As I've been traveling a lot for work, I've been taking my U-Bass with me, but it's limited neck access has its limitations in fun, as well. I wandered into That Place That Shall Remain Nameless for no real good reason except to kill some time. I saw an Ibanez Mikro bass on sale for $169. Sat...

As Hospital Week approached the hospital where I work, the CEO contacted another worker, an experienced guitar player in the distant past, with the idea of getting him to put a band together for a Talent Show, as part of a big celebration- Luau, big tent, lots of branded swag, etc. All good...

Nice job with the vocals and laying down some Dingwall goodness at the same time- impressive first time out!

Well, that didn't take long. She's on her way from the cornfields of Iowa to the bright lights of the Big Apple! SOLD!!

Yep, it does.

As I might be moving soon (again), it's time to thin the herd. Offered for sale is this early 80's Roadstar body with a Squier VM fretless JB neck. It has had a thread here previously- Fretless On The Cheap . You can read all the gory details there, but as a reminder, it has (in addition to the...

That is one Magnificent Mullet!!
