(Not sure which category to put this in because it doesn't quite fit any) For those if you who know me here, the big riverhead phantom bass botched job by the "luthier" Johnny Lee Long, well that was for an 80s pop cover band for which I direct and arrange. I got rid of that thing long ago...

Many of us have a love hate relationship with the L-series G&Ls. Monstrous, snarling, a sound unto themselves, but also unwieldy, spiky, tons of transient information, sometimes poor articulation in the low end. The reason for this is, the MFD pickups are a novel design in that they are both...

I have been meaning to post this review for a while, but since the issues I've had working with this repair shop are so vast and numerous, I haven't gotten the time to sit down until now. A little backstory. I bought an old Riverhead Phantom Bass from a local pawn and needed a total...

Hey everyone. I've posted here a few times after having acquired an old Riverhead Phantom Bass. The purpose of this acquisition is for an 80s cover band that will be starting up. I was lucky enough to get the bass for only $150, down from a $500 asking price at the pawn shop. The reason for...

I ordered an American Professional P bass neck. Maybe it's just me, but it seems like these are factory seconds that are sold as replacement necks. Took forever to find a decent cut of rosewood. Anyway, I noticed that this might have the darkest, wackiest grain pattern on the maple. Half the...

Greetings, everyone! I just got my first big boy bass. It's a Rickenbacker 4003. Chicago Music Exchange had like 5 units of this AMAZING color. I wanted a 4003 for years, but they never had a color for me. I'm partial to very candy colored non-metallic solids. I feel I am underserved in this...
