and smooth. Pickups sounded good. Not my thing color wise but definitely felt as good as some of the Squires I had just been playing moments before.

I saw one at GC in Northern Virginia this Saturday. Swung in to get a few headstock tuners but always look to see what guitars and basses I can noodle on. It was sitting there on a stand already plugged into a Markbass rig. I picked it up and played around on it for a few minutes and it seemed...

I’ve been trying to ID this bass so I thought I would throw some pics out here in case anyone has a guess or any ideas. These are the best photos I could get at a live show recently. I can never see or make out the headstock clearly so I cannot tell if it is a Fender with the name partially...

I almost put Joe Lally on my list of DMV bassists I admire / influenced me but I didn't want to drag on. I am aware that Mark Sandman / Morphine are a glaring blind-spot in my musical vocabulary. I've been aware of them and heard a little but have never gone down that rabbit hole for myself...

You’re right about DMV. Not sure how well known the acronym is outside of the region. I’ve lived here most of my life and I don’t recall it even being a thing until a few decades ago. I was never into Jazz basses but I got my Blue Burst Jazz late last year and it really is a nice player and...

Excellent. As I’m always curious about other folks influences here are the players who have been important to me. Bruce Foxton - The Jam (my all time Bass hero) Paul Simonon - The Clash (pure attitude and style) Paul McCartney (no explanation needed) Colin Moulding - XTC (always in awe of...

Still have my first ever bass after 36 years. Rickenbacker 4003 Danelectro Silver Sparkle Beatles love with my Hofner Ignition Fender Blue Burst Jazz Current favorite JMJ Road Worn Mustang

Fairfax VA, Been playing self taught since college but finally decided to get some lessons and learn a few new tricks after 30 plus years, (and forgive me but taking 6 string guitar lessons too). What’s everyone rocking with?

Thanks for the response. Do you know (or anyone else know) if the Cab 47 and the D400 work with American style plugs and outlets since they are not meant for the U. S. Market? Do they require any modifications?

I was thinking of getting the combination of the Phil Jones BP - 200 Head and Cab-27 cabinet. I’m looking to for a bit more power and improved sound from my little practice amps. I currently have the Fender Rumble Studio 40 and an Acoustic B-25C. I’m not looking for anything too big for large...

The more famous places are 9:30 club and "The Anthem" which are top tier, well run and great for live acts. "The Hamilton Live", Black Cat, Union Stage, Lincoln Theatre. Just depends on what you like. Lot's of other great music in DC besides rock if you are interested. Blue's Alley for instance...

Could it have been Robert Levon Been of "Black Rebel Motorcycle Club"? Palldia showed a reunion concert of "The Call" in which he filled in playing bass and singing for his late father Michael Been who had been a member of the latter band.
