		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve posted about the Lakland Owners Group, now it is about time for me to write about an actual Lakland Bass. This fellow here is the Lakland Skyline 55-02. The 55 denotes that it is a 5 string, and the 02 that it has a jazz front pick up and a musicman style one at the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[  I&#8217;ve been thinking about listening today. Partly because I&#8217;ve been turning the studio upside down trying to find my trusty Shure E3 in-ear monitors. They are missing in action. Not good. They were a very special part of my bass kit. There is little that beats the feeling of your insides being liquidized by [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m talking about the bit of the bass that keeps the strings on, not that funny bit of the song between the verse and the chorus. What we have here today, my fellow bass lovers, is a tale of three bridges. It wasn&#8217;t until I saw a Badass bridge on a bass for the first time [...]]]></description>

Understanding the difference between string types involves lots of factors, far too many for one post anyway, so this post will focus on the underlying design of the strings, and the major string [...]]]></description>

Either way, the cab (and the speaker within it) are the final link in the bass guitarist&#8217;s sounds chain. But how do you choose a cab? What do you look for?

The Spellbinder Bass II marks the return of the model from the synonymous Spellbinder corp (I&#8217;ve been desperate to use that word for weeks). The model has had a long break, it is almost three decades since the first batch of Spellbinders were built in the early 80&#8242;s. So [...]]]></description>

If you haven&#8217;t been lusting after a 7 string Conklin, how about going to the opposite extreme with this fellow:   It is the Longbow American Classic 2 String Bass. Pretty straight forward, although quite high quality-looking, construction. More stickish that a Chapman Stick and [...]]]></description>
