I’ve been on the hunt for an SB-1000 (preferably the padauk red or oak finish). I just missed out on one that was on reverb a few weeks back. Anyone have any leads on places besides reverb and the talkbass classifieds I should check out? I’m guessing the answer is I just have to be patient and...

I'm fairly sure that was one of the limited run of Bunny Brunel signature basses Gibson made in the...80's? Might have been 90's. Edit - found an old picture of one -

Not sure if he recorded with it, but Oingo Boingo's first bass player Kerry Hatch (before John Avila replaced him) played a wunkay live on occasion. He mostly played a Yamaha BB and and Aria Pro II, but I remember noticing him playing the G&L in videos from one of the tours in 1982 or 83. They...

I played one of the Tony Butler signature p basses they made a few years ago. It had a nice maple neck and the hardware (bridge and tuners) was fine. The pickup was also pretty good as far as I could tell. Sounded like you’d want a p bass to sound. I would say they compete with the squier and...

I have a stock classic 50's p-bass in fiesta red. I put on some flatwounds and to my ears and hands, it sounds and plays as good or better than any american Fender P that I've ever touched. I considered switching the pickup, but after a few months gigging it, I just stuck with the stock one as...

Aram Bedrosian (here in Vermont).

It's probably Henry Strzelecki - he played for Chet Atkins and was his studio guy, and a member of the Nashville A-Team. Edit - found this (Scroll down a bit on the left side of the page you'll see the credits): Invalid Link Removed

I've been on a big power pop kick lately (Nick Lowe, Squeeze, Rockpile, Marshall Crenshaw, etc.) and one of the real revelations has been Any Trouble. I wasn't super familiar with them, but the bouncy fun basslines really caught my ear. Did some googling and saw videos of Phil Barnes playing...

Neko Case performed on KEXP recently and her bassist (Lex Price) is playing the new JMJ. Sounds great!

Bruce Thomas (Attractions), Andy Rourke (Smiths) - honorable mentions to Tony Butler (Big Country).

I think it's an old Hofner 182 bass: example - Vintage 1965 Hofner 182 Bass Guitar - Free Shipping to Europe (Framus Eko Harmony Kay Hoyer)

Check out the new Yamaha BB735a - they're a PJ config and have an active/passive switch.

Best club on TB - I'm in - my 4003w and Fender classic series 50's P

Advance in Burlington usually has some nice P-basses in stock. I haven't been in there for a couple of months, but I got my Classic 50's P (which I highly recommend) there a couple years back for a great price. Other than that, don't forget about Montreal, Long and McQuade and some other...
