    New Fender Limited Edition Mike Kerr Jaguar Bass

    These have been popping up at a couple of vendors now, with no indication of a release date whatsoever. I do love the idea though of a 30 inch Jag Bass that's a bit more upscale than the Squier one from a couple of years ago. And I dig the incredibly named Tiger's Blood Orange. What do you guys...

    I'm wanting to do some slap stuff on the family 1/4 scale bass, but I still want it to be bowable for the kids. The best option I can find for a fractional bass is Corelli medium set (which isn't going to be as loud as I want). Anything else I should be looking at? Options I'm not aware of that...

    I currently have a Sterling by MusicMan Ray34HH in Stealth Black which looks and sounds amazing. However, almost since day 1, I've struggled with it being just a bit heavier than I'm comfortable with, especially for longer jams or shows. Recently, I've been pondering off-loading it in favour...
