    The SKC Bogart owner's club

    Let's see how many people out here have Bogart basses. Also, if anyone recognizes a bass they used to own, please feel free to reach out. Let me start: I had several old ones, and still have 2 that I'd never want to part with. Love them to bits, and the funny thing is, the 5 string single...

    Most durable materials/construction for basses?

But $1.5k+ for these instruments is a steep price tag for me. Are there any other basses on the market that are highly durable for travel and...

    Which Basses Have Carbon Rods?

    Considering how much they're supposed to improve neck stability and reduce dead spots, it's surprising how little information is available on carbon rods in bass necks. Like, which basses have them, and from what year? Can we start a list? All I know is that US-made Fender basses from about...

    Are carbon fiber bars/rods worth it?

    Several years after they've been in use, what is the general opinion of carbon fiber/graphite stabilizer bars when used in maple necks?
