"Excellent read!"
This book was a wonderfully-written exploration into the respective minds of a crime victim on the one hand, and her kidnapper on the other. Lippman opened up my awareness of the various influences that lead a person ultimately to death row. While I could not exactly identify with the protagonist's motivation to pursue the continuing relationship with her kidnapper, I was able to suspend disbelief and enjoyed the depth and nuanced characterization of the book. Characters were well-drawn and definitely not stereotypes.
"An uncommon mystery"
OK, the familiar basics are there: attractive teenage girl, overprotective father, lustful family friend, moneyed, powerful, and successful.
But this is where the archetypes end. The protagonist is a physician, a cynical general practitioner with a dissonant loathing for the human body; his remarks about office visits by the "typical" patient are filled with negative energy and his self-deprecation for not being "good enough" to sign on for four + more years of med school in order to specialize are recounted in detail.
Mix this up with a family vacation with his actor friend and his family, two beautiful (aren't they always?) daughters and there follows a series of potential disasters. Lots of near-nudity by the pool and at the beach, bikini bottoms that nearly fall off, body contact during casual ping-pong games and just general older man-teenage girl lust.
This novel would have seemed clichéed and overdone if it were not for the primary character's voice and dark vision of life, coupled with a vaguely-described precipitous event befalling one of the daughters. She has nothing to say about what actually happened and she continues her life "sadder but wiser" as the saying goes. We never find out just exactly what happened but we can all guess. The doctor's quest to find the perp after this summer seaside idyll dominates the rest of the story.
My only issue with this novel is the lack of geographical grounding. We know the doc is living and practicing somewhere in Holland but that's as far as it gets. The sense of place, with shops and restaurants, museums, scenery, architecture, weather, people-watching, etc. is missing, and there is no concept of a particular locale that could act as a backdrop for the action, if not be present as an additional character.
Narration is perfect, the voice very neutral but age-appropriate
This book does not follow any typical story line nor any customary resolution, and that's why it gets five stars.
"Not of "The Descendants" caliber"
I bought this book, preview unheard, because "The Descendants" is high on my list of faves.
But I found this novel to be nowhere near the quality of "The Descendants". Hemmings uses some of the same devices as in "The Descendants" but somehow they do not add up. Foremost amongst these is the presence of an unseen character who, because of death or coma, has a past but will have no future. In this case it is the protagonist's son, Cully, who has died in a snowboarding accident. I may be wrong on those details, but his presence is a character throughout the book, even though he is no longer available to actively participate in the story. Similar to the narrator's wife in "The Descendants" who is in a coma after a boating accident.
And, also, both novels are staged in a resort area, but the stories evolve from the perspective of a native.
There is also the background layer of heritage and family history.
But there the similarity ends.
I found this story to be lacking in focus and direction, and missing that sense of pace and movement towards a completion. The characters were rather limited and incompletely fleshed out, and I was always having to work to create in my mind a character's "look" and animus. I like a little bit of description, but here there wasn't enough.
The narrator sounded way younger than the main character would be at her stage in life.
So, if you are looking for a Kaui Hart Hemmings novel that's on a par with "The Descendants" you will have to wait until her next offering.
"Beautiful, tender, layered story"
Just one caveat here: in spite of my occasional frustration at the overused literary device of postponing for the reader a "big event" you know is coming, and filling in with meandering, anecdotal back stories, I loved this story and connected instantly with the issues facing that marginal generation of women who came of age in the 1960's. Torn between family and meaningful personal vocation, we all knew we should be doing something besides making dinner and babies, but what?? Yes, we were all college graduates, but that only seemed to complicate our situations.
However, that's simply the backdrop of this novel, which alternates between two time periods in the life of one woman, who finds herself caught up in a sensitive web of love, affection and commitment, through various breakups, re-starts, and her partner's escapes from a violent, controlling spouse. It's an at-the-time unconventional relationship that would sentence the participants to "disgrace", rejection and isolation from their peers.
I have become a T. Greenwood fan, and she is now my "go to" author when I have exhausted what's current from a Jodi Picoult or Elizabeth Berg, Sue Miller, and others in this genre.
I only have one minor bone to pick - at times I felt like a hostage, waiting for a key plot point to "happen", and wading through pages (minutes, hours) of not-so-interesting or relevant back story.
T. Greenwood is now on my short list. I've already read "The Hungry Season", which is a tighter, more compact family drama, and my review will come soon.
A full five stars!
Unlike other books by Julia Glass, this read meanders directionless, and is largely a series of short stories about family members through several generations.
I don't know the original publish date (or am not finding it when I try to look it up) but it reads like a first effort. The reader only has time to participate in one family's issues, only to be abruptly transported into the stories of another back story of the same family. Yes, they are all related genetically or in terms of extended family, but it's still a jarring transition, and it creates for me a negative animus toward the author, whom I have come to love, and whose books I always purchase without a preview.
Topping that off, the focus is generally on the male perspective, with very little nuanced insight.
I found myself really surprised by the characters' lack of introspection and continuous emotional blank slate.
I dislike when an author seems to declare through character development and story arc, "this is the main story" and then goes off on another tangent which in turn becomes the "main story". It's like getting off at the wrong bus stop, and it's all just too much. Perhaps this is a personal issue, having moved in my life many times geographically, but I ended up with emotional whiplash after reading this.
I did not think this read was nearly as "good" on many levels, as other books by this author.
But I am hopeful for more work from her.
"Not bad, not great, either..."
This one begins like they tell you how to run a marathon: start slow and get slower. And it's a hard call to rate a book that has so few parts for women. Mostly this book is about men and all their stuff - golf, drinking, farming, music gigs, coupling and uncoupling with various women who are only interesting as sexual partners.
Aren't there any female (or male, for that matter) editors who could have steered this book towards a more balanced perspective?
There were some good prose snippets, with good flow and musicality, but mostly this was a flat narrative. Not much happens, and character development? Not so much, I'm afraid.
It's all about men and how they go about populating their lives with accessories: farm equipment, kids, drinking, people, music.
I am not so much a fan of "plot" for its own sake, and I can just as easily enjoy a book that meanders through decent and layered psychobabble. However, without any interior landscape nor circumstantial forces that drive the characters, "Shotgun Lovesongs" doesn't have much to grab on to. Excellent title, though.
A smaller group of characters and their stories would have served to provide some fresh depth, and to give spark and nuance to the monochromatic scenes, and a few piercing insights here and there wouldn't have hurt, either.
We are well into the 2000's, and fiction still is all about who is hooking up with whom. Isn't there anything else to think about? To write about?
This was/is a strictly "read while you're doing something else" kind of book.
"Where's Wally?"
Having read, devoured and otherwise cerebrally ingested Wally Lamb's other books many times over, I was looking forward to "we are water".
I must first point out the book's central oxymoron. Two female protagonists are getting married. How hip with the times. One partner was raised with abuse and with no material nor cultural advantage, and I mean…zip, nada, zilch. She meets her partner by chance at a gallery and then becomes a kept woman. Well, she does supply the art for which her partner becomes wealthy, but how is this any different, except for the fact that the principals are the same gender - than the 1950's version of this same rescue story of a "woman in distress"?
Wally usually takes on highly ambiguous situations with a keen understanding and writes with skillful interpretation, with lots of elegant emotional and geographical description thrown in. However, I cannot say that "we are water" is up to Wally Lamb's standards - at least not as I have come to understand them. The obstacles to my enjoyment of this book are easy to enumerate as follows.
