Re: Makeev Travel Bass

Very cool! I "built" a bass from their options, and it came to $1125. Considering it's a 5-string, with a good EQ system, this is not unreasonable, and would be perfect for traveling anywhere throughout the World...

Re: Lakland 5 string $1500

The first time I ever heard a Lakland was at at a Schofield Army Barracks, in Hawaii, on Oahu, 4th of July Celebration, in 2000, that featured Eddie Money opening, Joe Walsh, then the Doobie Brothers as the headliner... I was picnic-ing on the lawn, about two hundred feet from the stage when the ...

Re: Michael Kelly dragonfly fretless 5 string acoustic [Atla

These are beautiful basses.. I was very lucky, and bought a fretted 4-string that looks just like this one, off of eBay years ago... total cost, with shipping, at that time to Hawaii, was about $220. This is a Very good price for a fretless 5-string, and I hope someone on this forum picks it up!

Re: A Strange Fender J Frankenbas...

That is an odd one! Well, it's an 'A' neck with a round laminated fingerboard.. 1963? I always thought those fingerboards didn't happen until a bit later than that.. but, it is late '63, so who really knows for sure? The painted headstock is from that era. Early EMG's? And the second gen made for ...

A Strange Fender J Frankenbas...

So, I've agreed to help the widow of a fellow bass buddy that passed away last year... The plate shows "L15400", which puts it in the 1964 range, and the neck is stamped "7DEC1963 A". It's also a Right Handed neck, put on a left handed body, but, the body is not a Fender as far as I know. My friend ...
