'Been making parts for some new builds. I make plenty of solid & traditional style tailpieces, but I have more fun when I make the laminate ones with endless options and wood combinations for structure, tone, and look. Tailpieces are accessible. You're not building a whole new neck or a...

Has anyone gigged with these for a double bass? Their weight is incredibly low- just over 10 lbs for a 1 x 10 or 29 lbs for a 4 x 10 cab. https://www.grbass.com/products/

A great old regular customer who owns a pile of old Epiphone basses, one that had a neck with a Lot of old repairs, had been eying my new old stock factory original Epi neck hanging on the wall for a while and decided to go for it. "No problem, that old neck is barely hanging on and may come...

I watched this video of a backpacker who uses helium balloons to take the weight of his pack while hiking and wondered if anyone had tried it with their bass on a gig. There are a couple of local places that I play where there is a very low ceiling and a 2 foot false stage. I'll often extend out...

I've been gigging with a Vic's model B consistently this year and it has been my favorite pickup. 'Sounds great, no preamp needed with my AI head, and at $50, it is fantastic and simple. I broke one recently- 'cracked the piezo wafers from my own gorilla finesse. I chatted it up with him and he...

Voodoo labs "Pedal Power 2 plus" power supply, made in USA, with 7 cables and power cord. Works great; I upgraded to a larger unit. $90.

Here is another option that does not get much attention around here, an Ameka pickup, made in France. They are a bridge wing mount. I've had a few pass through the shop. What's it sound like? Honestly...similar to all of the rest: like me playing an old amplified bass. Lots of folks seem...

For sale /trade Good condition GK NEO 210 cab, 8 ohm, 400 watts. This is the slant back model, giving you a lot of projection options. Works great; I used it on a gig last night. Thinning the herd a bit to fund some other items. Possible trades for a small to medium sized pedalboard and power...

Is there an ideal setup that I can use for late nigh practicing whereby I can run out of my pedalboard, bluetooth or wireless to my phone, and then use a modeling amp to my earbuds so I can rock out at 3 am and not wake up the entire house? I've seen a bunch of expensive separate headphone...

I picked these up today: An ancient old set of what appear to be hand forged tuning machines made from a hefty amount of steel. Any ideas of their origin? I wish I could have seen the bass they originally were made for. They still work pretty smooth. I'm pretty sure someone has spent decades...

I have a couple of interesting new projects that I think folks around here would like to see. One is a completely disassembled 1937 Kay and the other is building an American Standard from parts. Since I'm still buzzing from the SPGBMA Great American Bass Showcase, I'll start with the American...

This Friday at the SPGMA show in Nashville we'll be having a nice nerdfest gathering of 20th century American made basses, with a particular emphasis on vintage American Standard and ALCOA basses. There should be some big name bluegrass hipsters (ha!), a lot of instruments, and a bunch of...

"Hey James- I think my soundpost moved a little bit...." Well I found it & this one is a first for me. Tucked right in behind the tailblock; can't make this $#!t up......

I know the company is no longer, but there are a LOT of Acoustic Image owners still in the trenches. I've had a few Acoustic Image Focus & Clarus heads, but never had much luck with the lightweight padded cases they come with; far too polite for my needs. You can see where the aluminum corners...

A fallen soldier from brewery gigs this weekend. Carbon fiber bows are almost indestructible; the ebony frog, not so much. 'Glad I didn't bring my antique pernambuco bow! A $6 bottle of fancy CA glue and it is back on the job, but playing the entire second set bowless made me really appreciate...

I've been writing the charts for several arrangements this month for tunes that my band plays. There are a few with a form of AAAB. I'll use the very basic David Grisman Quintet's EMD as an example- simplified to (E- C7) x3 and then (A7 C7 B7). 16 *16 is similar and I believe A Night in Tunisia...
