Now boys.Jon Joe, everyone knows that Leo Fender only became better at crafting guitars over time, thus.go and check out the GL's. Actually, my main bass is a mid-80's GL 5-string. It's particularly rugged and keeps true to tune as well. I stand behind GL's but you will definitely

I played one of those today and I liked it pretty good, but it still doesn't have that long, unctuous sustain that I need for KRhodes new stuff. Yeah, sustain is not what the Danelectro / Jerry Jones style ones are about, for sure. Seems like the P-bass is pretty irrefutable in these

Sol Hoopii, Master of the Hawaiian Guitar Vol. 1 and others (my copy is Rounder 1024), is certainly a primer on this kind of instrument. He used a couple of different tunings on this effort recorded between 1926 and 1930, which was probably a simpler time. In further lap steel news, and since
