Carli Munoz Trio
Nice recent album with Eddie Gomez and Jack DeJonette. I love Eddie's sound on this, very dark, and he plays some amazing stuff. Jack is predictably unpredictable, as always.

Great Stuff...
Thanks for the history lesson, Ken (which is why I followed you to this forum). I'm surprised that you found similar tuners on your Loveri and Morelli basses, especially with the same flared cog...

So, the terms Bohemian, German, French, etc. really are used to define style, and not necessarily the actual location of manufacture? If my bass actually was made in Bohemia, as the label asserts,...

Bohemian Bass
I thought I would contribute to this forum with some info on a bass I purchased in April, 06 after a two year search. After visiting shops in NY, Boston, Cincinatti, ISB Convention and elsewhere, I...
