Here's a long overdue song on electric bass that's dedicated to my wife Rosa

It was written backed in 2014, and I've finally had a chance to have it recorded.  Hopefully that day can always be remembered.

Myself had always been a fan of Alleva Coppolo basses.  Got obsessed years ago when I first try one and I've never looked back.  This is the instrument that ended my first stage of fancy bass adventure and decide to sit down and practice more;  Soon after the 2nd season started, of course to out beat a Coppolo bass, you'll need more Coppolo basses ..   lol ..

Few years after the first appearance of the Bongo bass, Musicman released the 25th Anniversary basses in 2009 inheriting the 4 band EQ, and put a few push buttons on top plus a passive tone knob as a bonus ! It was another innovative design since the 80s’ imo after a bunch of weird stuffs .. and looked like EBMM had made a decent success with the 25 Anniversary instruments and decided to put them into production in 2010 given the name Reflex.

Soon after Musicman Stingray was introduced in the mid-late 70s, active bass had become the new fasion when it comes to electric bass design. High output, active EQ . Stuart Spector probably built basses that represents this thick, puchy to hell the best. that is a very distinct sound for 80s music .

My last time buying a new bass from local music store was around 12 years ago, and in the past 10+ years, I’ve never decided to buy a new bass on the spot, on the first sight, unless it’s a crazy deal on something used. For a very long time, I think I’m somehow logical on making a purchase. Until this past weekend ....

This is their 34" scale legth model that's easier for electric bass players to adapt to. They also made the famous 30" Mouse, and also the single cut w/ f-hole deep model.
