    The Few, the Proud, the Cowpokes. (official Fender Cowpoke club)

    I own a Cowpoke Bass. I believe they were only made in 1994 and 1995, Mine is the Sunburst model and has the Kubicki electronics; the neck is thinner than a "P" neck but not as thin as a "J" neck.It's a great bass; lighter and a bit smaller than your typical "P" Bass. There are two on eBay...

    Do heavier, older tube amps still have a place on stage?

    Funny, I'm not an SVT fan but you see an awful lot of them on stage at concerts; IMHO if you have one and like it and are young enough to lug it around, then screw what people say.....I'm an old man so I'll stick to my Mark Bass Jeff Berlin.

    "This bass deserves to be played." Does it?

    I have bought Basses as investments and some with the thought of them becoming my main Bass. For instance, some years ago I was fortunate to have my college-age son employed at a chain music store. I was able to purchase within 6 months both a Rickenbacker Chris Squire and a Fender-era Phillip...

    What's driving the shortscale revival?

    Age, arthritis, Lumbar Fusion spinal surgery and the thought of something lighter and easier to play through a 4-hr gig,

    First amp you ever played through.

    My first amp was a brand new Ampeg, B-12. I wanted the B15 however the store was out of them and the salesman assured me the difference was minimal but found the amp lacking. I switched from the B12 to the then "state of the art Standell 2 x 12 combo; larger and much more powerful which I had...

    Would you buy a bass converted to fretted from fretless? Poll

    To me, it depends upon who does the work !!! Fortunately for most of my career, I've had Tommy Doyle (Les Paul's Guitar Tech / Luthier) to do my work but Tom's now retired to FL... show it to several local Guitar Tech / Luthier's for cost & quality of work...... It may not be worth the...

    NBD: The Anti-TB Bass, 1970 Gibson EB-0L

    I too have a 70 EBOL, however I took it many years ago to Luthier / guitar genius, Tom Doyle. Tom Tom Doyle was the personal Luthier to the late Les Paul and put back together most of the hacked up guitars Les used to modify his own LP guitars and others ……. Other Customer's include George...

    Have you ever co-owned a bass? (Purchase together)

    Sounds like too many things could go wrong...... to me it's not worth risking a friendship over.

    Could you build a Fender Cowpoke?

    I own and have done extensive research on the "Cowpoke Bass". I do not believe the preamps are the same as a Fender P Lyte. The Cowpoke has the same pre-amp package that was licensed from Phillip Kubicki (Fender actually made the Kubicki X-Factor bass from 1990 to 1993 in their custom shop.) I...

    The Few, the Proud, the Cowpokes. (official Fender Cowpoke club)
