    Why all the Tal smack talk?

    +1 I played with a guitar player a few years ago who was as good as anyone I have ever heard. Talent and skill overflowed. However, he just was happy to play in a crappy little bar band. As he put it "being famous is just too much work." It seems Tal has done everything possible on her end to...

    SOLD FS Redeemer SC-2 Bass

    I was just showing this bass to my wife last night on the website and she thought it was really beautiful. So, it gets a bump with an endorsement from a lady as to its attractiveness. And best of luck!

    WHAT COLOR PICK GUARD ON A CAR BASS?

    What color is the fingerboard? I think that makes a huge difference on the choice. Personally I like W/B/W on these...

    Flea Basses on Musiciansfriend

    His BP comments were that these basses were to be completely gone over and set-up before they were shipped so you would not have to worry about rough frets, intonation issues, etc.

    Pulled The Trigger On A G&L SB-2 Tribute

    I dig my SB-2- it is the black metallic with black pickguard. I am probably going to change the pickguard out with one from http://pickguards.us/ but have not decided on which color yet- maybe the baltic amber or a tortoise shell one. Love the sound of it though and just switched strings to TI...

    The Boom in the Room

    Over the weekend I strung up my Trib SB-2 with some TI Jazz flats... wow... totally blown away at the difference. EXACTLY the sound I wanted to come out of my rig. The more I play them the better they sound and I just couldn't put the thing down. This bass continues to impress me with its power...

    Rosewood vs Maple

    While not exactly on topic- I saw a bit on Vic Firth drumsticks over the weekend where they actually have a machine that sorts the sticks based on their pitch- and those don't always come from the same piece of wood, as the density of grain and moisture content can vary from piece to piece. If...

    "Official" Genz Benz club ... get yer numbers here!

    Count me in! Neo-Pak 3.5 and GB210T XB and (somebody else's 15")- definitely a huge upgrade from my old PV TKO. Now the neighbors don't boom their car stereo late at night lest I need to "practice". Would like #777 if possible.

    Another G&L Convert

    I went out to buy a new Fender J and ended up with a Tribute SB-2. For less money I got a much better sound and more flexibility. This thing plays like it is already broken in! There are times I have to remind myself that it is not an active bass the sound is so strong. I had been toying with...
