    2013 Fender "Pawnshop" Bass VI

    So, about the production numbers on these "pawnshop" reissues. Do they only build a certain number of an instrument for a year? I assume that they have been doing this "pawnshop" thing for at least a couple of years. Based on similar example, how long will it be until these...

    2013 Fender "Pawnshop" Bass VI

    A few years back, I had an opportunity to play an original Fender Bass VI at Chicago Music Exchange. It was in great condition and I had more than a few minutes of fun playing it. They wanted $6,500 for it, but, with one exception at a guitar show, have never seen another of a re-issue...

    The Official 8-String (Octave Courses) Bass Club

    Half a lifetime ago, I saw this band play in HomeWood, IL at Off the Alley. I do not remember the band's name. I DO remember that the bass player had an eight string bass and it sounded bad-ass! Many years later, I decide to get the scratch together to get one made. I sold a fretless G&L...

    Ampeg Micro VR through an 810?

    I once saw Converge play with an Ampeg 8x10 and an ORANGE Tiny-Terror amp. It sounded brutal. Tube pre-amp into a solid-state 450W power amplifier. He carried it on stage with just one hand, bass in the other.
