I would require a double-necked bass for playing Tap's "Big Bottom", but otherwise, I'm going to use my Lakland for everything else since it does everything else just fine.

Great links. #1 was just what I was looking for! Very helpful. (I've been searching web up and down for such a demo for weeks... a little annoyed that I never came across that one. It's perfect.) #2 was probably more depressing than helpful, but helpful nonetheless. A Lakland really...

Hey, thanks. Not exactly in the area, but close enough. If I can sell my 4-94 to aquire the cash I need for the 55-02 purchase, that might be a perfect time to pick it up!

Hi. New here. Having been a one-bass man for all my playing days, I’ve never had to concern myself with switching instruments live. But the time has come to bring out the fretless for a few songs in the set and now I’m wondering what perils await me. To those out there who do ‘juggle...
