    CITES - What every bass player should know

    Bahahahaha! I am going to have A VERY long post about this CITES and Lacey Act, and possible solutions. Very tricky, very expensive and the end result will be much increased prices in the final product. There is, at this point in time, NO way around the issue, aside from filling out...

    Yamaha RBX 1000

    I've had my '90 Yamaha RBX1000 since the day it went on Guitar Center's wall. It is translucent violet(purple?), 29, nearly 30 years old. Active pick-ups in P/J styling, originals on mine are amazingly smooth, and the tonal control makes it one of the best sounding basses I've ever had. I've...

    Discontinued Basses- your faves

    I did have one of those in the mid-90s. Had water damage cracks along the back of the body...I must say...It still sounded fantastic...great enough to get on a recording.
