Wouldn't waste my money on a foreign guitar rag with a section about bass. Remember when Guitar Player did the same thing. Sad to say Bass Player RIP.

The main thing that sucks is there is no archive of older articles or reviews I can find. And I'm not interested in a bass magazine full of what the Brits think about the bass world. Won't be renewing my subscription.

I would be offended if I showed up with my P-bass and they wanted me to play anything other than a P-bass except for my New Standard upright. And yes, as long as the P bass provided was playable, no problem. Of course it should have flat wound strings on it.
