The Last Bass Outpost

Don't get all excited. It was just silver, not chrome. 

Well, that could be bad news, or it could mean making room for a new model or two. We'll know by late this week.

I see that Music123 is showing a price drop on the Mon(k)ey, now $999. But it's not shown as a closeout...yet.

The Dodge Nitro, huh? Is that a nitro-burning funny car? 

I'll bet the Dodge Poly is more durable. 

I didn't realize anyone had bought the Artec yet, but the inner construction looked the same, at least from the photos I saw on eBay. With that, and if they use #42 AWG wire to get that 30K, chances are it will sound very much like the originals.

Thanks, Tony. That looks like an interesting site, I'll add their press release section to my RSS feeds.

Gibson missed their chance doing a Jack Bruce Reissue EB-1.  That is a short scale solid body bass icon!  They could use the same pickup as the SG RI, 460 Schaller bridge and working tuners and they would have a great sounding bass.  And they could do a few carved maple top variations  and double pickup versions for "GOWs"

You never know, it could happen. Jack's involvement would be doubtful, though, since he's a Warwick endorser.

There was a short-lived Epi EB-1 reissue a few years back. It had a strange looking matte finish. gweimer owned a fretless one for awhile and IIRC did some extensive mods to it. The only ones I saw in stores were set up so badly they were hardly playable.

I'm always a little skeptical of health news reporting, seems the major media are always trying to panic the public. But take a look at this story. If it's accurate, it could be a major breakthrough.

I wonder, is the Thunderbird image available as clipart? If not, you could probably find something very close.