1) "we are water" is all about highly-educated, wealthy elitist characters with "first world" problems. There is a less-advantaged hispanic family thrown in for "diversity" I guess; someone's "help" brought along to assist with the logistics of a wedding, and wordsmith Wally deftly adds their little backstory as just more cumin in the curry.
2) The artist character gets her start by making little Joseph Cornell shadow boxes. I can say that nearly every book I've read where a female artist becomes successful she starts with little Joseph Cornell shadow boxes. Do writers just not know how to describe the visual arts and are incapable of giving the artists in their stories anything to create besides these (becoming trite) mini-scenes?
3) The female protagonists all talk with what I call Piping Rock Lockjaw. Those who've been raised in private schools and country clubs know what I mean. For simplicity's sake - let's just say they talk in that 1950's Hollywood-speak, sounding like Cary Grant and Deborah Kerr, but with drawn-out syllables to the "drama". I actually thought the first sentences read by the Anna character - pronounced "Ah-nah" - were part of a parody of snobspeak. Her first scenes were meandering thoughts on "Viveca"'s wedding dress. Just sounded like something out of "The Onion", or "Hyperbole and a Half".
4) I can't stand listening to George Guidall, who always brings to my mind a matronly picture of Dustin Hoffman in "Tootsie", wearing a wallpaper-like flowered dress, white gloves, and boxy, capacious purse carried on his/her forearm, sort of like Queen Elizabeth. Add to that the fact that Guidall can't seem to read more than three words without taking a breath and you get a barely endurable Guidall endurance-fest. Not my most pleasant listening experience.
5) The names of the characters are pretentious, snobbish, elitist and non-relateable. "Viveca"?? Really?. "Orion", with his constellation-of-stars reference? The pompous one-letter surname "O"??
I am being harsh, because the shallowness of all these factors derailed for me the devastating emotional issues with which this extended family grappled. And grappled successfully, I thought. The pay dirt is there and is pure Wally Lamb. But this book makes you dig your way through a lot of shallow sandboxes to get there.
"Elizabeth Berg: Always a Surprise"
Elizabeth Berg is one of those writers who explores just about all aspects of the human condition - and "condition" is the operative word, as in we are al here "conditionally" and must navigate our lives with attention and mindfulness.
Having said that, what happens is that you never quite know what you're getting when you sign on to a literary trip with Berg. I always think I know her, but am always jolted from my complacency.
After very recently finishing "The Day I Ate Whatever I Wanted" and being satiated with comic as well as tragic (or at least challenging) moments in life, any life, I have expanded my reading repertoire into the short story genre and was pleasantly surprised. Berg has a few substantial funny (if not downright slapstick) bones in her vision and deploys them well in this story collection.
But now, to my point - "Talk Before Sleep" could have been an inspiring exploration into the experience of the end of life; after all, loss is universal to us all, part of the admission price we pay to enter the planet and does not have to be a monochromatic plunge into sadness and despair. But instead I found the world portrayed in here in "Talk Before Sleep" to be narrow and sad.
But I will continue to seek out work by Elizabeth Berg, one of my favorite authors, and one of the few whose work I download without even having to listen to a sample.
"Perfect Meditation on Loss"
As the other reviewers have shared, this book is more of a contemplative exploration on grief and loss, than a story in the conventional sense. Harding's writing is elegant and throughly crafted with layers of detail, as he gradually progresses deeper and deeper into his own dark places, which match the dark woods near Enon, his home.
I would compare this to Joyce Carol Oates' treatment of grief in her book "A Widow's Story", which focuses more on the details and nuances of her daily life as does Harding, but her focus is more at a distance, as though she is an outsider, observing her own recovery, and recording her days as she experiences them. She certainly has plenty of "stuff" to fill her life - friends, family, a job at the top of her field, but even with all this, she is reduced to the same questions - now that the loved one is gone, what is life's meaning and how do we interpret its lessons?
Enon shows us how a a seemingly well-constructed life can implode by a single devastating loss, and how precarious are our attachments. One day it's all hanging together for Charlie, the next day his daughter is dead and his wife is gone. There certainly is no "resolution" in the conventional sense, not for this reader, anyway. I read the book twice and was twice led to the conclusion that Charlie had reached a conditional accommodation to his condition, was taking some steps to rebuild, but was certainly not yet emotionally solvent. Letting go of his dependency on prescription drugs was a start.
I applaud Harding for not turning Charlie's story into an archetypal "hero's quest" for redemption. Instead it's a realistic account of what's left to work with, and using that to restart, after all our life-sustaining resources seem to be gone.
"Disappointing and Shallow"
I grabbed this book as soon as I heard an interview with the author on NPR. Based on that, I wanted to read anything by Kate Christenson and thus I was expecting a much more introspective exploration of her life. What I got instead was an extended list of unexamined life experiences, rendered factually and sounding totally banal by the narrator's sing-song-y voice. Every event, situation, item in the physical environment was made to seem oh-so "precious", with unnecessary detail which after a few chapters became just tiresome. Perhaps in the hands of a less chirpy narrator, this book would have more heft and substance. But performed as is, "Blue Plate Special" is the new "Eat Pray Love", with the same shallow, self-referential descriptions that make it a picaresque pseudo-adventure for the privileged.
Actually, the "I", Kate, the narrator of this memoir is not nearly as interesting as her mother, with her multiple marriages, breakdowns, struggles and angst, and the listener only gets a random flash of her as background noise. Sometimes I kept reading just for the purpose of finding out more of what was going on with the mom in the story.
I can't say that this book is ruined by the narrator (although for me it was), or simply that IMO Tavia Gilbert's birdsong reading gives a shallow rendering to what might be an interesting life. Might read better in print.
I'll give it a "3", though, because it satisfies one of my basic standards of read-worthiness: it's entertaining.
"Shriver's Super-sized Best!"
Once again Shriver treads the tough path through the weeds and delivers a novel that is so overstuffed and super-sized with conflict that every sentence is a gift that leaves us waiting eagerly for the next one. WIthin the novel she deftly embeds the issues of fame & notoriety, the role of food in our lives, the relative importance of family and loyalty, the role of addiction and the "addictive personality" - she gives us all of it!
Shriver's protagonist, Pandora Hafdinarsen, the almost-accidental but successful entrepreneur is jolted out of her comfort zone when her brother, a jazz pianist who is having a "rough patch", arrives in their home weighing 240 pounds more than he did the last time she saw him. This causes all manner of mayhem, particularly offending the aesthetic sensibilities of her husband, Fletcher, who is a designer and builder of art furniture in the basement of the home he shares with Pandora and his two pre-adolescent children. He is additionally an exercise maniac, riding his bicycle 50 miles per day, and a "nutritional nazi", shunning all white flour, white sugar and anything that's wrapped, packaged or processed, his primary meal consisting of brown rice and broccoli. His body is lean and spare, the perfect contrast to the excessively over-nourished-by-junk-food Edison, Pandora's brother, for whom all sorts of spatial and emotional accommodations must be made as they all attempt to deal with his extreme girth.
This is the main plot setup, but woven through the story are musings about food (she's also a former caterer) and its importance (and lack thereof), addiction, fame, loyalty, and what it means to be "successful". Pandora feels divided between her husband and her brother and this forms the fulcrum on which the novel balances perfectly, delicately, and with the precision we've come to love and admire in Shriver's writing.
I have read some reviews on other sites and there seems to be some discussion about the ending. As a reader I favor neither a 'perfect' resolution nor an open-ended plot line - what makes a novel work for me is the writer's attention to detail, characterization, layers of emotion and sense of place. It's more about the story itself, the process, rather than any particular event that signals "the end", and with "Big Brother", IMO ending is organic to the story.
Five stars all around!

