    Double Bass The Truth About John Coltrane

    I like a lot of his stuff, and get bored by a lot of his stuff. Beauty is in the ear of the beholder. Freak it....I like Syd Barrett's solo stuff when put in the context of the fact that most of it is sketches and not final product (and definitely not jazz), however, it had to be put to vinyl...

    Quilter BB800- Disappointment

    I've had my Quilter for many moons now. It's been powerful, transparent and reliable, with no baked in phony mids. It sounds very nice with the "Elf 2x8 Faital Cabinet" paired with the "Elf 10" Celestion." If I want less thump I pull the 10" and run another 2X8. The sound is rather nice, and...

    Help----My Spectorcore 5 StringFretless Saddle Pickup

    I love my Spectorcore Fretless, but the G string Piezo Died. Does anybody know of an easy fix for this that they have experience with. I am having trouble finding a tech willing to work on that, my guess being the unavailability of parts. Schaller used to make a 5 string Power Saddle Bridge, but...

    I miss those Sold Separatey SX Necks with the Double Skunk Stripe. Talk about an amazing buy for partscasters.

    Body by Glarry: Neck By Louisville Slugger.

    My White Partscaster, which is built upon a Squier J Bass body," is not much wider at all. Now my other Partscaster J Bass,'"Warmoth neck and body", has them noticeably further apart, but it was routed out to fit Alembic Soap Bars and a Bartolini Pre Amp. It all depends on your interpretation of...

    YAAAAS! But this one has been a super scorcher.

    Body by Glarry: Neck By Louisville Slugger.

    A beater is an "it'll do axe." It's not really a fantastic axe, but it is playable, and if it were suddenly lost stolen or damaged you wouldn' "FRET" too much about it because it was cheap and easily replaced. This is my Emergency, or squeeze in a quick hour of woodshedding bass. It will be...

    You are correct about the Kustom Krafts, etc., but when I bought my first Hagstrom you'd have thought I had died and gone to heaven--- at least that's the way I felt at the time.

    Body by Glarry: Neck By Louisville Slugger.

    The Glarry is the one in natural on the right, and for comparison on the left is one of my J Bass Partscasters. The neck on the partscaster is very good, though a tad beefy for most, measuring a full 3" + where the neck joins the body. The rear view is the dead giveaway as well. Notice the tight...

    Body by Glarry: Neck By Louisville Slugger.

    Okay, for $90 and the need for an absolute beater bass, I figured a Glarry 5 String J Bass was worth a shot. I've read the many love/hate relationships people have with these, but again; I was in need of a beater,:and at first glance I figured, "***? We've all played worse,:especially my fellow...
