Re: Loudest Unplugged Bass

Yea, 

But no one had even one single word of encouragement so I think it's time to move on. 

I knew it was hopeless from the start but I thought is was worth a shot to see if anybody knew of a magic ABG.

I don't want to actually use an amp either. 

Just thought up the Ashbory and Pignose as a joke because they are actually smaller then a 4/4 standup 

Well, If I get done with work on time tomorrow, I guess I'm a guitar player again.
