From The Nashville Cream
POSTED BY SEAN MALONEY ON WED, DEC 12, 2012 AT 7:45 AM Nashville Cream: I grew up in Boston, I was raised on Aerosmith, and my first big question is: What was your first favorite local band when you were coming up?

I found an interesting article concerning tips for buying a used bass. I couldn't find much recent info on the author, Bruce Robinson, but here's an excerpt from his article:
Looking for a good used bass? You should know some important facts: 1) The neck is the single critical component.
