A Byrds tribute band, and you're playing Chris Hillman's part. Yeah, I just saw that video screen capture come up on Youtube 8)

Indeed two projects. Byrds tribute band, in which I play bass and sing. And, I'm assembling a lefty version of the "mystery" bass Hillman used for the TV taping below(and in JIMK's video).

Oh well, I guess no one remembers Jim. Chris looks like Jim Roberts in that screen capture, and IIRC, Jim used to play with a Gibson bass.

Hmm, the bass in the screen capture looks like it says Fender on it? What's the skinny on that?

Yep, the bass is a true mystery, guess that's why it's always intrigued me.
