Hi all. I just bought a used Lemur Travel Bass, a carved Bromberg model. It's a wonderful instrument, and I'm very happy with it. There is one thing though... It has Sloan tuners (the individual ones) which are awesome, sexy, highly functional, groovy... but heavy. This bass is very light, and...

Here's installment #5 in my Know Your Neck series. The notation for all lessons are available for free on my website.

Hey all. I've finally revamped my website after many years of neglect, and decided to put up some free lesson vids and pdfs. I have more in the can to edit, and more in the planning stage. Hope you'll check them out.

I figured I'd throw this question out to the hive... I'm sure it's been covered before, and yes... tell me to search the archives... etc.... I'm using a Pz-Pre to double on my gig, and while it has all the features I need, notably Phase Invert, HPF, Variable Notch, Impedance Switchable Inputs...

A rare, super clean Ripper Fretless in TTS. The pickups are the old style with the screws though the casing. The pickups are Dunlop Custom Shop replacements... they are built to the original spec, but still have the crapped out originals. The neck and fingerboard have been expertly dialed in by...

Here is a real beauty, a very clean 78 Antigua. The finish is in great shape, even the pickguard. It has a very old Dimarzio pickup which really suits the bass sonically. There is some beautiful figuring on the neck and headstock... comes with a period correct HSC. $2000 plus shipping within...

Here is a very cool D. Lakin Bob Glaub model. Okay... it's a P Bass, but I ordered it with a Jazz neck, so it's a hybrid. It plays flawlessly, and sounds just like you want a P bass to sound. It's currently strung with DR Legends, and comes with a gig bag. Rather than blather... here's a demo...

Selling off a few items that don't get used... Here is my awesome Honeyburst MJ4, the one I reviewed in Bass Player mag. I liked this bass so much, I kept it after the review and made a deal to demo basses for G&L. This is probably one of the first ones made. It came originally with a #12 neck...

Hey, hope you all check out my new Bass Player column, R&B Gold. The Roots of Rhythm and Blues (Lesson)

Selling my AER Amp Three combo. This is a mind-blowing little amp. It is not a cheap little toy combo, this is high-grade professional gear. Don't let the size fool you, this amp puts out a BIG sound, and the quality of that BIG sound is awesome. Rather than try to describe it here, check out my...

Selling my Acoustic Image Flex system which includes the powered cab and separate preamp, carrying case, cables, and adapters. Rather than tell you everything about it here, check out my demo, I cover everything you'd want to know. Here's a demo of the preamp... but I am only selling them...

This is a rare prize, one of the cleanest Antigua P basses I've seen. Usually the pickguard starts peeling, this one is darn good. It has an old DiMarzio model P in it, no... I don't have the original pickup, I bought it this way. I did try a more "period correct" pickup in it, but this bass...

This is one of the cleanest, and best playing Ripper fretless basses you will ever find! It's in great condition, super light, sounds amazing! The fingerboard was dressed to perfection by Brady Muckelroy, and the pickups are Duncan Custom Shop replacements. If you really need the old crapped out...

Selling off three ETS Transmission Bridges, very well engineered German hardware which can be read about here:Invalid Link Removed I have a Chrome 4-string, 19mm spacing that looks unused - Retails for 173 Euro = $215.... Take it for $125 plus shipping. I have a Satin Black with chrome saddles...

Hey, I found these bridges at a swap meet, and they look kind of cool. Pretty heavy, looks well machined, good adjustability, very tight.... Kind of Euro looking. The guy didn't know what brand they were, and I haven't seen them before. So... Submitted to the jury... Anyone recognize them?

Well, it was a toss up between selling off the STL 900 or a SMX 9.2, but ultimately the Streamliner is just not getting used enough to warrant keeping it. It's the same one I've used in countless video demos, currently NOT in the rack, but I do have the rack kit, and a 3-space Gator rack bag I'd...

