Kent Fender copy, neck like a tree limb. Replaced with Gibson EB3 in 1970.

A phantom power switch on my amp and an active preamp on my bass. No more batteries.

Black body, Blackpick guard, Blonde neck. All but the Hoffner. Does not matter what bass I bring to a gig. Everyone thinks it the same one. Don't have play the game of you should be using whatever.

great info. played it for one set at a gig last night. Had a little problem with the short scale neck. Sound was impressive. I typically play G&L 5 strings which are all active. Kind of enjoyed the sound of passive pickup. Been a long time since I played passive pick ups or a 4 string. Any...

Does anyone play these short scale basses. Been offered one in pretty good shape for $800. seems like a lot of money. Kind of thought the Japanese version should be less money. Yes it's a Mustang white body and who knows what the dark wood neck is. The question is is it worth $800. I play...

At 50 all I was playing was church gigs. was out one day with my bride and saw an irsh band playing. Knew the mandolin player and made a couple of comments that they need a bass player. Did not know that he had just left. Got a call a couple of weeks later from my friend. Said the band leader...

G&L M2500 got rid of the backup to the backup Sterling. Now got two of the 2500's great gig basses. If they get trashed or stolen it less than $500, Yet they play and sound like $2500+ G&Ls.
