Basses
  

Mike Lull: T-Bass : YOU HEAR IT FROM BASS PLAYERS OF ALL stripes: “I’m a Fender guy,” or “I’m a Gibson guy.” It’s as if pledging allegiance to one or the other declares one’s position in the greater congress of bass. On one side of the aisle ,Nov 01, 2009

Human Base: Roxy B4 : DURING THE RENAISSANCE, LEONARDO da Vinci’s now famous drawing of the Vitruvian Man, with his multiple arms and legs spread wide in a circle, symbolized symmetry, balance, and the perfect blend of art and science. With this ,Nov 01, 2009
