I bet the amp will sound better than the plastic though. |

The B15N didn't sound that much better than the B100R, and the maintenance and repair costs on the older one made my choice of the newer one a no-brainer.

Nice setup! Mine is exactly the same.
I finally bought a real bass and amp after years of a junker since I am mainly a guitar guy. After seeing your gear pic I felt like I should register and act like a bass player. Is that a reissue or an actual vintage P? Mine is a AVRI 62.
I will post a pic when I get back from the holidays. Quote:

That's my 1973 Fender P-Bass. It's all original except for the nut. Great bass in every way! Quote:

Genuine classics! | Yeah its ~60lbs. It's pretty much parked in its spot and only getting used as a practice amp so the weight is really not an issue for me.
I just needed something that wasn't super loud even on a low setting like my Ampeg SVT and GK 800RB through my Berg NV610 or Accugroove Whappo Jr.
This little guy does get pretty loud for what it is, but I'll never have to lug it out anywhere. |

Any thoughts? |

The most recent one still has the plastic and I just could not let it stay at the store. I can't wait to use them both on a gig, for now it's nice to always have one here to practice on and the other is my main gig amp.
That pic with the old P is awesome. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
