In my recent foray into surf rock guitardom let me say...
the bass is so under-represented in this genre. If the bass ain't
happenin' it don't matter how good your JM tone is. If your band has
a good bass player, buy him a beer or something because no one
really focusses or understands what he is doin'(except maybe the
gogo dancers). If the bass guy/gal can play without a seemingly
unrelated string of letters on paper in front of their face, you've
got a keeper. BTW, if anyone wants to share some key surf bass
chops, I have an email of someone who really could use the 3rd party
help.

P.S. Maybe the woman from The Mermen will contact me. I like her
sound alot.
