    Rondo Music Basses

    My husband, Old Blues Guy, is a lefty and that's exactly why he originally turned to Rondo - the selection of lefty guitars. And when he was ready to get a bass, he went right there. Now he has an SX SPJ-62 and a Douglas WOB-825 :) Yes, we too have always found their customer service to be...

    Hollowbody Bass Club!

    I'm new to TalkBass. I'm playing a Douglas WVEB Violin Bass VS Fretless - it's semi-hollow, does that count? I used to have a Hofner copy many years ago, but it drifted away in the tides of time :(

    Rondo Music Basses

    I have a Douglas WVEB Violin Bass VS Fretless from Rondo, and I'm loving it. My husband has bought at least 3 guitars from there and his first bass. Then he got me my Douglas, and it's great. He's always been highly impressed with both the quality and the customer service of Rondo. The only...

    Hi from Connecticut

    Just signed up here the other day! My husband, Old Blues Guy, was already on here. I played upright and some electric bass a lotta years ago, and I just started playing electric again. Taking lessons once a week to get the skills back, and already loving it all over again. I'm playing a Douglas...
