This is my first rig - a Peavey TNT 130 BW and a MIJ Precision Bass - I added the tortoise shell pickguard... Note: These are not photos of my actual rig - I went out and found em...  
I was lucky enough to have a teacher who found the bass and recommended the amp. I am still using the Black Widow from this amp today in my Franken Cab!
Oh, the good old days... Can any of your other old-timers post images of your first rig?
Pic don't have to be the actual rig you owned...

I traded my p-bass (plus a fist full-o-cash) for a Ric 4001 
However, it was nowhere near as nice as this one - and as I recall, the nut actually moved when you pushed on it! But I HAD TO HAVE A RIC, RIGHT? 
See if you can find pics for you first rigs...

not the best pic, but pretty much what mine looked like, before it got ravished, and mine had a maple fretboard. I wash I had post-ravish pictures, it was quite sad to see a bass that mangled...

Fender BXR 15 [15 watts]
I still have both of these. The Fender is strung as a piccolo and the BXR 15 sees a bit of playing time when i'm in Lafayette.
I don't plan on getting rid of either of these any time soon.

This was it, only my bass was black and the amp was a Rogue instead of a Drive. Man did that thing sound horrible. Soon after getting that I started cutting lawns to make money to get a better bass and amp.

A Peavey TNT130 BW and a bass that looked like your precision - same colour even - except it was a no-namer. It cost £40, was very tatty and head heavy, but it got me through the first stages.
I'm very happy to have moved on...

| | | | My first rig was Hondo through a TNT 130. Still have the TNT 130. Traded in the Hondo a few months later for a Peavey Foundation (still have). Bought a Hamer Cruisebass (still have). Bought a used Acoustic 470 head and a 406 cab. Sold those when I stopped playing. Started playing again and bought a used Acoustic 320 off of e-bay and Avatar 1x15 and 4x10 cabs. Just bought a Music Man Stingray with 2 humbuckers. (Love it) | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
