    RIP BB Dickerson

    I may not be able to play all his lines as well as him but he always has me car dancing and singing along.

    RIP BB Dickerson

    My goodness...I'm way late on this. Great player, one of my all time favorite bands. The "Best of War" cd lives in my car and gets played often. Real often. R.I.P brah

    String suggestions for Epiphone Voila bass

    GHS Precision flats - medium scale. Smooth fudge. My 2 cents

    BB Dickerson: Original Bassist of War with the Lorider Band

    wow. great post. was listening to War's greatest hits this afternoon on a short road trip. Great ensemble playing.Funky as all getout. Damn shame that they were screwed out of using the name War, a worldwide brand that they built. It's a tough business. Thanks for sharing the clips.

    SX Project Jazz Hybrid Bass

    Thats a really pro looking job, i love it. I've been toying with the thought of modding an sx for a while now - you may have pushed me over the edge. How do you like the neck as compared to a fender jazz - did it need much work?

    Bass Amp that can cut through!

    this is great advice - in your price range look around for some used combo's - Peavey is usually a good value for the buck. A TVX with 2x10 and tweeter?
