Warmoth doesn't seal or treat wenge necks in any way - they just sand them down.

But how can I get that deal online? I am in the Middle East...can't pop into any GC...

Bongo 4HH for $800??? If you guys know of any place that will do that online, I am sooooo getting one!

My standard solution to neck dive is to simply relocate strap button on the 'butt end' of the bass higher - works like a charm, doesn't add to the weight of the bass, doesn't cost anything and takes 5 mins to do.

OOPs....guess I just assumed that people would realize that this is for the American military.

We just landed a gig to play at the local (Kuwait) military base for their Christmas bash. We are talking 2,000 soldiers (18 to 22) and officers, majority of whom are 25-35. They will be able to dance or sit around, and we are told that it will be a good male/female ratio. I am sure some of...

I've been driving for a long time. My first 10 cars were all with manual transmission, not because of cost but because that's how I learned to drive, and I simply enjoyed shifting and getting it right. After that, traffic became a real hassle, so I switched to automatics. My current car (Audi...

Having tried all combinations, I like them partially lined..best of both worlds: 90's Rick Turner EL35 Custom Early 70s German Hohner
