Pretty self explanatory. A popup shows periodically in the lower right of the post window while typing saying "draft saved" - well , I just had a power outage and a post reverted to about 5% of what I'd typed - but I can't find the draft anywhere. Anyone?

These were on an Upton "Hawkes" I recently got. I know pretty much zip about upright strings - I played quite a bit years ago but strings were pretty much "whatever is on it" or "sell me some light gage". These seemed pretty stiff to me, but I can only compare them to some weedwackers I bought...

I played some upright in a bluegrass band back in the late 70's/early 80's and for about 7 years (starting 15 years ago) in a country rock/country swing band (a shared Englehardt the first time; a band-owned Kay S-9 Swingmaster the second). On the Englehardt I used whatever was on it when we...

Leading a double-life (also living in the Tele B-bender world) I've always been baffled by some bass equipment values (especially amps) compared to 6-string items. It seems like first-iteration, revolutionary (for the time) bass amps are reallly undervaued and great buys, while similar 6-string...

Need some I.D. help here...only because it's always driven me a bit nuts. I've had this '66 P Bass for about 10 years, and it is THE most perfect bass I've played. Sold my Sadowsky as the '66 just beat it in every category except "pretty" - not an essential one. It's vanilla except for the...
