Wow, I am going to look into those. Thanks!

I have a "thing" for short scale acoustic basses - not for gigging, just for around the house - and I bought a Fender Kingman v2 last summer. I like the neck very much (pretty much like a Mustang), but I hate the neck dive. I can compensate somewhat with clever strapping, but I REALLY want to...

Hey, potetuck, I realize it was 6 months ago, but regarding your having put Aquila Copper Flat Spirals on a Taylor GS mini-e bass... I have one of those, too. How well did that experiment work over a longer term? Would you recommend them, was the intonation acceptable, etc? Thank you.

I've seen a few posts about a special run of La Bella strings for the mini P bass as maybe or maybe not be still available, with dead links to a roadie URL, but La Bella does seem to have a 760FM-P set of Deep Talkin' flatwounds available, designed specifically for the mini P. They are thick...

I have the same problem! Hiss/crackle only from the 112 extension cabinet and not at all when only the main amp is turned on. I was thinking I might have a bad microphone cable. What did you find out?

When God Created the Coffee Break, from the album Love is Real, by Ulf Wakenius doing the music of EST; bassist was Lars Danielsson:

Is anyone else but me a fan of Dan Berglund of E.S.T.? Listen to Somewhere Else Before, loud:

I ordered it that way and very much like having it that way (and I believe you helped build it, Martin Keith, and it turned out very well!) And I am keeping it, having changed my mind about going short scale. And if I can ever afford a second quality instrument, it will be a Martin Keith Elfin.

Because bassists tend to argue the relative merits of 12” and 15” speakers, most people are very surprised at what comes out of the two 5-inch Piranha speakers. Superb sound! Very portable –easy to pack into the back seat of a car and easy to carry around, at only 28 lbs. It’s in mint condition...

I love this bass and don’t really want to sell it but every now and then I want to go back to playing a 30” scale instrument (more natural to me). [I’ve been talked into keeping it and adapting. I can’t delete the ad but I’ve edited it to provide information for those interested in an...

Sold. Thank you to those who expressed interest.

It IS exceptionally well made and I have thoroughly enjoyed many, many hours with it. But I took my wife with me to a conference in Berlin, and now I have to pay big on my credit card... I will still have my fine Veillette Paris and a couple cheap instruments.

It’s 4-string, 30-inch scale, fretted, with side dots, bone nut and saddle, Schaller tuners. The headstock veneer is Birdseye maple, front and back. The maple neck with rosewood fretboard feels like a fine, slim electric bass neck. Nut is 1 1/2". Last year, I had the frets dressed and the...

What a difficult dilemma you will face every day, deciding which of your very excellent Martin Keith basses to play : )