BALTIMORE (AP) - Baltimore police say there have been 24 shootings in the city so far this year, double the number there had been this time in 2012.
The most recent shootings occurred just before 11 a.m. Tuesday. A 17-year-old girl was fatally shot and a 19-year-old man was wounded as they sat in a pickup truck in an alley.
Police Commissioner Anthony Batts describes the violence as a "slight spike" and says the department is responding. He says he thinks he has the right strategy in place to combat Baltimore's stubborn violence.
There were 217 homicides in Baltimore in 2012, an increase of 20 from the previous year.
Police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi says investigators believe the shootings on Tuesday were drug-related.

As soon as the gravity of the struggle became known, an appeal was issued by the National Council of Labour to all affiliated organisations, and to the public, for funds to assist the victims of the civil war. The T.U.C. General Council started the subscription list with a donation of £1,000, and within a few weeks contributions amounting to over £12,000 were received from Trade Unions, Trades Councils, local Labour Parties, and individual sympathisers.
In addition, meetings were held in the United States, at which the President and the Secretary of the I.F.T.U. spoke, in order to raise help, the response being the highest ever obtain for that purpose in that country.
The monies received were placed at the disposal of the International Solidarity Fund, which is the joint Fund under the control of the I.F.T.U. and the L.S.I. There is a Spanish section, the members of which were appointed by the U.G.T. (Spanish T.U.C.), and specially appointed representatives of the two Internationals have been sent to Spain in order to consult with our Spanish comrades on the spot, and they are remaining there [to assist in the relief work, and] to help them in the organisation of relief work, distribution of clothing, etc. Ambulances have also been provided. Plans have been made for the establishment of a fully-equipped hospital on the Madrid front.
The funds provided are used for no other purposes than the relief of suffering and distress. No money is sent to the Spanish Government. Our efforts are guided solely by what the representatives of the International Solidarity Fund advise us as to the needs

