Yes agree, rather nice tonewood. I have a slab swamp ash tele that’s not light but not a beast either. It’s very resonant.

:)):crying: mmuller, you’re so funny just had to laugh, but you can really play that box and one talented mofo. Hope all is well with you through all of this. Best to you!

BTW, I don’t have to tell you that the Japanese made Pro II’s are kickass basses and perhaps one of the most underrated until Burton played them and people began to realize what they are. I’ve played...

I don’t disagree with anything you’ve said. However, the joy from all of this is that artists who would otherwise remain obscure to folks except those who follow their genre get lifted by being...

Allen, as you know, Steve is the real deal and a banjo Grammy don’t lie. I saw him and the Rangers in concert 6 or so years ago at the Pantages theatre here in Hollywood and they rocked it. Such...

BTW, let’s not forget Bub in all of this, he rocks the bass on this song. Great to have such an all star cast around a really solid frontman, it lifts all of them up.

Great stuff, thanks for sharing. Always happy to see an artist make it, whether it’s something I completely dig or not. BTW, I think his voice is very interesting and genuine.

Very nice. Love the color choice and maple on that baby.

I owned one of Mike’s early Jazz basses and often wish I had kept it. It was so light and resonant (like 8.5lbs), it just sang. I traded it away for an early Wal which I still have but often...

Was a shocker to hear Mike had passed. He could repair anything but built some pretty wonderful bass guitars. RIP

May want to have a qualified repair guy give it a once over and setup. By ‘qualified’, I’m referring to someone who has experience working on mandolins. I don’t know where you live but folks here can...

Yup, 3 huge lots in nearby Wilmington alone. https://www.lkqpickyourpart.com/locations/LKQ_Pick_Your_Part_-_Wilmington_-_Help_Yourself-262/recents/ As you can imagine demand is high with a population...

They’re alive and well. There’s an industrial area in Wilmington that has 3 humongous lots, mostly 80’s and newer stuff. My ‘50 Chev’s seat cost me $26 bucks and 30 minutes of time. It came out of a...

Ah yes, my bud has a ‘56 Safari wagon, the rare cousin of the Chevy Nomad.

I’ve never liked 4-door cars no matter how far you go back..they’ve always looked odd to me unless they were wagons. :grin::grin:

I’m reasonably sure that an auto or boat interior shop could whip that out in a heartbeat. Take them the case and they’ll make you a pattern, you pick the material from their samples. There’s really...

Call it age/wisdom or whatever but when people ask my opinion on things like this, it’s usually for validation so I tend to refrain from comment. I was heavy in the car culture in Southern Cal.and...

Most acoustic amps won’t do a bass properly, see Phil Jones Bass website. They’re not designed for the lower frequencies and fart out completely. Fact, it’s not difficult to blow your speakers. I was...

This would be a good gigging rig too...

:grin::grin: mr. biggs

Just for posterity and folks who have no idea what the term ‘slab’ really means in the guitar world.. The above pictured 60’s pbass wouldn’t be considered a ‘slab’ because it has body cuts and...

I like the bass player in Split Lip Rayfield’s approach. 16 or 21 gallons, regular or high test, Holley carb sticker included.. no extra cost...:))

Rad Dad, you’re the best bro.

Adapting to a 42” scale and fretless would be a huge commitment, especially if she hasn’t played before. Unless she has giant hands like you! :grin::grin:;) I’ve played for many years and it’s always...

Big dad - Pickup a fender jazz (lower level Squire model) and a small bass amp used. Add flatwound strings to simulate an upright sound. As Don says, most acoustics won’t give you what you’re looking...
