    Acoustic Basses

    My ABG is a Tanglewood TRB-CE 'Rosewood Reserve' which Herself got me for Xmas one year... one of those incredible totally out of the blue gifts that leaves you welling up and speechless for about half an hour. I, too, hated the bronze strings and ditched them in favour of a set of played-in Elixir nickels (i.e. about 18 months old! ). Instantly played and felt about 1000% better, even more so after I took a file to the nut slots and deepened them a bit. In an ideal world I'd take a skim off the bottom of the bridge saddle too, but I don't have the nerve to tackle that myself . Acoustically it's never going to keep up with anything more than a gently-fingerpicked acoustic guitar in an ensemble setting, but I don't care... it sounds great plugged in and of course is lovely just to sit and noodle about on. And frankly with all that rosewood it looks DDG as just an objet d'art.

  20. This is only the second year in the last 30 or so that I haven't had at least one festive gig over Xmas/New Year. (The other one was when my wrist was nadgered a couple of years ago.) This year has been an utter ***t musically, we've lost festivals and all sorts, and this miserable gig-free xmas is the rancid icing on the mouldy cake.

    Yeah, but there's a bit of a difference between musicians having a friendly dig at each other, and a retailer going "Hey bassists, you're a bit rubbish! Buy our stuff please."

    Way to lose bass customers.