Progress in increasing the size and academic profile of undergraduate students has been substantial. New organizational structures are contributing to improved retention rates and student success.
Owner: Vice President Marybeth Murphy
For this Year 1 priority, in Fall 2013, undergraduate enrollment exceeded its target of 2,626 by 65 students (143 students more than Fall 2012). A 3.6 percent growth in the size of the Fall 2013 freshmen and transfer student cohort (excluding the Link program) and improved retention rates for upper class students contributed to this success. Increased outreach, communications, visits and improved response time in the application process; leveraging ROI news; and greater faculty involvement in recruiting contributed to progress in this area.
Year 2: Refine strategy; develop financial aid strategy; targeted efforts for areas of growth; increase guidance counselor efforts.
For this Year 1 priority, Stevens exceeded its Year 1 selectivity goal. The objective was to admit no more than 40 percent of students who applied for admission for Fall 2013; the actual acceptance rate was 38 percent. The Fall 2013 middle 50 percent SAT target for enrolled students was 1220-1390. The actual middle 50 percent SAT of Fall 2013 freshmen was 1220-1380.
Year 2: Refine strategy; develop financial aid strategy to achieve enrollment goals; maintain selectivity ratio of 38 percent; increase median SAT score; increase CAL, Howe, out-of-state, women and underrepresented minority students in Fall 2014 cohort.
Owner: Provost George Korfiatis
This was a Year 1 priority. The target retention rate for Fall 2012 returning freshmen was 94 percent; the actual retention rate was 96 percent. The target six-year graduation rate for the Fall 2007 cohort of students was 80 percent; the actual six-year graduation rate for this cohort was 79 percent. A new organizational structure, under a Vice Provost for Academics, was created. A student success strategy has been developed and is being implemented, including monitoring at-risk students, progress toward graduation, student support centers, improved advising/mentoring, and a revamped Calculus course.
Year 2: Build the Office of the Vice Provost for Academics and develop/refine a comprehensive student success strategy. Achieve first-year retention rate of 96 percent and six-year graduation rate of 81 percent.
Owner: Provost George Korfiatis + Faculty Senate
While this was a Year 1 priority, minimal progress has been made in this area. This will be a focus in Year 2.
Year 2: Assemble team to define C++ learning experiences and non-traditional learning opportunities; assess student outcomes.
This is a Year 3 priority. 94 percent of the Class of 2012 secured post-graduation outcomes as of Nov. 1, 2012; 94 percent of the Class of 2013 secured post-graduation outcomes as of Nov. 1, 2013. Activities included aggressive recruitment of new employers. In 2013, the largest career fair was held since the 2007 recession.
Year 2: Continued expansion of employer network.
A Year 2 priority, planning is already underway with initial concepts being developed and five patents and disclosures to date.
Year 2: Continue planning.
Activities toward this Year 1 priority include developing and deploying centralized student evaluation reports by school/program/faculty, and establishing a podcast studio to create learning artifacts (including live streaming from classroom) which has been used by more than 10 programs to date.
Year 2: Develop a cohesive and integrated plan, including policies, incentives, recognition/rewards, training/support and assessment/feedback for improved teaching and learning.

Hi. I get a number of Task Alerts a day. Sometimes, I would like to pick only a few of them to "Dismiss". However, my only choice at the bottom of the screen is "Dismiss All". It would work like the Complete and Postpone features. If you click the checkbox it would say "Dismiss (1)" and so on.

Have you seen Simon?
You might not have met him in person, but there's a pretty good chance you've seen him on Facebook.
Kai Hagen and his family lost Simon, their dog, on Jan. 19 in the woods of the Catoctin Mountains near Thurmont. Desperate to find the beloved pet, Hagen, a former county commissioner, posted Simon's photo on his Facebook page Jan. 21.
Since then, Simon's original photo has received more than 2,600 shares, and subsequent posts have been shared hundreds of times -- an outpouring of support Hagen never expected when he posted the news of Simon's disappearance.
"People have just been amazing," Hagen said in a telephone interview Friday.
One of the Hagens' supporters is Wendy Bauerlien of Dogs Finding Dogs, a rescue team.
Bauerlien searched the woods for Simon with her bloodhound, Trusty.
Their search was fruitless, but Hagen has not given up. He contacted nearby animal shelters, including Frederick County Animal Control, which is where he adopted Simon four years ago.
"We fell in love with him right away," Hagen said, noting Simon's playfulness and friendliness.
Simon was adopted after another family pet died, and his disappearance has left the Hagens heartbroken. They also own two cats, Kitty and Gwen, named after Queen Guinevere of King Arthur's court, Hagen said.
Simon's name was chosen by Animal Control, but the family decided not to change it.
"We liked Simon and we kept the name," Hagen said.
The dog is half hound and "half something else." He has a muscular build and weighs between 75 and 80 pounds, according to a poster Hagen has added to his Facebook page.
Hagen is offering a $500 reward for the return of Simon, who was last seen wearing a blue collar with brown polka dots and dog tags.
After all the sharing of Hagen's posts about Simon, his friend Valerie Dale set up a "Simon Needs to Come Home!" Facebook page. The page was started Saturday, and by late afternoon, almost 200 people had joined it.

