    NBD: Rapier Saffire by Alan Entwistle!!

    Picked up this baby for £100 on Facebook marketplace and I’m feeling very happy about the purchase! I don’t see loads of discussion about these but they play and sound really great, especially with the price I paid for it. An homage to British bass making, it mixes elements of burns and Wilson...

    Am I nuts or do I need to do this to all my basses immediately?

    Saw this on Facebook marketplace (now sold) and thought it was the sickest simple modification to a pickguard you can possibly do- instant Burns-esque coolness. Very tempted to buy a new pickguard for my jazz bass and hack it up like this! Thoughts?

    Burns Bison Reissue - serial no help / Glued In vs. Set Neck?

    Had my eye on a Burns reissue for a while. I had been tracking the Marquee Club but then a Bison came up and from what I read it's a higher quality version of a very similar thing. Plus, the seller was in Poland and my band had a show in Poland not too far away from him. Kizmet, right? There...

    Hey, I’m surprised I can’t find this info but I’m trying to figure out how to get the bass tone on Serge Gainsbourg’s iconic Je T’aime. I think it may have been Dave Richmond playing a Burns Bison bass but it sounds more like a Hofner or something with a pick through an Ampeg B15? Anyway...

    Burns - Baldwin Jass Basses

    I have an original Burns / Baldwing jazz bass and then the asian made copy comes out, so I bought it. I like both but although they look alike, they are very different instruments. The original is very 60's deep bass sound and the copy (green/ black burst) sounds contempory but without as much...

    I went on a buying spree and have picked up a bunch of quirky shortscales with slim necks...Klira, Micro-Frets, Baldwin Burns, and, skinniest of all, a Framus 5/140 with a body like a softshell turtle and a neck like a broomstick. Now all of my Fenders and Fender-likes feel like giant unwieldy...
