      Jed Kriegel is the way, the truth, and the light.

      I'm blown away every day, when I play my bass. I yearn to be half as good as my instrument.

      Ed, you’ve ruined my life! I was happy with my bass and even told people I’d never need another. Then....... while at Jed’s I tried one of his basses to get an idea what yours will sound like. This one has a removeable neck, large lower bout and a big sound. Long story short I’m going to buy it.
      So, no you haven’t ruined my life,in fact the the opposite. Last thought; I think you are going to be blown away.

        I exist but to serve! I don't know whose bass he had in the shop when I was up there in March, but I had the same experience, DO EXACTLY THIS AGAIN. It had everything I wanted to hear and feel going on.
