CygnusX-1Bk2 Posted September 17, 2004 Share Posted September 17, 2004 (edited) Hey gang! Here's the place to discuss all thing bass (moan). Basses: Cream Fender Jazz (Mexican) Best $200 I ever spent! I replaced the original white pickguard with a tortoise shell one. Cream Rickenbacker 4001 Amps: For recording I use my guitar POD with either a 2 x 12 cabinet model or a 4 x 10 cabinet model. I also have a really old Standel solid state amp from the 60s which was rescued from the garbage. I had another one that belonged to my dad, but that one died and I wanted to replace it. The rescued amp sounds pretty damn good for being old and crappy. It's a 1 x 15 combo that's like 4 feet tall. A reall pain in the ass to move. When I play with my Rush tribute band I play through my guitarist's bass rig which is a really nice GK head through a 2 x 10 cabinet with a tweeter and a 1 x 15 cabinet. Nice actually, though not mine. Edited September 17, 2004 by CygnusX-1Bk2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave G Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 Carvin 4-string I had custom made out of unfinished American Walnut. I got the active model but I don't use the onboard EQ at all. I basically just run into an ART Dual MP preamp and from there straight into Pro Tools. I have a fairly consistent chain of Waves plugins I've settled into to get the sound I want at this point. When the new CD is done and it's time to start doing some gigging in support of it, I've been thinking it would be cool to snag a 5-string Steinberger (going for that "hi-tech" look don't ya know, LOL...plus it would get in my way less while I'm playing keys). The original 5-string Steinbergers don't seem to be very easy to find, though. Ditto with the Trans-Trem models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonraker Posted October 11, 2004 Share Posted October 11, 2004 My bass has just gone from dinged category to the busted and bruised but playable category (worthless) category just now. That white bit at the top of the neck that seperates the neck from the head just cracked a bit at the G string and now my G string is pressed up against the first fret. Cannot play an open G Maybe its finally time for that new bass I should have bought years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Led Boots Posted October 22, 2004 Share Posted October 22, 2004 Mexican Fender P Bass Peavey MAX 160 head Yorkville 300 watt speaker Not the best combo anyone's come up with, but i'ts working for now. I really want to get an Ampeg sometime, and some nice effects too. -Led Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolema Posted November 15, 2004 Share Posted November 15, 2004 I just started playing Bass, so I haven't the best equipment ever. I play an Epiphone Embassy Standard 4-strings. My amplifier is a Morgan Bass Amp, not the best sound, but I've been playing live with it, and I play The Pass with it, so it works fine for me. It's my first bass, and I hope that some time in the future I can afford to buy a Fender Jazzbass. I payed about $400 for the set; guitar and amp.

Billy Jack Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 My rig is a Fender Jazz bass and an Olympic bass. A trace elliot head with 8- 10". I don't use any effects other than a pre amp and an eq. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Umm, in the first month, I started to pick up a scratch and pop from my electronics, so I thought it was one of "those" basses. But I brought it to my local shop, and whoever soddered the electronics did it horribly, so after that quick fix, it's now fantastic. I would definately recommend it, but get it from a dealer under warranty, so you don't have to pay for stupid things like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