The Location: Atelier de la Villette, a former Paris tram repair shed near the outskirts of Paris in 20th arrondissement, in an area that is very up and coming (but proved a bit of a shock for the fash pack who never normally do double figures).
The People: The regular at all the major shows, birthday girl Dita von Teese, and French Vogue editor Carine Roitfeld and her most precious accessory daughter Julia Restoin-Roitfeld.
The Music: Eliza's song from the Wild Swan Suite by the Australian composer Elena Kats-Chernin. More commonly known as the Lloyds TSB advert. Saying that, the best thing was the disco remix that greeted Galliano as he came out to do his usual catwalk (in a workman boiler suit and cap).
The Fashion: Inspired by Regency cartoonist James Gillray, the mood was completely over the top with oversized Napoleonic style hats, immense mop caps à la Little Miss Muffet and feathered bear skins on Madame de Pompadour hairdos - all by the fabulous milliner Stephen Jones. But the clothes were more tamed than you¹d expect from Galliano. No bias cut, trousers or shorts in sight. Instead, the focus was on dresses, blouses and skirts in ice cream colours and water colour floral prints, in fluid chiffon. Our favourites were the aqua silk slinky short dress with gathered bustier top and the mint green collarless four-button coat with outsized bishop sleeves and massive cut-out detail platform strappy sandals.
The Verdict: A girl's dream. You wanted to wear everything. It was so commercial that the fashion buyers from Harvey Nichols and Harrods almost had pound notes flashing in their eyes.

Squier brings you the welcome return of a long-vanished Fender classic in the deeply satisfying form of the Vintage Modified Bass VI six-string bass. The original model of 1961-1975 has provided distinctively voiced low end for everyone from the Beatles to the Black Keys, Cream to the Cure, and many others.
The Vintage Modified Bass VI delivers authentically vintage-style look and tone, with a few modern touches such as a comfortable "modern C" neck profile and 9.5" fingerboard radius (the originals were 7.25"), and three custom Jaguar single-coil pickups with notched "claw" shielding rings (reverse-wound/reverse-polarity middle pickup).
Other features include the model's classic 30" scale (standard tuning one octave lower than a guitar), maple neck, bound rosewood fingerboard with 21 medium jumbo frets and pearloid block inlays, four two-position slider switches (on/off switch for each pickup and one bass-cut "strangle" tone circuit switch), tortoiseshell pickguard (three-ply white-black-white on Black model), two black plastic control knobs (master volume, master tone), and vintage-style six-saddle bridge with non-locking floating vibrato. Available in Black, Olympic White and Three-color Sunburst.

A while back I was looking for a Bass that was a bit more versatile than the Jazz bass I own. My style is a mixture of many, and mostly I use a fingerpick "Banjo" style with my right hand. This lead to some issues with the four string Jazz Bass. I was looking for a five string, and passed up quite a few made by other well known names at various prices. Then, along came the Squier VI. As far as comparison to the more expensive Fender branded Bass VI, I prefer this Squier version for the choke circuit. Plus, fingerpicking Banjo style as I do is much easier, and i have discovered that after owning and playing this bass for a few months, my hands are going faster on the fretboard as well as picking. As far as the sound, I can go from a punchy low range, to a more bass twang as heard in some of the 60's Country Music that featured a six string bass. Would I buy this Bass again? Most definitely, but Im glad I have the one I do. Thank you who ever had the Idea to reproduce these fine instruments.

I went to guitar center and saw this in the middle of a Fender Display in the center of the store. Plugged into a Hot Rod Deluxe. The setup was really good off the stand, i think the tech set it up for display. Every pickup had it's own voicing and the strangle switch was a perfect addition. I had planned on buying the Pawn Shop Fender version in the future. Both felt pretty comparable to each. I didn't like the strat switch on the Pawn Shop version and it didn't "Twang" as well. The guy at the store said the Squier Versions last a day or 2 then sell, the Pawn Shop one sat there. Both were great but for my ear and the vintage vibe I had to go with the Squier. My guitar is Sunburst. I have 19 Fenders and Squiers and no Sunbursts in any of them, just not my color. This little guy grabbed me and begged me to take him home. The color has grown on me the last few hours.
The fit feel and finish do not fit the price range, this doesn't look feel or play and sound like a budget instrument. Reminds me of my first bass a MIJ 1987 Squier that is on the same stand as the Bass VI.
I absolutely LOVE this instrument. The grain pattern on the neck and body is really nice, excellent fretwork, I have the action as low as my telecasters.
I highly recommend this instrument and It's all over my Facebook Page. I love it and you knocked the ball out of the park on this one. LOVE IT

Taken a while to get hold of this, out of stock at all the usual dealers but finally snagged one from GAK. Olympic white, what a beauty!
First impressions, can't believe how good it looks for so little money.
On closer inspection you can see where corners have been cut, the fit of the neck in the pocket isn't perfect and the paintwork there looks a little messy. The nut is made from some soft grey material, looks like chewing gum, not very well cut and will be the first thing to be changed after the strings.
Ah, the strings. If there's one thing to stop this guitar achieveing its' potential out of the box it's the standard strings fitted. I want to use this as a bass but the strings just aren't up to it, too light from E to E. Tuned an octave below as a bass it wouldn't hold tune on the low E and the intonation was sharp on the E, A & D and not enough adjustment on the bridge to deal with it. Fitted some LaBella custom size nickel wound and reversed the bridge as recommended on various forums. BIG improvement! It now intonates perfectly and stays in tune. Loving it!
I may have started out slightly negative about this guitar but it is a thing of beauty and doesn't need that much work to make it perfectly acceptable as a bass. More I play it the more I think it's the bargain of the year, go get yourself one and have some low-end fun :)

Been wanting one of these ever since I learned that Jack Bruce used one on the first two Cream albums but could never afford a vintage or a Custom Shop model. Saw this in a Guitar Center advertisement and knew I had to get it!
Nigel's Fender VI (Spinal Tap - DONT LOOK AT IT!!!) recently went for $35,000 on Ebay. A Custom Shop Fender VI goes for around $3,500. For $350, there is no excuse NOT to get one and as one guy said, you will not be afraid to use and abuse it as it was intended! Go ahead and get it! The wife will forgive you.....eventually!!
I called the Guitar Center and one store in Houston had one. I'd like to think I am the first person in town to get one up but someone brought one to a jam a few days prior so perhaps I am the second?
Took one out of the store and straight to a gig I was playing that night. Played a couple of jam tunes with my band then started noticing some issues with dead spots on the fretboard so I set it aside and played my regular bass the rest of the night. It is the same issues everyone else here is talking about - really crappy setup and Guitar Center never does anything with the guitars before putting them out. Made some tweaks and took it our again the following night. Better but still have a bit of work to do!
Killer tone and great looks. GET ONE! Just make sure you get it to a competent tech to have it properly set up!

