Doing Things Wrong

Signifyin' Monkey

Years ago I wandered into the local Border's bookstore, and this CD was playing - Michael Hill's Blues Mob. I asked the kid what it was, and bought a copy right there. I'll bet you've never heard of this band.


This was my third go at a 325 bass. The first one was unbalanced with this long neck, and the second suffered a router mishap. Eventually, I salvaged both of those, but first I took all the good parts and did this. Fender-type alder body with 3-tone sunburst, single binding. Surface-mounted pickups, active electronics. Finished entirely in polyurethane.
