yahtee, I was just daydreaming and was wondering what is the gauge conklin uses for a low C# string for guitar? Does this work very well for guitar? While I'm...

Sounds beautiful Mark! I think the red topped knobs would go great with that bass. A nice compliment to the finish. Also, you listed purpleheart first in your...
With regards to the neck, I hope that's how it'll be. I really liked the way Bill did my last 8 with the bigger strip of bubinga down the center. Of course,...
I didn't even notice that you put PH binding on there! That's gonna be a great finishing touch! I love the colors going on in this bass and I think PH mains...
Stew, I'm sort of a basstarist. I emailed Conklin guitars once about a Low C# string for bass and they said "you could string it that waY" but "we have been...
hey Timmy, how've you been, man? the low C# on a guitar sounds wild. I imagine with the right bass player to contrast what you're doing, you could come up with...
Anybody game? The 7 string is too much for me and I could really use a nice 5... Mine is the red finish and it's a year old and came from the guitar center...
hey John, I'd love to help you out, but I don't have a 5. I'll keep my eyes and ears open, though. good luck! from the low end, Stew ===== 'The secret of life?...
I appreciate that. My local music store wants to have nothing to do with 6-string basses, let alone a bass with 7 strings (they don't even like 5-strings!)....
Mike, Sure. What do you have in mind? The bass is slightly more than a year old and I would say pristine condition. I also have an after-market Fender-ish...
