i couldn't find the bassist that i wanted in a band, so i borrowed a Dan Armstrong Bass from a pal and never gave it back. Eventually, i made major changes to it by using spare parts given to me by other pals.
The neck is a Crestwood Bass neck that i pried all the frets out and filled the spaces with wood putty. The only pickup is from a destroyed Silvertone bass, and the machine heads are from 2 different basses from 2 different friends...
the volume pot is from a Telecaster guitar (no-tone pot)
i had to re-drill holes into the body to attach this neck to it and shimmed it with peices of cardboard.
i PAID about 50 bucks for a custom bridge 10 years ago so that i can set-up the harmonics to near perfection.
I made this bass as an experiment after reading an interview of Jaco Pastorius in BASS WORLD MAGAZINE. I had no money to buy a P Bass neck and Jazz Bass body.
I have aquired a P Bass and a Rickenbacker 3001 bass and an acoustic Applause Fretless bass, but i rarely play anything but my frankenstein-experiment.

I've started reading SECRETS KEPT and I can't put it down until I got to the end. Your dialogues are incredible. The scenes are frightening. The love is believable. Is it okay if I send SECRETS KEPT to a friend of mine and my agent as well? If you haven't cast it, I like to audition.
Thanks,

"Ticklin' The Strings" by Sweet Hollywaiians
Amazing Japanese hot string band playing 1920's, 30's, 40's style hawaiian, swing, calypso, blues, italian music and originals,featuring vintage instruments.3 songs with Robert Armstrong and Tony Marcus(from Robert Crumb and His Cheap Suit Serenaders)
"The Sweet Hollywaiians have probably the best feel for this 20's music of any string band working today. They manage the rare feat of sounding relaxed even when their playing is hot, are top notch musicians with tasteful arrangements and a full, rich, warm sound.Plus, they have a nice gamut of tunes, from King Nawahi to Giovanni Vicari to Bobby Leecan. See them live, if you can, for an unforgettable experience. If you can't, buy their Cds!" ~ Terry Zwigoff
