    I think I’m done

    Sold my 1978 4001 Ric bass in 2001 and took up guitar exclusively for about 13 years. Around 2014, A friend, a bass player in a local bar band died unexpectedly of a heart attack, only 52 years old. His bandmates needed a bass player and I fell right back into it. My greatest regret is selling...

    Buy Me A Bass?!?

    Regarding the bass, I'm a big Alembic fan. I don't know how you can go wrong and they hold their value. This was 1/3 cost of $10,000 so buy 3 of them!

    Please Identify This Bass...

    They end up dead in the river. Thanks Sonny! You could have thrown them that bass that's as big as a boat and saved them, but nooooooo.

    How do you decide on string gauge?

    I went with the DR Hi-Beams 45-105 and absolutely love them. Had recently purchased a used Alembic bass off a TB brother from another mother and he wasn't sure what strings were on it.
