I just got a Guild Starfire II, and wanted to put flat wounds on it? Which will fit? It' s a short scale bass right? Thanks.

Thank you..great idea! Good Luck with the group! Should be fun!

Sign me up, please! I am a huge Donald "Duck" Dunn and James Jamerson, David Hood, Tommy Cogbill fan...any chance we can download our favorite bass lines? This book is fantastic!

You are lucky to have that 6 string...they are rare!

Yes, the basses are amazing...I worked with Toshio from the beginning and marketed them for years in the early 90's...He knew about those Tribute basses, but I think the deal was shady. He may have disapproved at a later time with the maker in Korea. I'm not sure. But I do know they were selling...

The Bossa co...had the cheaper basses made in Korea. They were part of the Bossa line.

The Mid range Bossa are made in Korea. I think with a few upgrades they are fantastic value.

Too many knobs!

They are made in the Philippines... Some really good wood but the rest crap. I think the owner is making them there for a different price point only..

Actually, there are many for sale here in Japan...the best one is the Brazilian rosewood with rosewood neck..the tuners, preamp, and pickups are JUNK...but when you replace them the sound is so unique.

I remember that bass because I gave it t him...we were trying to hook up with Eden at that time.
