    Essex (SX) Bass Club - Part 15

    Received a new email from Rondo Music yesterday. They have a a few basses in stock, including a blue Jazz medium scale, a short scale fretless, a light yellow 4 string Jazz and a 6 string Jazz with natural finish. Perhaps a new SX NBD is in the future.

    What kind of music/playing is this? It's amazing...

    Essex (SX) Bass Club - Part 15

    For those who aren't on the Rondo Music email list--the note included in the 4th of July email from Kurt: WBW, Just a heads up, this will likely be the last time we get the SX Bass guitars shown below. The logistics costs (both importing and shipping to west coast locations) have gotten...

    Essex (SX) Bass Club - Part 15

    Quick question--Can someone tell me if the SX medium scale bass bodies are the same size as their short scale bass bodies? Specifically, the P bass bodies. This may have been addressed somewhere but I am unable to find the info in the thread. Thanks.

    Who is your stage presence hero?

    Gene Simmons! He's the reason I began playing bass. Jack Blades would be my #2 as far as stage presence goes.

    Staining a Fretless Bass Fingerboard

    I've been trying to read all the comments on refinishing fretless fingerboards, but have yet to see my question addressed. I have an old Yamaha RBX (cheap) fretless. Is is possible to use a wood stain, like Miniwax, and then spray polyurethane on the neck and get a playable surface? I'd like to...
