The Bass Zone / Gig pics from Friday night
« on: January 10, 2010, 10:10:12 PM »
The originals blues guitarist/songwriter I play with opened for Kevin Borich on Friday night at The Vanguard, which is a small but excellent venue in Newtown here in Sydney. Kev drew a full house, with all tickets sold out by mid afternoon, so it was a great atmosphere. The audience liked us too, fortunately!
If you're wondering, that's my '84 Tokai Hard Puncher.

Bass Amps & Effects / New pedal manufacturer without batteries or power supply - Cave Passive
« on: November 25, 2009, 03:35:28 PM »
Just a heads up that there is a new Australian boutique pedal manufacturer building some really cool passive (ie. no batteries or power required) effects pedals for bass and guitar. I've just test driven their "Grunt" bass boost/overdrive pedal, and am impressed. Here's the review I wrote .....

The finish on this guitar shows that it has been played often, or at least, held a lot. The fretboard does not show much wear at all so maybe this was used by the bass player who was the singer and only had to hold the guitar.

Gibson Basses / Hard case for EB-2 or Rivoli basses?
« on: September 30, 2009, 04:02:07 PM »
I've got my eye on a Greco EB-2 copy that doesn't come with a hard case. Does anybody know if there are any aftermarket cases that will fit an EB-2 or Riv body shape? I know an Epi Casady case will work, although the Casady is long scale so there is a lot of spare space in the neck compartment of the case, so just wondering if there are other options.
