I suppose there may be one or two people who are wondering why they don't see me on any of the horology boards anymore. After half my watch collection was stolen when living in Belgium and I ended up having to sell the rest, due to the economy - I just kind of lost interest in collecting...

Jaco Pastorius - he's the reason I picked up the bass.

I just sent you a PM regarding the purchase of the MTD Kingston Artist mrb1974

This is a little OT but, first I find this all very exciting since I just picked up the bass again about a year ago, after not touching it for 35 years. I agree with 99.999percent of this post but "Jaco didn't do anything that I can't do" is just not true. He changed the way people see the...

Hi, After some 30 odd, years and they were odd. I'm going back to the bass. As the title says, I have Godin Freeway 4 with active pickups and I'm looking for a very protective hardshell case for it. It doesn't look like Godin sells their own so I was wondering if anybody has any suggestions...

Hi, Back in the mid 70's I bought a Fender Precision Bass and it had the thumb guard on the top of the face of the guitar - so you could actually hang your thumb on it. I remember because my teacher mentioned that they finally moved it to a good spot. After 35 years away from the bass, I...
