Sledgehammer 4 String Bass (Ash) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have a modified version of this instrument. The prior owner had converted it to a fretless by removing the frets (a risky move, but what the heck, it didn't destroy the neck, so,...). I love this instrument. With or without the frets, I can say that the neck feels great, and you can't beat that big fat music man-style humbucker for the tones it gives! If you find one of these, they're well worth the investment.

Normandy ATGHT-AG Archtop Guitar, Powder Coated, Army Green Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)OK, check this out. The first thing that caught my eye was the army green color. So, I pick up the guitar and it's a hollow body made of aluminum! Genius.
Brought it home, plugged it in and instead of playing on it for hours, I put it back in it's case because once i get started working on this baby, I won't be able to stop. The potential of tone widths are endless. The solid feeling Bigsby Tail wham (which I normally would despise) makes sense on a metal guitar, Think about it.
Anyway, as with all my guitars, once I do my regular personal tweaks and maybe ask Normandy to make me a very old school style neck (my main baby is a 65 Tele), I may be the happiest man in the world. Get one of these now. Incredible color and finish choices (my pal Dave Catching got the chrome one), because I guaranty that in about 20 years these will be selling for $25,000. A GREAT guitar. haven't had time to customize it yet, but I'll still be using it on an upcoming tour. Well done Normandy.

Warwick Thumb Bolt-On Neck Bass Guitar, ¹ Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This bass is superb. I have had plenty of bass guitars, but the Thumb is undeniably the best performing instrument I've owned. Recently having upgraded from the Warwick Corvette, to the Thumb, one major detail that can't be left unsaid, is the weight. The Thumb is noticeably light (especially compared to the heavy Corvette). Even while being on a much higher plain quality wise, this instrument manages to stay paper-light. Believe it or not, I am writing this review a whole four years after my initial purchasing of the Thumb. I am happy to say, over the course of the last four years, I have had ZERO major problems related to this instrument. I highly suggest this guitar for any serious musician, and/or bass enthusiast. Not to mention, you will be hard pressed to not catch some desiring eyes wherever you unveal the thumb..

Normandy Guitars ATB-RR Archtop Bass Guitar (Powdercoated, Rat Rod Grey) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)A week ago I had never heard of Normandy guitars and now they are definitely in my top three list of favorite guitar manufacturers. Amazon was having a crazy bass sale last week. Many basses were being offered for over 50% off. I was looking with the intent of buying a few to sell with the hope of earning myself a free bass. I found this Normandy among the sale offerings and was definitely curious. I did a little research, watched a few youtube videos, and read some articles and reviews. All of which just aroused my curiosity even further. Since Amazon has such pain free returns I decided to give it a shot. It was one of the best decisions I've made in my life. This bass is constructed from pure genius and coated heavily in awesome sauce. First off looks. At first glance it pretty much looks like any old arch top bass and then the rivets catch your eye. Hmmm...this is a little different. What you've got is the elegance of an old school arch top and the complete badassness of a tank. I've only had three or four friends see this instrument so far and every one of them has been extremely impressed. Players and nonplayers alike. It is a true beauty. I'm no expert player or sound tech so my review of it's sound will be brief. Basically it sounds and plays like a really high quality classic bass. Nice bell/piano like super clear tones of a Rickenbacker and the fact it's made of aluminum is barely noticeable audibly. If you use a very heavy attack or play close to the bridge you can hear the slightest metallic "ring" in the sound but other than that you would be hard pressed to notice this bass is made of anything other than wood. Simple controls make this bass a breeze to dial in. It definitely doesn't have the broad range of tone of a modern active bass but what it does it does exceptionally well in my opinion. Does great for classic rock, punk, and jazz. A great instrument built by a great new company right here in the USA. Very close to me in Salem Oregon actually. If you are looking for a true modern classic this is bass for you.
