Fender 60th Anniversary Precision Bass vs.............

Thank you, thank you so much, FENDER!

These days, Fender celebrate his 60th anniversary! Congratulations!

For this they placed a very nice Precision bass I would like to get and maybe some of you as well.

But what happens?? Yah! Not for us lefties! Thank you so much, FENDER!!!!

If sometimes a Fender contributor lose time on this website, I would like to tell him this:

My respect for this company disappears critical.

I hope you don´t lose so much respect in my eyes, like some other company too.

May your pride get not completely in pan on arrogance!"

For the right-handed a few interesting details:

Since its birth in 1951, the Fender® Precision Bass guitar has redefined popular music, and continues to in the hands of contemporary

artists worldwide.

The 60th Anniversary Precision Bass guitar embodies six decades of Fender bass legacy in a

collectible U.S.-made instrument. Features include an ash body, maple neck and fretboard with modern 9.5• radius

and medium jumbo frets, vintage Precision Bass split single-coil pickup, modern tuners, high-mass vintage bridge,

knurled control knobs, black pickguard,

Blackguard Blonde thin-skin lacquer finish, commemorative neckplate, and Fender/SKB® molded case.

Congratulations!

Sylvain Bolduc has written a really good and comprehensive book for bassplayers

I would like to introduce you here:

.

I wrote my first instructional Bass book called Groove 101. It should be available in Europe in february.

It is a book written in French and English with over 300 original grooves and exercises to practice

your inner clock,timing,sound,reading,vocabulary etc....

It comes with a dvd data that contains over 1,000 tracks to play with. There is no book like that

on the market, I believe.

This is my first book out of four that I'm publishing,

Here is the link where you can purchase online also:

Thank you for your time,

Sylvain Bolduc from Canada :)

Whenever Hubert Doering is going to travel the long distance from the north

of Germany to my home, his car is full of basses and other great bass stuff!

On the 30th of March I was the witness of his latest achievements.

At first there is one of these very, very expensive Rheingold amplifieres!

A clean sounding Rheingold B200 amp!

Second a brand new Made in Germany Börjes JB Classic 4 lefthand MN

bass and last but not least a Dean Pace upright bass.

Gerald Marleaux

The things are going on, with my new Marleaux bass. Slowly but surely!

The neck with modern and captivating technology is developed now and ready for the finish.

The completion delayed for 4 month, so I hope to get it in June this year.

Gerald Marleaux and the body of my Consat Signature

Thank´s for your interest. I apologize for answering a few e-mails, which took a bit longer than usual. There were and are reasons for it.
I unfortunately had to cancel the forum due to low participation.

I thank those who had to participate at this time with contributions to it.

Take care,
Arni