Hey y'all. I've been spending time learning some new software (Logic X & Final Cut Pro X) so I put together a little fun mashup of all the P Basses I have laying around. First, here's the full mix version: As you can hear… in the mix, these basses sound pretty much the same. But listen to the...

About 8 months ago, I got it in my head that I wanted an L2500. I've only had one G&L my entire musical life, a Tribute L2000, and although it's long gone... I remembered certain qualities that I thought would be awesome to have in a 5 string. I remember when G&L first came around, I tried a...

Anyone have one of these laying around? I have one, and it's a favorite - but I'd really like to have a backup since they are discontinued.

Up for sale or possible trade: My Korean built Jerry Scheff in Shoreline Gold. Fans of this model know it's a cool bass with a unique voice of it's own. 2 lipstick pickups with a 3-band preamp, passive bypass mode... It's in very good condition with no major dings. I don't have the original...

I've been playing my new Blast Cult One4Five a lot lately, working with the Channel Blaster pickup/preamp setup. The preamp is very cool and uses filtration instead of a boost/cut type of eq. I wrote about it in the recent issue of BP, you can get more details there. I've been mainly using...

I've been itching for something new on my Juzek. I've run Obligatos for the last few years and have been very happy with them, but I'm moving away from the whole super low action, whiny, modern jazz tone. I hardly ever need that sound it seems, and I've been playing more on my gut-strung plywood...

Just got my hands on a Blast Cult 145. I'm reviewing it for BP, and will be shooting a video demo of it in a few weeks for BWTV... but I also purchased it for my own use. I played a honky tonk country gig with it this Sunday and have nothing but high praise for it! The setup is fairly typical...

I put a Velvet E & A on my gut bass a while back... they were Garbos I believe. They have a nice punchy fundamental, and I like the tension - but they have very pronounced overtones, particularly between open A and C. I thought they might break in, but so far they haven't. Has anyone else ever...

Just found out I'll be at Bass Player Live this year in LA. Anyone else planning to be there? I'm not performing or doing a clinic, just hanging and helping out where needed. I'm waiting to get the schedule of clinics and performances, and will gladly post them here as long as The Powers...

Here's an exceptional Sterling 5H in Olive Gold w/mhs. Weighs 9.5lbs, in excellent shape, just some PG swirlies. Comes with ohsc. $1250 + shipping. Best to email me directly at [email protected]

This one sadly must go. Built by Tom Clement, this bass is 34" scale with 17mm string spacing. The body is swamp ash wings with a large mahogany center block, topped off with Black Limba for the top. The neck is maple with a 16" radius bloodwood fingerboard. There are 24 frets with perfect...

I need to find a good method book to use with young adult beginners. I am not a classical musician, though my earliest training on DB was "legit". I believe it's important for a new student to get on the bow asap, even if they want to play jazz or country or whatever. The problem is... Simandl...

I'm uploading the ShuttleMax 9.2 demo right now... give it a few hours if you can to let the audio fully process. BassWhispererTV

I have a brand new set of Nordy Fat Stacks for a 6 string with 17mm spacing. Great pickups, but not the sound I want from that bass. $200 + Lemme know.

I've already searched the forum for info on this, so I'm asking the general population - anyone hear of, or have experience with Arcos Brasil carbon fiber bows? I spoke to a shop about carbon bows, asking about the Finale and Coda bows. I was told they are "crap" and that the Arcos Brasil...

First, I'll mention that my website is NON-commercial in that I don't directly sell anything there. No money comes into my hands from the website, so I hope the moderators in their omnipotence will not flag me as a spammer. I do want to mention that www.edfriedland.com has undergone a major...

What would you like to see in a Buyer's Guide for bass gear? What do you think is essential, and what is your wish list?

Hey folks, timing is everything. These two books, although finished months apart have hit the market the same week! *snip* Mod edit: removal of spam

Hi folks, just wanted to let you know about the long needed update at edfriedland.com . I've added many new sound samples, some new lessons, including a clip from my Slap Bass DVD, and a sneak preview of Building Rock Bass Lines. My equipment page has samples of all my basses, and more. Hope you...