When I saw Squier released a version of the classic Bass VI, I was thrilled. And it's everything I hoped it would be, the sound, the feel, the look...the "oh cool" looks from people. But...there's just one little problem, and it has to do with....STRINGS!!!
It's listed as a 30" scale, but I can't get strings to fit right. The string gauges listed for the bass were not what they said. I have a hard time finding strings for this bass, and I also need to find some flats for it...but the only ones I see are from LaBella and they are quite pricey indeed. If anyone knows of others, let us ALL know please

I am totally impressed by the performance of this piece! Way to go Fender in finally bringing back one of the coolest instruments to have ever been discontinued! The VMBVI pickups sound great, you put good hardware on it, nice detail installing the neck binding, and the switching is perfect.
In my opinion, the ONLY mistake made with the VMBVI, is the lack of flatwound strings! I'm stringing my Bass VI with a set of LaBella 767-6F Stainless Steel Flat Wound strings, which are the exact strings Fender used in the 1960s. You can hear Grady Martin playing them on "Don't Worry About Me" by Marty Robbins. Pure vintage.

I bought saw this bass/guitar/whatever this magnificent beast is at a local guitar shop (so it was probably already mostly set up), and the odd design intrigued me, so I took it off the wall and fell in love almost instantly. I only had one problem that I couldn't get around, and one of the staff at the shop told me what I needed to do to fix it. Out of the box, it's semi unplayable, but after destringing and turning the bridge around, everything was different. It was like a whole new instrument. Much darker tone and a lot easier on my right hand, picked or not. I'd much rather own this homage to the origin than the Pawn Shop because of the price, and the Bass Strangle. the strangle switch sold it for me. I didn't understand it or how I'd use it, but I adored it for some odd reason. I've never known a bass to pull the low end out.
My band has even decided to give the bassist the limelight on a few songs because of the new capabilities I have with this instrument, playing full chords and echoing through the auditorium. The smooth sound of a C7 chord an octave low is the closest I'll probably ever come to a state of total nirvana.

Very nice instrument that let you explore areas of sound that you cannot reach with a normal guitar or bass. It opens great possibilities. Also it is true that is very nice if you are a guitar player.
There are two bad points from my point of view:
1-The non-locking vibrato, but this feature I knew in advance that it was going to be a problem if you play too much with the vibrato, so I don't really complain.
2- Other instruments you can play them out of the box. In my case, this was impossible because of the bridge. Very bad set the intonation. Impossible to have the higher notes in tune so I had to change a couple of screws from the saddles to be able to have the higher notes of the neck in tune. You can always ask a luthier to do this for you.
It has inspired me to write a new song based on this very particular instrument :-)
So over all I am very happy and I recommend it. I think it is a very nice instrument.

I love this instrument. A unique sound and gloriously appointed, and so affordable!
The narrow string spacing takes some getting used to for bassists, but don't be deterred. Every bassist- and guitarist, for that matter- needs one of these.

I have always dreamt of owning one of these V1 basses since I saw one in a Fender catalog back in 1996 but never thought I'd be able to afford one until now.
With a decent set up the bass is outstanding all round and ticks all the boxes for me.
Though a period style hard case would be nice....
Erm when are you bringing hockey stick neck 12 string out - that would be my dream 12 string.....
Yes I have played Rickenbacker and Epiphone live for over ten years on stage and in the studio - but now this Vintage range has made me switch over.
Do you do band endorsements?
Cheers, Jay.

Had never heard of the Bass VI until this re-issue but looked into it and found it was a must have! Both me (guitar player) and bass player use it depending on the song and need. Often our bassist uses it to play bass lines but during solos etc., she can play chords to fill out the rhythm section (we are a 3 piece so need a lot of integration to fill out our sound).
I can't believe how cheap this thing is! It's cheaper than my Squier Jaguars, it's insane really. In reality this is an 8/10 instrument. It's finish and quality is outstanding (check out those fret block inlays - better than some Gibsons costing 4 figures!) Sure there are a few flaws - the bridge is total rubbish and Squier are giving out false info on the string sizes (it's an .085 E, not the heavier gauge it suggests). But seriously buy a Stay-trem heavy bridge, swap for better strings and maybe switch in custom Jag pickups and it's better than a custom shop model. I also got a gold brushed metal scratchplate made for bling factor - now it's a crazy beautiful hybrid sound machine.

Wow! I am sooo excited! I wanted to own a BASS VI for years and I could not afford the exorbitant prices on the second-hand market. When the Pawn shop version came out I was slightly disappointed, as they took away the famous "bass strangle switch," which to me is an essential part of the charm of this beautiful instrument. It lets you switch this beautiful beast from deep, growling bass to a deeply-voiced GUITAR sound, and it being tuned E to e you can either play it as a bass or as a deep-tuned guitar. This instrument lets you choose what voicing you need and I found myself recording some demos with both bass and guitars standing by, tuned and ready for recording, yet I found myself playing ALL of the tracks on the BASS VI! If you are playing the bass line and suddenly have a great idea for a guitar track, you won't even have to put this instrument down to get another one, just flick the "strangle" switch and go on playing. I have wanted this one for years, and now that I actually have one, I see how right I was all the time! It is an indispensable oddity and absolutely has great punch as a bass as well as a guitar...you will find yourself playing endless & "tic-tac" basslines in country and rockabilly styles, add some spring reverb and you will find yourself in surf heaven or just simply confuse people by playing basslines and adding "impossibly high-pitched" notes or even chords and watch bass players scratch their heads when they hear your music! This necessary oddity is finally available again at a really great price, affordable for nearly everyone. GET THIS INSTRUMENT! Trust me, you will find yourself playing endless hours discovering the rich tonalities this instrument covers, much wider in spectrum than a regular bass ever could, much deeper and tonally more dense and intricate than any guitar can deliver, a MUST-HAVE! Thanks to everyone at FENDER and SQUIER for making this dream come true and giving a new generation of musicians the means to discover it!

