    Memphis J/P Bass Copy?

    I've had this cherry red Memphis bass lying around the house for awhile, when was it made/manufactured? I did a little research and I noticed Memphis is a Japanese brand from the early 80s and is now disbanded. Can anybody give me any info on this bass? Thanks. Oh yeah and it sounds like hot...

    Memphis P-bass pickguard

    Does anyone know if a standard Fender pickguard will fit a Memphis P-bass? I'm tempted to pick up a fixer-upper.

    Gibson memphis ES-les paul bass vs Duesenberg starplayer bass

    Its only a 100-200 euro difference, and tho I like the duesedorf more its my understanding that the bass is only assebmled in germany, the parts and wood on the other hand are actually made in korea. Is this true? If it is, how do you justify the price that is almost as same as the gibson which...

    This is the studio version with Tommy Cogbill on bass. I had heard only the Live at Fillmore West version with Jerry Jemmott on bass. There are many similarities, but Jerry's has many more variations and subtleties. I do like Tommy's line in the last measure of each 12 bar pattern (see...
