September 7, 2011, marks the 75th birthday of music icon Buddy Holly, and to celebrate Fantasy Records/Concord Music Group—the team behind the star-studded, best-selling Rave On Buddy Holly tribute compilation—is partnering with GuitarWorld.com to give away a Fender Classic Series Fifties Stratocaster, a guitar that epitomizes the vibe of the Fifties.
Fantasy Records/Concord Music Group's Rave On Buddy Holly tribute features My Morning Jacket, The Black Keys, Modest Mouse, Nick Lowe, Florence + The Machine, Cee Lo Green, Paul McCartney, and more.
A true pop pioneer whose astonishing tunes boasted rock and roll punch, irresistible hooks and boundary-pushing sonic sweep, Buddy Holly would be 75 years old on September 7 of this year. Sadly, of course, he died in 1959 at age 22. But Holly's music never died, and has exerted a profound influence on virtually every part of the pop music soundscape. His sparkling hooks, tender lyrics and elegantly concise compositions set the bar for all the rock, country and pop tunesmiths who followed in his brilliant wake. A bold affirmation that proves his music, on the eve of his 75th birthday, is more relevant than ever, Rave On Buddy Holly tips its collective hat with love and appreciation.

Review: Ernie Ball Music Man HS Bongo 6 six-string bass
http://bit.ly/o9Self
Totally killer design looks like tomorrow, sounds incredible.
The 6-string MusicMan Bongo Bass Guitar is crafted from select basswood carved into one of the most distinctive electric guitar body styles ever. The MusicMan Bongo is very well balanced and responsive. Features include a super-tight 5-bolt joint to a select maple neck with a rosewood fingerboard. Dual neodymium humbucker pickups with 4-band EQ on 2 concentric knobs and continuous balance provide huge tone with precision command. The Bongo electric bass's Schaller BM tuners with tapered string posts, easily accessible truss rod, matching headstock, and a graphite acrylic resin-coated body cavity (for supreme noise shielding) add up to true Music Man luxury. Earnie Ball Music Man bass guitars are among the best bass guitars.
