The upcoming issue of Bass Guitar magazine has a review of the Profile bass… here are a few excerpts…
Bruce Thomas was known in the middle years of his career for playing a salmon-pink Fender Precision, but this splendid instrument – responsible for many of his best bass parts – was pinched by some callous swine in the 1980s.
