I like the Aston's narrative "The greenhouse is finished in navy blue leather and features a ZF five-speed transmission, sending power to Borrani wire wheels at the back."
I can only assume that the greenhouse is not a botanical font.

« on: June 27, 2021, 08:44:31 AM »I'll stick my neck out here and say that in my experience the wood used for the body makes very little difference to the overall tone. I have never met anyone who could tell, for example, an alder body bass (or guitar) from an ash one without looking. Fretboard material OTOH makes a noticeable difference.Let's have an Amen on that one.

Gibson Basses / Re: What's with all the mislabeled and broken mudbuckers on ebay right now?
« on: June 27, 2021, 05:17:27 AM »Anything old is magical, even if totally broken.
OLD - Check
Partially Broken - Check
In that case I stand ready to grant your wishes!

Fender Basses / Re: 55 P bass
« on: April 27, 2021, 01:21:04 PM »That might be worthy of a George Gruhn appraisal.
He certainly should document every view and piece in great detail, especially pot dates and any notations on the neck.
I completely agree!
