It also has the right dimensions and playing feel, but with a reduced-size body to make traveling a snap. Plugged in, though, it sounds exactly like a full-sized bass with a pickup on it, making it a viable substitute for toting your big bass. WHAT SHOULD I KNOW ABOUT GUT STRINGS?

On the downside, gut strings do require a little maintenance; for instance, it is advisable to gently clip any "hairs" (hair-like little strands of gut that develop with play). You may also need to oil them as part of your routine(more

BASSES - DIFFERENT CONSTRUCTION TECHNIQUES Rather, high-quality, thin maple laminates are pressed and glued for the back and sides. Maple and spruce are the traditional woods used for fully carved basses, and likewise, most instrument-makers use laminates of the same woods for their laminated basses as well. The top and back are pressed over a form to create the desired shape.

I joined my Dad pretty early on, and we grew the business together for several years. When Bob decided it was time to retire, we went outside the family and brought Christopher on board, to replace me, so that I could focus my attention on learning the ropes and eventually replace him. I ultimately "bought Dad out" a little over five years ago, and we were back to two employees again, which seems to be our ideal balance. In that way, I guess our situation is kind of like the Sith "rule of two" from _Star Wars_; we always eventually fall back to the master and the apprentice (though that is purely a _business_ distinction, Christopher could definitely teach me more than a thing or two on actually _playing_ the upright!) So, I'm telling you all of this because Christopher has decided that the time has come for him to move on to pursue his music full-time; so Gollihur Music has brought on a new "apprentice." Luckily, no-one has to lose any limbs in a lightsaber duel; although I'm bummed to see him go, we'll let Chris walk out the door with our best wishes. So, I wanted our longtime customers to be aware that you might hear a new voice on the end of your phone line, or read a unexpected name after the "Thanks!" note on your invoice or email signature. It's all good - Christopher is leaving on excellent terms, and leaves behind very big shoes to fill.
