    What bass do I need to add to be in a "dad" (or "granddad") band?

    Any 4 or 5 works. It’s more important how you play than what you use. Have enough amplification to be heard. H

    Hartke LH1000 Question

    G&L Club Part 7

    Light was bright for that photo, however it’s not very matte - the frost finish takes some of the brightness out of the metallic. Looks nice in normal light, not as frosty as some finishes would appear, but has good balance with the white pick guard. I like it, but then I am biased :) . H
