The Last Bass Outpost

Ever since Sacheen Littlefeather's claimed Indian ancestry was exposed as a lie last year by Native American writer Jacqueline Keeler, I've been following  the exposés of Pretendians, especially in Canada.

Today a CBC show aired an exposé of Buffy Sainte-Marie. After watching it, I'm convinced that she's been deliberately lying about her claimed ancestry for 60 years, to her financial benefit. It's shocking, and what's really appalling are the ugly threats from her attorneys, and her personally in one case.

The Watt Thumpbucker is guitar humbucker sized. Always nice to see more selection on the market.

Bud-Electro Serenader Solid Body Electric Bass Guitar , c. 1940s/1960s

Bud was the son of Paul Tutmarc. He was well-known in lap steel circles as a player, and he also made lap steels and a few basses under his Bud-Electro Serenader brand in the late 40s to early 50s. Despite what the listing's description says, I sincerely doubt this is a Jazzmaster copy '58 or later body. The cutaways are different from a Jazzmaster, and AFAIK Bud didn't make anything that late.
