    NBD- Mother Always Said Use Protection

    Ok, so the title will make sense in a bit. Anyhow… have you ever wanted to own a Pre-CBS 1960 Jazz Bass, but just could never in a million years afford it? Yeah, me too.

    Parker Fly Bass Appreciation Thread

    I purchased a Parker Fly 5-string around two years ago now. I have strung it E-C and use it extensively for smaller jazz combos (trios/quartets) where the bass perhaps "normally" would be an upright bass. However, with the extremely responsive design of this bass, the ultra stable neck that...

    What exactly did Charlie Parker practice in the woodshed?

    I know this isn't about a bass player, but anything learned from one of the greatest musicians of all time is valuable information indeed. Everyone has heard the story about Charlie Parker getting that cymbol thrown at him during a "jam" session, (which as I've read, the cymbol was not thrown...

    Christian McBride-Soul Power from Soul Classics-Maceo Parker

    I happened upon this song on Pandora and downloaded it on iTunes. Christian McBride just absolutely kills it! A little drum and bass solo about 2/3rds of the way through. Also listened to an NPR interview with awhile back. Cool guy. Big James Brown fan so no surprise.

    NBD: Parker Fly 5

    Okay, i'll be the first to admit I like 'different' basses. My stable included MVP5's, a Kubicki Ex Factor, and now a Parker Fly 5 (the early original USA model). I know, I know, people out there just don't seem to 'groove' on the whole design thing. I've read the posts here on TB. Yet...
