Oh, man! I heard that she had been sick. She was a woman with class! She was also very generous with charities! Rest in peace, Dolly. There won’t be another one like you. Mike 😪

Hello, all. While this has nothing to do directly with bass, here’s a song in Portuguese that is so beautiful. I’ve liked it for years. Enjoy. Mike

That is one nice-looking instrument! Good luck with it. Mike :cool:

Ok, this is not on your list, and is at the other end of the spectrum, but have youe ever considered a BTB? Wide across the nut, but shallow neck front to back with wide string spacing. Mine is 20 years old with Bartolini pickups, very Fender-sounding. I think the current ones have...
