The audio is bad in spots, but I will share it despite that.

This is a good video. This summer, when I was looking at a retirement bass, it came down to the Sadowsky MJ or the Dingwall JT5. When Fret Nation put the JT5 on sale, the choice was a no brainer for. I am still Sadowsky fan, but in the words of my minister, “you can have anything you want, but...

Sounds really good as he always does.

Except for a short scale travel bass, my bass shopping days are over, but I always get happy when I see a Yamaha BB2000.😊

More than anything else, School Days made bass a lifelong passion. Stanley Clarke was the first bass guitarist I knew who took over a record with the swagger of a lead guitarist. Larry Graham’s The Jam: Definitely showed bass could dominate the proceedings, but School Days took it to...

This is a real beauty!😎

Obviously, the Brecker Brothers Band played Fusion, but did not have the long acoustic Jazz backgrounds of founding Fusion acts like Miles Davis, Herbie Hancock’s Headhunters or Tony Williams Lifetime. The two Brecker Brothers were gifted young musicians who initially made their mark at Indiana...

Happy Birthday to a great latter day Fusion bassist! Dude is 42 August 16.

David Frank played awesome synth bass lines!

These Czech made Cirrus basses just don’t have any personality. I just hear generic active bass tone

This is cool. As much as much as he travels, it makes sense to be multilingual.

The one and only Larry Graham is 80 years old today. It really hits home how young he was when he changed bass guitar forever with Sly and later, Graham Central Station.

I Hope they tour America.

Maybe the most underrated bass genius of all.

This weekend, I got tickets to see Esperanza Spalding in a few weeks and Thundercat in late October. Two tickets for both shows combined to be over $600! I guess I just have not to gone to enough shows in recent years because those prices blew away and they tickets I got weren’t that great. I...

This is an interesting story that dames something about how competitiveness probably helped Stanley Clarke become as great as he is.

These are really cool basses. I also bought the Metroline version until I saw the Dingwall JT5 was being sold at a good price.

There is a lot of stuff here!

It’s pretty cool.

This is probably the cleanest I ever played with only the E string tuned down a whole step. I realize that I played it wrong. I will have re-record it.

This is close to the age of the bolt on neck six that I bought in 1995 and kept until 1998. These are such cool basses! That is the exact same model that I used to have!😎

Gerald Veasley is a great player who deserves a bit more recognition.

I need to find an official link, but I see that guitarist Ray Gomez,who played on School Days and a number of other great records, as passed at the age of 73.

Now that I am getting used to my JT5, I think I can compare it to my Sadowsky Modern 5. To make a long story short, both are keepers and both allow to do things that the other does not do as well. The Sadowsky gets that “Modern” soap bar tone that so many (me included) like. Playing my Modern...

This is pretty cool. I can see why he did a custom order.

I was surprised at how close my Dingwall’s slap tone was to a Stingray Special. I could gotten even closer to the Stingray tone if I had turned up the treble. The JT5 can actually do what I hoped the Lakland 55-94/55-02 could do back in the day. I’m not dumping on Lakland. If I could have...

If this is anything like the one I played at Guitar Center a few weeks ago, I know it is a real pleasure to play. If I were rich, I would buy one of these for sure.

This is different.

This is a real beauty!

This is the last tone demo I plan to record on my JT5. This bass does a credible job of reproducing Stingray and Jazz Bass. I should have recorded the Jazz bridge tone and both pickups finger style. Oh well…

To my ears, the Smith has the tone I prefer.

Great job covering MeShell Ndegeocello.

Those pajama looking outfits are dorky, but they sure can play!👍🏿

She is a fabulous bassist, singer, and writer.

I finally have time this week to kick back and play my basses. My Dingwall JT5 is the best made and best playing bass I have owned since I played Ken Smith and Modulus basses back in the late 1990’s. My Brazilian made Tagima TJB435 is the best made and sounding fretted Jazz Bass I have ever...
