Ooo… Looks interesting: Bass Gear Magazine. It is free on-line - after your register, a link and password gets sent to your inbox. You can read it in your trusty old web browser. It’s worth getting a big monitor for :). There is a paid-for print version available for people who need to do the dead-tree thing.

This month’s edition has a ‘big show’ report which includes NAMM 08, Musikmesse and others. There’s a review of the Fender Tele Bass - which a definite love it or hate it instrument - I’m in the ‘meh!’ camp. Yuck. There is also a nice editorial from Tom Bowlus, editor-in-chief. It is generally 116 pages of bass goodness, including bench-tests and a range of other articles. Nice one Tom!
