    "Real rock" bassists to listen to. Looking for recommendations

    If you’re into David Hood, you have to check out Duck Dunn and Tommy Cogbill. Also, look into Andy Fraser, Tim Bogert and Berry Oakley.

    What is "The Vintage P Bass Sound"?

    Thanks for mentioning my main man, Cogbill. He doesn't get a lot of love.

    Jazz Neck on P Bass body

    Thanks for the input. My P-Bass is 1 1/2" wide at the nut. But it seems to me, besides the width of the neck, that the back of some necks feels larger (fatter) than others. I get my hands around a flatter neck much better. Is that measurement also involved in the A,B,C etc. nomenclature?

    Jazz Neck on P Bass body

    I have smallish hands and am considering buying a Road Worn 60's Jazz Bass neck and having it put onto the body of my early 80's P Bass. Is this possible without ruining the bass? The one I'm thinking of getting is described as a Type C neck. I found a great sized (thin) neck on a new Squier...

    Official Ampeg Portaflex Club

    Sorry - didn't see a post new thread box. New to board. Will try to post a picture of my amp which I've had for years, a Ampeg Portaflex SB12 Fliptop. Can someone tell me how I can find out how old it is? Thanks.
