    For Sale FENDER TV 10 BASS AMP and MISC MUSIC GEAR

    Just bought this for use in a acoustic duo-me on bass. Was going for the retro look/sound and just when we were ready to gig the dude up and quit as he said it was too much stress!

Also, if you get a chance to grab a semi-hollow short...

    How is the tone? Is it more akin to an electric bass or a standup? Do you have any sound files?

    Steve Harris extremely sloppy in these isolated live tracks

    His playing always struck me as incredibly sloppy. Never could understand the fanboy adulation with his playing. He may be rich, and he may be famous, but that don't always equal talent, folks.
