The thread has a lot of basic (you could say, uh, "fundamental" :)) physics, electronics and acoustics information; that info doesn't change over decades. Products and their related technologies can change in that sort of time frame, but the relationships among physical and electrical elements...

Bob's mention of "hootenany" brought to my mind this jazzy-and-folks tune by my dear guitarist colleague Marvin Sewell; I played my Taylor AB-1 ABG on his album;

Yes, my 4-string Steinberger XL-2A is my go-to solid-body bass. The fact that it fits in overhead bins even on small airplanes takea away a ton of the stress of jazz-level touring--plus I like how it sounds.

@HalfManHalfBass wins this thread! :D

@abarson is correct; that's a Michael Kelly Rick Turner MKB4SB acoustic bass guitar, no longer in production. For a while Turner licensed his [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] design to the Michael Kelly company for them to market a Korean-built lower-cost model (it actually has the same D-Tar...
