Tom's Gear For Sale!

It may come as a surprise to some of you that I would even consider selling anything, but the truth of the matter is that I do have a finite amount of space (and not-infinite resources!), so every now and then, something has to go. This is a list of gear that I might sell. I reserve the right to change my mind at any point, so if you see something you really like, hopefully you'll catch me in the right mood. ;^] Once I commit to a sale, though, I will of course follow through.

Here's the gear that I may be tempted to let go for one reason or another:

If you are wondering why all the posts on this blog are so out of date, it is because I have been devoting the lion's share of my "free time" to Bass Gear Magazine. This is a magazine which I founded after Guitar World stopped publishing Bass Guitar Magazine (I wrote reviews for them prior to their demise).

Bass Gear Magazine is available in both a high quality print form and also an online digital form (for free!). We have some excellent staff, and we perform out own independent, detailed bench testing. Check us out at www.bassgearmag.com.

Skjold Lion's Pride Model-A

Here are some shots of my latest Skjold (thanks, Juneau!). It is a Lion's Pride Model-A, with an ash body, redwood top, 3-piece maple neck, figured maple board with redwood blocks, Skjold SD-1 pickups set in the '70's Jazz position, and a custom East/Skjold Deluxe preamp.

I am going to pick it up at Pete's new digs when he moves to Ohio next week.


























































































































































I'm sure I will post more when I get it my own hands. Man, I can't wait!

I'm really anxious to check out my custom East preamp, too. I had asked Pete if it was possible to get his Deluxe preamp set up vol/vol, but still retain the option to switch to series mode. In series mode, the two pickups act as one big pickup, so you can't have vol/vol. But here's were John East got really slick. You switch to series mode by pulling up on the first volume knob, which then becomes your master volume (and the 2nd vol is inactive in series mode). Slick!

Tom.

Winter NAMM 2008

Okay, who else is going to the NAMM show in Anaheim this January? I will be out there (mostly on Friday and Saturday), and I hope to meet up with some of my friends in the industry as well as my fellow bass-playing buds. Feel free to send me an e-mail or PM if you are going to be out there.

There is a Bass Bash at J.T. Schmidts both Thursday night and Friday night, and I expect to be there both nights (though later on Thursday).

Take care, Tom.

Well, NAMM and the Bass Bash were both just great! I really enjoyed meeting and hanging out with my friends from TalkBass.com, and of course checking out all that gear was just great!

I'll have extensive coverage of the show in the inaugural issue of Bass Gear Magazine, a new (obviously gear-related) magazine, of which I am the Editor-in-Chief. :^) Stay tuned for more details...