I was fortunate enough this past year to acquire a new Fender Bass VI from Japan. Needless to say, for the money it is a beautiful, well-crafted instrument with an amazing sound. But after waiting my entire life to get a Bass VI, I wasn't too anxious to chance damaging it by taking it a lot of places. So when I saw the Squier version two months later, I knew I wanted one as a "player" so I wouldn't have to worry so much about road wear and tear.
After a five-month wait since ordering it, I finally got my Squier Bass VI. I certainly had plenty of time to read reviews from people who had managed to get their hands on one, and I was wary of a few of the issues that were echoed in some reviews.
I will concur that out of the box, the setup needs a lot of work. Intonation and fret buzz had to be addressed. Another common problem mentioned in a lot of the reviews I read was that of the rough finish of the nut. Mine was no exception unfortunately, as the nut definitely needed a clean-up, but at least the string grooves were cut straight. Other than those two fixable problems, this is a very nice instrument for the money. The three-tone sunburst finish looks great. The neck with its block inlays and bound fretboard is not only good looking, but feels very comfortable with its modern profile. The electronics and hardware are more than adequate in value and performance. Sound-wise the bottom end is somewhat comparable to a Jazz Bass, and for a short-scale bass, that is pretty fair, to say the least. The famous "tic-tac" sound is easily obtainable as well with some pick-up switching. And with two more strings than a regular bass the sonic possibilities become even more interesting.
If you've ever wanted to own a Bass VI, and one that is fairly close to the original model of the sixties and seventies, this is a very reasonably priced and more than passable version of that classic. I've owned just about every Fender bass model ever made, but nothing else is like a Bass VI.
TaleOfTheTiger owns this item
The SVMBVI is a blast to play. The neck feels great and contoured body is very comfortable. This thing sounds awesome. A lot of tone possibilities from the three pickup design. The stock strings are much too light. I've switched mine out to 95s and it sounds a lot better. The bridge is the main design flaw. Very hard to intonate the low E. Other than that, this thing rocks. Buy it if you can find one!

You can't beat it. It's beautiful, fun, and WAY affordable! While I've been working on a project, I realized I needed the type of voice that this guitar has and man, it fits the bill. BUY IT!!!!
redpolkadotbuddy owns this item
I'm so happy for the new Squier Bass VI, I've bought a few days ago, it's a very nice guitar, and in my opinion not much difference with some high cost bass VI guitars in the world!
about the gauge strings on this Squier VI...the informations say: .025 - .095...but this is not correct...in fact the strings I've found are D'Addario .024 - .084 like in modern production of Fender Bass VI included US Custom Shop, Japanese and Pawn Shop Mexican models...but is not a big problem, I will replace the E low string(too "floppy" for me)with a single string for bass D'Addario .090......a good compromise, I think.
anyway, I'm really satisfied, an excellent product and very good price
Best Regards

Aggravated Surfaces
Master watercolourist Warren Hoyano presents his contemporary version of this historic medium by revealing the underworld of shadows, stains, marks, and abstract traces from the quotidian. The artist's inventive technique is a substractive process in which pigment is applied and then water is used to
mimic the natural processes of erosion and aging. Deliberate and accidental effects are exposed in a similar refrain of the patterns of daily life.
The result is delicate wash-like passages that rest beside dark, opaque areas. The feeling of time and process are evident in the work as light
and dark seem to float, while scale and illusion shapeshift in a Rorschach inkblot guessing game.

Toronto/Krakow based Mark Filipiuk interconnects imagery with digital, brush and collage techniques. The photograhic
based works attempts to locate a typology of human personalities. On steel panels are multiple composites of adolescent
youth in the institutional setting of a high school as the literary subject matter. The portraits are created with in-camera
editing and post production digital techniques. The haunting and sparse images on metal plates are imbued with a psychological
charge informed by Filipiuk's 25 year career as an educator and observer of what Nirvana, singer and songwriter Kurt Cobain
titled "Teen Spirit." At first the works appear as a mimicry of paint, but the work rooted in photography — seeks to reflect
a merge of drawing, painting and digital based collage.

Forest Core
Maria Albulet's work radiates a sense of control, maintaining a constant and consistent abstract image-field. This characterizes her as a
contemporary generation of abstract expressionist quietly informed by Joan Mitchell, Philip Guston, and Lila Lewis Irving. Bold colour
blocks of red and black conceptually form as opposed forces accentuating the stillness of a wooded thicket, suggesting that a forest
is a complex living entity of perfected harmony and universal balance. Mississauga based Albulet applies colour in methodical, short, hatch-like
strokes in her paintings. "I love the challenge of visual texture and detail." The monochormatic colour fields resonate and seem to control
the viewer's mind with the infinite and ongoing evolution of depth and wonder of the forest.

