Just when i tried to quit the bass buying business, Bob Shade of Hallmark Guitars pulled me back in. I just used my Swept Wing Bass on a recording session at the Barber Shop Studios in Lake Hopatcong, NJ.
It plays in perfect tune all over the neck,it's light, and so easy to play.Did i mention that it sounds awesome?In these days of bass guitars with 18 volt batteries and too many pickups, the Swept Wing is like a breath of fresh air.Many thanks to Bob Shade for resurrecting the Hallmark line, and helping me to become a Hallmark Artist. |
