Wait! What are us bassists even doing up the dusty end! North of the boarder without our treble passports!!

I have a lightly aged Sonic Blue Alnus Jazz Bass. Yes it’s an aged Fender copy, but it absolutely blew my Road Worn (Mexican) Fender Anniversary 60s Jazz Bass out of the water. The workmanship, the quality of the ageing (very subtle in my case) and the playability is up there with custom shop Fenders, for a quarter of the price. I sold the Fender (for what I paid for the Alnus) and now have a three bass collection — a ‘72 Precision, an ‘86 Stingray and the Alnus Jazz, which really holds its own alongside the other two. I couldn’t be happier with it.

(OK - I am a beginner on the Stick.)

What’s the stick like to play? Met this amazing Dutch player in a beach bar in Portugal last year, doing a lunchtime music set, and I became a bit obsessed with them for a while. He did a amazing rendition of Roxanne and other 80s hits.
