Hey Bruce Just wanted to wish you happy thoughts going into and coming out of your surgery. From a grateful scroll bass player. The bass community loves you!

How you are eq'ing the bass will make all the difference in rooms with challenging acoustics. If the sound is too muddy try cutting the bass knob a bit. Also FOH engineers sometimes are overzealous with the subs and there can be competing frequencies between kick drum, bass, tracks (if your band...

I am super intrigued by the upcoming series v and acoustic scroll bass projects. Can't wait!!

Very cool:)

I got a btb 1606 in poplar burl. It is one of my favorite basses to play. I strung it with d'addario chromes. My only gripe is that there is no passive tone control. Some of the newer Ibanez models have a passive tone control on the treble knob when you switch into passive mode which I think is...

I just went BEAD with Daddario chromes On my Fender Jaco fretless bass. It feels great to play the thicker strings and the tension is perfect for me. It's kind of what I miss when switching from upright to electric. Getting a deeper sound which is cool too. Scared to gig it, but very fun to...

I should also mention that the bass came with a heavy duty classy reunion blues gig bag which protects it very well. Ok enough posting. I'm gonna go play it some more!

Here is a picture of #10 in my studio.

Here is my review of #10: I played a gig Friday with my new Bruce Johnson Walnut Fretless Scroll Bass (#10) and I am thrilled beyond belief by it. It is a beautiful looking bass and the whole band was complimenting it before I even plugged in. After the first set I got lots of nods...

After trying Bruce's basses, I couldn't get the experience out of my head and I knew I needed to get one of these instruments. The bass spoke more deeply and authoritatively than any bass I'd ever played, and I feel that is a testament to Bruce's skill and artistry. I am anxiously awaiting #10...

I just wanted to reply here about an experience I had ordering a 5 string piccolo bass from Ted Fairbanks at Mystery Guitar in Santa Cruz. I was very disappointed with the whole experience. Ted took on the job although he was clearly busy studying for law school/moving his shop and delayed and...

Somebody needs to slowwwww those mononeon vids down so the rest of us can cop some licks!!!

Oh and I should also mention the slap sounds killer as well.

My review and opinion: I bought the BL tapewounds from bassstringsonline and was all worried about the guages being too big from you guys... Put them on my Am. Std. P bass without modifying the nut and they work fine. I own black nylon tapewounds in different guages and white nylon labellas. I...

You are entitled to your opinion. Very. Entitled.
