    Beware of kalium music

    Now that is a travesty. I feel for the poor guys who opted for those terrible Kalium basses instead of going to a legit luthier for custom work....

    Beware of kalium music

    That's what sucks about issues like these - it negatively impacts the reputation of an already niche market. And there are luthiers with hundreds...

    Progressive tension 5 string sets?
