Reviews

Updated Feb 2022
Something I've wanted to do over the years is to try as many different basses as possible. This includes US manufacturers as well as import models.  All of the reviews and tone reports will be posted on the main page as they happen. 

*It's important to note that I do NOT get paid for these reviews.  Manufacturers don't even know I exist-- therefore they don't send me anything.  These are basses, cases, etc. that I own.  Anything other will be noted in the review itself, and here.

Also included are reviews of the various bits of gear that I find useful. 

Overall, this page is intended to be a quick & easy reference for those reviews, so you don't have to dig through the main page to find a specific item.

When possible, I will take along one of my favorite basses as a point of reference to provide useful context for each of the reviews. 

... stay tuned!