Lost in the Memory Place: Janet Cardiff & George Bures Miller
The multimedia artworks of Janet Cardiff and George Bures Miller emphasize aural and visual experiences that transport the viewer to other realms of consciousness. Their work is highly scripted, meticulously detailed and often cinematic in scope, breaking down distinctions between fiction and everyday reality. Through various levels of engagement, the viewer becomes a participant, either witnessing a phenomenon or becoming immersed in a scenario and vitally activating it.
Janet Cardiff began collaborating with fellow Canadian artist and partner George Bures Miller in 1995. When Cardiff and Miller represented Canada at the 49th Venice Biennale with Paradise Institute (2001), they won both La Biennale di Venezia Special Award and the Benesse Prize, which recognizes artists who "break new artistic ground with an experimental and pioneering spirit." They are now among the foremost artists of their generation, and their work has been shown around the world.

The Classic Vibe Stratocaster® '50s provides unmistakable '50s-era Fender® vibe and tone.

Custom staggered polepieces provide improved string-to-string balance. This versatile guitar is now available in a left-handed model.

As a lefty, it's tough to find a decent looking, sounding and feeling guitar without breaking the bank. But Fender comes through in their usual great fashion with this guitar.
When I started playing electric guitar not long ago, I was not a fan of maple fretboards at all. They felt kind of sticky to me at first. I have an MIM Strat with a rosewood fretboard which I really enjoy playing. But I eventually broke down and got the CV Telecaster and gave it an honest shot, After all, what guitar collection is complete without a Tele? They're just awesome guitars!
I have to admit I'm a maple fretboard fan now! The glossiness of the fretboard on the maple finish actually makes it easier to slide between frets & to do bends. And this strat is no exception. The finish on the fretboard (and the whole guitar) is beautiful! And it's really light! It's much lighter than the CV Tele and my MIM Strat. The aged white knobs and pickups add a touch of vintage class to this baby!
The sound is pretty good also. The vintage coil pickups provide vibrant, flexible tones as most strats do. I don't particularly care for the bridge only pickup (switch position #5). It's way too twangy and tinty in my opinion, but that could be the amp I'm playing it through. Other than that, I have no complaints about the tone coming from this guitar.
The only thing I have to complain about is the pick guard. When I got my guitar today and peeled the plastic coating off the pick guard, the CV sticker that comes on it left the pick guard discolored. So you can see where the sticker was on the pick guard because it's a brighter white than the rest of it. So I guess I'll have to replace it. Other than that, it's a good pick guard.
All in all, I'm very happy with this guitar. It has everything I'm looking for in a strat and the price is very reasonable. With time, I think this one might just replace my MIM strat…we'll see about that.

Time-of-use (TOU) pricing might seem like the ultimate solution to ensure electric vehicle charging loads won't overburden the grid. But will TOU rates guide drivers' behavior when it's time to...
Vintage, Voltage or Votes
AEP rekindles debate over grid pricing, but should the outcome hinge on majority rule?
that cost shifts from postage-stamp pricing could undermine RTO participation and spark defections. That's why the smart money will bet on FERC to bow to majority rule and reject the AEP complaint.
Yet, as Ohio's McNamee asked, "Since when is rate-making a popularity contest?"
Regional Battlegrounds
For little G&T cooperative Buckeye Power Inc., license-plate pricing has proved a disaster, and things are getting worse.
Headquartered in Columbus, Ohio, Buckeye supplies wholesale power (some from its own generating plants) to its 25 member electric distribution retail cooperatives. Those retail co-ops serve some 360,000 residential, commercial and industrial retail electric customers, residing in parts of 77 of Ohio's 88 counties, with a combined load of about 4.06 MW.
License-plate pricing hurts Buckeye Power for multiple reasons, as consultant J. Bertram Solomon (GDS Associates) points out in testimony filed with FERC in the AEP complaint case (see "Comments of Buckeye Power, Inc.," FERC Docket No. EL07-101, filed Oct. 29, 2007) .
First, most of Buckeye's proprietary gen resources are connected directly to AEP's transmission system within PJM, so Buckeye, just like AEP's native load, must help fund AEP's legacy EHV grid system through the payment of license-plate rates.
Second, those license-plate rates have ballooned recently. That's because AEP lost about $150 million in annual revenue support (its own numbers) when FERC eliminated the regional T&O rates AEP used to charge for transmission service on off-system sales of surplus power. The revenues were gone for good when FERC let the temporary SECA surcharge run out on a sunset date of March 31, 2006.
That forced AEP's license-plate rates to climb further, by about 50 percent, from about $1.08/kW-month, to the current network zonal service charge of about $1.76/kW-month.
All this has produced a transmission bill for Buckeye and its member co-ops of about $22.5 million per year, or more than 60 percent higher than $13.8 million in license-plate grid rates than Buckeye would have paid otherwise.
Buckeye's fate stands to worsen, in fact, as it also faces the dreaded "double whammy" that comes from FERC's approval of postage-stamp pricing in Opinion 494 for lines 500-kV and up in PJM.
Thus, in future years, as PJM utilities "play catch-up" by building more EHV 500-kV and 765-kV lines to facilitate Midwest power exports to the power-starved New Jersey and Baltimore/Washington areas in the East, and assigns those costs across the entire region, some costs will fall on Buckeye. Yet Buckeye still must help fund AEP's legacy EHV grid network, under license-plate pricing, without any cost support from other regions.
(By the way, of the 68-cent increase in AEP's grid charge per kilowatt-month, about 13.5 cents came from AEP's much-touted recent completion of its trouble-plagued and long-delayed $300 million 765-kV Wyoming to Jackson's Ferry transmission line in Southwest Virginia. With FERC Chairman Joseph Kelliher and U.S. Rep. Joe Barton (Tex.) in attendance at its May 2006 dedication, that line became energized on June 20, 2006. Planned way back in 1990, the line cannot qualify as a "new" facility. Thus, under PJM rules, it remains captive to license-plate pricing.)
