    Some Thunda from Downunda ... anyone?

    Earlier this year some good friends gifted me a coffee-table book for a special birthday. This book was self-published by a g*%#@r nut ... who also collects basses. All the instruments in his collection were made by Maton Guitars and I just found out he's got them on display at Sydney's...

    ...it might be this one. The mighty Maton Ibis. In long looking for odd-ball basses, this one had long caught my eye on the archived site of a defunct Australian shop with a prohibitive "NOT FOR SALE" in bold: Maton Ibis bass Reading the description, and finding similar info elsewhere, I...

    Buying Bass in Japan to Australia

    Hey all Aussie fellas, I am planning to buy a Bacchus bass in Japan, and bring it back to Australia. Just wondering if anyone has experience doing that or not. I am concerned when bringing it back on the flight, is it going to be a problem? Also, welcome to any store recommendation in Tokyo!

    Any Down Under Wonders care to join? We can complain about how much more things cost just because we live in a different hemisphere and post pics of us at the beach, surfing and in our shorts on Xmas day. Let me know! G'day and all that!

    Spring In Australia - Not what you would expect....

    Most people outside of Australia (and also most of those that live here) think that it's always hot and dry everywhere. Where I live it can be a little different to the rest of the country. Our town is the main feeder to the two NSW ski resorts 30 mins drive away and we're currently...

    Greetings from Australia

    Hello here. My name is Michael. I’ve been playing the guitar for almost 15 years and occasionally played bass mostly for recording it for my band. Never had one personal before as it was easier to borrow one for month from my friends, do the stuff and return it. Almost a year ago I moved to...

    Australia Day Gig

    Exactly one year ago was my first decent hitout on Bass. I played (badly) about 20 songs over 3hrs, on an ancient P copy with an action as high as it's value was low. This year, I had my StingRay, played about 60 songs over 5hrs, sang a couple and looked around, enjoying all the Aussie day...

    MC Systems dynamic control pedals.

    These look really interesting. I dig the idea, it's like Apples force touch but on a pedal. Push harder, get a different result. All analog! Anyone try these yet? I hear the designer is a bassist. Home - MC SYSTEMS MUSIC They look sweet too
