My friend is putting together a showcase in NYC and needs bass (upright or electric) and drums. Performance date is July 10. Talking about at least two rehearsals plus a review at the venue the day of the show. Anybody free and in NYC? Let me know. Please contact me via facebook - Becca...

Here's a new voice - Jasmin Klinger, a soulful young musician I've had the pleasure to play with. On this song she wasn't happy with the sound of the bass on the recording so she borrowed my Pavel. After several attempts to get it right, she simply plugged the bass directly into the mixer...

And if I can mic it or run it through the PA?

Until I'm 100% confident on a song I simplify the bass line while singing, then in between verses/lines I go back to playing full out.

Hey, at least the very hot, young lady digs it, and recognizes her father's favorite band. Let's hear it for dad! Father knows best.

I just read through this whole thread, and the line I'm still chuckling over is "Ever wonder why you can only write Indie songs?"

Okay, boys, I have to put in my two cents... No, I guess I don't because I don't count. If I was the chick it would impress me, but I would definitely end up wanting to talk about gear. On the other hand, being a bassplayinggirl... I get the impression that men think it's hot, but they are...

I have a custom Pavel and from the minute I held it in my hands, it was like, well, like it was made for me. You won't be sorry.

The pickup covers are macassar ebony, like the fretboard and the knobs.

Here it is. Isn't she pretty? :) (And by the way, the tuners are perfectly straight, whoever it was who thought they weren't.)

I have a Pavel JazzPro Deluxe "Petite" (32"). It's gorgeous, plays like a dream, and got kick-ass tone (Reed James pickups). When I first got it I took it to jam sessions and let other bassists play it. I got comments like "smoothest neck I've ever held" "whoa, great tone" "it practically...

I agree. I hope everybody can play nice now - it's so much easier to be accepting or at least pleasant, than to attack each other. I've known James Reed since our earliest discussions about my pickups, and he's just like that - a brilliant engineer, but not so good with words. I got a look at...

Oh dear. And here I was responding to Delly. Well, I really do have Reed James pickups, and they really are terrific. Feel free to contact me directly if you have any questions.

Delly, when I first got my Pavel and started taking it to jam sessions, a dozen different bass players took it for a spin. I got comments like "I've never had a neck so easy to play", "amazing tone", "OMG, it's light as a feather" (Pavel made me what he calls a "petite" JazzPro - 32" neck...

I have Reed James pickups on my Pavel JazzPro Deluxe. Pavel built me a guitar that feels, well, like it was made for me. The thing practically plays itself! But unfortunately I assumed that meant I would never have the vintage P-bass sound I always wanted. But Pavel knew what I was looking...
