    My new TH700 and SL112

    Had to run an errand, and while I was out, the FedEx guy showed up. My new TH700 and SL112 required a signature, which I wasn’t there to give. So, no NAD today.

    Elrick NJS 5?

    Hi, Does anybody out there play an Elrick NJS 5? I see a few online in the low $3K range…..What are your thoughts? How does it compare to a custom shop J Bass in terms of fit, finish, comfort, tone? Does it record well? Does the 35 inch scale change the tone? Does it sound like a J Bass, or...
