    NBD - Gary Willis GWB205

    I took delivery of a gwb205! After taking some time to acclimatize to my environment I opened the package. Wow, first thought is what a nicely designed bass... this from a staunch Fender style passive player. Gary calls it a user interface in one for the videos discussing his design choices...

    Well, I finally did it, I pulled the trigger on a shiny new GWB35, my first fretless! Buuuut, Sweetwater isn't expecting it to be in until sometime in May. In the meantime, I thought I might live vicariously through my fellow TBers that own or have previously owned a GWB35. What do you guys...

    NBD Ibanez GWB205

    With the help of @Inara, I was able to snag this 2016 GWB205 for $799 in Seattle. Thoughts: 1) The weight is excellent, at 7lbs 4oz. 2) The tone is really neutral, and quite flexible with the Bartolini radiused pickup and 2 band EQ. Lots of mwah. 3) The playability is phenomenal. I really like...

    I first heard Allan’s work on Jean Luc Ponty’s Enigmatic Ocean Part 3 and his playing sounded so different to me that at first I didn’t recognize it as coming from a guitar; I thought it was a keyboard. Because of course what I had just heard couldn’t be done on a guitar. I then started...

    What's up with the Jazz bass ramps Gary Willis uses?

    Do these keep your fingers from going too deep between the strings to make your plucking more economical and efficient?
