BassBenj If you recall, would you mind sharing with TB what you paid for the tortoise pick guards you ordered for your SX Ursa 6? Many thanks!

Does anyone know anything about Brian Bromberg's Jazz Guitar style piccolo bass? Who made it...etc? It kind of looks like a Gibson L5. Is it made by Dean Gutars?

Run for Cover - Marcus Miller Okay I cannot resist, i also always play "panther" (marcus) and I dont know why, but i seem to always play "Give it to me Baby" (Rick James)
