		<title>Teh H4x0rz got me.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So, thanks to my laziness in keeping wordpress up-to-date, most of my sites have been down for a while. I&#8217;ve finally got hollowbodybass.com upgraded to WordPress version 3.0, however it doesn&#8217;t want to play nice with my old theme. Please forgive the mess while I clean up&#8230;&#8230;]]></description>

		<title>Epiphone introduces the Goth Rumblekat</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, no, not really. But if they did, it would probably look an awful lot like this bass: Found this guy while surfing eBay. Pretty interesting pickup choice; I&#8217;d love to hear some sound clips&#8230;. Check out the auction for more photos: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&#038;item=200385919293]]></description>

		<title>Three years</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Wow&#8230;.just realized this site has been up for three years. Granted, it&#8217;s only be actively updated a third of that time, but 3 years is impressive none the less. One of these days this site will live up to it&#8217;s full potential&#8230; And just for old time&#8217;s sake, the bass that started me down the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Adam Clayton Rocks the Rivoli</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Prompted by a Newsweek article that drew comparisons to U2&#8242;s POP album (which happens to be my favorite U2 album &#8211; don&#8217;t hate), I went to their site to check out the new track &#8220;Get On Your Boots&#8221;. Low and behold, Mr. Adam Clayton is rocking out with a vintage Epiphone Rivoli. Screencaps: At first [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[While cleaning up the hard drive on my laptop, I came across a list of patents I&#8217;d found via Google&#8217;s Patent Search. Only one of them has anything to do with hollowbody basses, but they&#8217;re fun to look at. If you find any cool/historic/unique patents that I missed, post a link in the comments!

		<title>Charlotte, NC Guitar Show &#8211; Report</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last weekend, my father and I took a road trip to Charlotte for the annual guitar show. This year&#8217;s venue was the &#8220;Metrolina Expo.&#8221; I was expecting some sort of expo/convention center-ish setup, but instead the Metrolina Expo turned out to be a big flea-market-esque building. To me, this really cheapened the feel of the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Hofner Icon Limited Edition Finishes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Couldn&#8217;t find any info on just how limited these are, but you can still order all the colors from Musician&#8217;s Friend, as well as various eBay sellers. Here&#8217;s a flier scan from fortmadisonguitars.com: The transparent finishes are kinda blah; the white and black finishes are classic, but the pink, silver and two-tone gold finishes are [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Thanks to a link on TalkBass, I wandered over to KayGuitar.com. And what did I find there? News of a Kay K5965 &#8220;Howling Wolf&#8221; reissue! Check it out: I&#8217;m pretty stoked to see these getting some mass-market play. When I saw this flyer the first thing I though of was Fritz Brothers and their &#8220;F.B. [...]]]></description>

		<title>eBay Freak of the Week &#8211; Gibson EB-6(D)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s not very often that you see a thinline EB-6 up for sale &#8211; there were only 34 produced. This one has a second pickup that may or may not be original. Probably not, considering there aren&#8217;t extra vol/tone controls or 3-way switch on the instrument. (The switch you see in the pictures is the [...]]]></description>
