Hey folks.  Thinking of building a CBG bass and I have a question or 2. Does it matter what kind of magnetic pickup I put in it?  I mean is there one specific for basses?  Also, does the 3 or 4…Continue

Collaborate on each track, mate. Leave the rest to chance...

wow mate - looks like a dulcimer on 'roids!

Lovely bass Mr Bretz! That ret board seems to glow!

ok, I am up for the challenge Mr Lowman, where to begin? As you are the veteran - lead the way mate! Do you mean collaborate on each track? Or compile tunes fomr each of the LFLs?
Comment by HENRY LOWMAN on September 18, 2009 at 6:03pm
Here's a twisted idea that may or may not work. Do an internet collaboration, in which musicians from several places across the Atlantic submit MP3s to one another, on which the next musician adds tracks, then sends it off to the next, and so on. This would be a variation on a Surrealist game called the Exquisite Corpse. You could name the collaboration the LOW FREQUENCY LORDS (or LFL for short), a new take on the "Low Rock" begun by Mark Sandman of Morphine, but taking that concept to the next level. Just a thought, mate.

THANK YOU! Damn if I can figure out how this thing keeps on defying gravity, though. CHEERS!

What can I say Henry - kick ass! Now the problem is I want one!
(way to raise the bar mate).

Hey! It defies gravity. Who'd o' thunk it? CHEERS!
