Hi Tom! Well, I'm glad to see you are alive and well. How's Nashville? What kind of gear are you using these days?
As of now, I have 14 basses, three are Edwards basses, building another 5 right now.
I have a good friend from New Jersey, that just moved there after living in Reno, then Van Nuys, California. He's a damn good bassist, he's righty.....lol! .... and a flight instructor.
Hey Dave, Nashville has been very kind to me. I'm doing really well here. What's your friends name? Maybe I know him.
As for gear, I currently have about 10 electric basses and 2 uprites. I still use the Kolstein bass as my main uprite but I recently purchased a Shen SB80 laminate bass that I really love. It's a fully converted lefty uprite and has a great
'gut string" tone to it (without having to actually use gut strings!) real thumpy and dark sounding. As for electric basses, mostly early to mid 70's Fender's (both P and J's) but I recently picked up a Lakeland Joe Osborne 4 string from a member here. It's a great bass and I'm really happy with it. My only 5 string at the moment is a Sadowsky NYC vintage J 5 string which kills any 5 string I've ever played. It's my main studio bass and I'm in process right now of ordering a 4 string version of it from Sadowsky. That's about it for basses. Hope you're well and tearing it up as usual!!
