    This One Goes Up to 11 (Colibri Bass Review)

    Apologies for the dated Spinal Tap reference! This is the second of my reviews on boutique basses that I've recently played. If you haven't taken the poll, please weigh in on "Boutique basses that lived up to your expectations": Boutique Bass Poll: Review: Rogers 5-string jazz bass (Ulyate...

    Review: Rogers 5-string jazz bass (Ulyate pickups)

    I finally got to play two bass brands I'd only heard of, but had never played: a Rogers 5-string, and a Colibri 4-string jazz bass. Both exceeded expectations, so I thought I'd share some thoughts on them here. I'll discuss the Rogers here; my thoughts on the Colibri are in a separate post...

    SOLD Sadowsky Metro Will Lee 4

    [SOLD!] Here's a gorgeous Metro Will Lee 4 for sale! It's a shame, but I just have to thin the herd this tax season.

    SOLD Ken Smith BMT 5 - Stunning Quilted Maple

    *SOLD* When I first got this bass, my girlfriend looked at it and said "Sweetness" -- referring to both the big "S" on the headstock and the caramel colored quilted maple body. I'm so sad to let this one go! But my small hands are just not built for a 5-string, and l must pay some bills. So my...

    Best Boutique Bass Shopping Experience?

    I wanted to put the question to Talkbass users: Where have you had the best experience while shopping for high-end basses? Feel free to mention your criteria: e.g. friendliness and welcoming attitude, openness to questions, no pushy hard-sells, selection of brands and models, etc. I had a great...

    Best Boutique Bass Shopping Experience (Southern California, San Diego)

    I've been on my own "Bass Quest" for a while, so I've seen a few dealers and retailers. I just wanted to put in a good word for Bass San Diego here, on the Talkbass forum! No, I'm not on their payroll, and I'm not getting any kickbacks or deals. I just wanted to give credit where credit is due...
