With drummers it's not what they play It's what they don't play. In other words don't do a drum solo in every song.

First bass amp was VOX WESTMINSTER. It had a single 18 ". It had a built in G tone to tune with.

American Deluxe Fender Jazz and G&L both made in Calif.

I wear mine on a belly band type strap. My shoulder was hurting so bad I almost had to quit playing. I play a G&L ASAT semi hollow body w/f hole. It's not as light ad I would like but strap takes weight off shoulder and also supports my back. I've had two back surgeries.

G&L / CADILLAC.

Been playing TRADITIONAL country for 30 plus years. We do alot of Ray Price and other standards. Favorite ABELENE BY GEORGE HAMILTON IV.

I have a G&L ASAT FRETLESS I ordered it with a #6 which is vintage Jazz. It's 1 1/2 wide slim and fast. Ebony with ghost lines.
