I'm finally graduating to a real bass guitar.
-
Don't know anything about it. It looks cool. What's special about it?
-
Those are sweet basses man. I've been looking to get a bass lately (i sold my old bass rig a while back) because i just like having one around. I sold my old bass rig to fund my pedal steel. What kind of bass amp do you have? If you say ampeg, i'll be jealous as all hell ;D
-
The Fender you bought a while back was cool. How much you pay for the Ernie Ball? Have you tried G&L?
-
lol... i have an ampeg 450 watt and a hartke 250 watt.
also a hartke 4x12 and an ampeg 1x15. i kinda rotate them out.
the musicman bass is incredible. it's used by flea, RATM, ACDC, and a million other bands. the sound is just sick. i didn't see the need in spending 1300 on a bass. It didn't feel all that different when I played with it. But thru my bass stack with a full band last night in a dive of a bar, and I understood. I sounded like a CD, to be honest. Clear as day, sustain for days, perfect tone, and it just felt good in the chest.

Yeah, sounds like you've got a pretty sweet setup... i'll buy a bass again one of these days. right now i am borrowing my buddies ibanez for some recording, and it sounds pretty good, but has too much "oomph" and not enough clarity. I'm not a great bassist by any means, but i know what i like and those musicmans are sweet. At a buddies gig a while back, he broke a string on his bass and the band that had just played tossed him up their bassists bass, which was a musicman, and it was night and day. Such a clearer, fuller and richer sound.
A buddy of mine has been playing his pedal steel thru an ampeg 1 x 15 bass amp lately (dunno the wattage, but its high) and it sounds clear as a bell, clean headroom for days. Ampegs are great amps for everything it would seem... every play one of their reverb rockets?
-
that is a sweet bass. I need a new one I was thinking about a musicman or a warwick corvette. I have played both not sure which one I want to go with though.
-
gig with it yet?
-
yep, been playing it for 2 weeks...
"Play that funky music white boy" sounds better than the record. slap and pop. I got a book on slapping and have been practicing every day.

looks like someone loves their new axe
-
she's gorgeous... expensive... $1350 :(
But I can see why people spend so much on a guitar. I've played on $400 junk basses my whole life. This thing plays like a wet dream.

explain to me the four pots going on there for 1 pup? I'm guessing volume, tone, blend and... master volume?
