    The Few, the Proud, the Cowpokes. (official Fender Cowpoke club)

    I ended up taking her home. I got it for roughly $570usd and a fresh set of strings. You don't see these things in Australia very often. I played with a Japanese P bass and another Japanese variant but honestly neither of them sounded as nice as the cowpoke. The bite from the preamp was a real...

    G'day Mates!

    Hi all, I hail from Australia (could you have guessed?) and i've been playing bass in a trad/power(ish) metal band for about 8 years. Ive always been fairly slack with my theory, and never been much of a tech-head. But its time for that to change...better late than dead, right? I play a 2011...
