   Hey all, just thought I'd let you know how this turned out. The EMG-J's arrived. As I mentioned before they were originally meant for the four-string fender jazz but are advertized as working for a five-string as well. They did not exactly fit...(more)

   Does anyone know of some good sources for Standard Jazz Progressions? I'm especially interested in online material, but if someone has a book they feel is especially useful, I'd appreciate knowing about that as well - title &amp; author pleas...(more)

   By the way, just realized you had said "two MP3's", so I assume the only ones you've seen are the ones on Activebass. I do have several other MP3's available via the net (totally free lest you fear I'm trying to sell something). So if you want...(more)

    I'd echo the comments on tact &amp; probably try to remind you that tact isn't for the weak, it's for those who give a s--- about anyone other than themselves. No insult intended - just the truth. Also, I'd ask, if you have the opportunity to...(more)
