    Why aren't medium scale basses (32") more popular?

    I got my first taste of 32" when I got my 2000 Alembic Mark King Sig. Ordered it new without ever trying one so it was an eye opener for me when I...

    Why do all basses seem to look so uninspired and the same (in a bad way)

    Spector in a non metal/rock setting?

    I also have an NS4CR (EMG PJ) that originally came with the Tone Pump pre which I found much too agressive. I dropped in an OBP-3 and I've been...

    I just bought a nice Vintage P Bass.

    If you are really concerned then I recommend this. It's forever protection for very little. The original owner of my '66 J got one when he bought...

    Have you ever tallied how many basses you have owned over the years?

    I got my first bass in 1967. Since then the grand total gone thru is about 75. After sifting thru some really nice basses that weren't for me I've...

    NEW MESA TT 800 AMP. OH. MY. GOD.

    Wow. The Jazz was killer, all I could expect. This is the best amp I've ever had. I haven't tried all the top brands, but I don't feel I have to...
