Anybody using a bass rig completely NON US or UK?

[Avezzano]

Big share of electric axes/amps/effects until some twenty years ago were either US or British made. Things change and in a global world, as in the thread title: anybody using a NON US or Brit rig?

I mean: Squier still is a Fender spinoff, so even if your Squier bass is made in Korea, it still is a US based design/product. So no to Squier. Therefore: NO to Fender/Gibson/Ric/Marshall/Peavey/Ashdown/Schroeder etc......

Example: anybody using exclusively something like

Warwick bass
Glockenklang combo
Yamaha compressor

or

Vigier bass
A.T.S. amp
Markbass speakers
Ibanez flanger

etc.....

[hachi kid]

Warmoth/SWR + Avatar cab/Ampeg VT-22/Tech21 Leeds......nope....

[Biggbass]

Premise is broken from the get-go.

Unless you are playing on and through antiques, just about everything made today has at least some parts sourced through Asia.

I understand your "US design" paradigm. However, using that as a benchmark, my SX jazz 5 through an Eden E300T are both US based designs, yet both are manufactured in China.

Based on your premise, a Chang Jiang motorcycle is only non US because it's copied from a German design (BMW R100).

Based on this I find the original premise as close to a brick as a box of sand.

[Avezzano]

come on, man: lighten up! We all know VEEEERY well that it is a totally interconnected world and that into, say, a Markbass head maybe 95% of the components are made in China or Korea!

Just talking about the brands: no scientific hair splitting here. Just talking brands...

P.S.: SX and EDEN do not qualify, even if completely made in China, then... and a Chang Jiang motorcycle is only non US because it's not an Us (or UK) brand.

Don't you please talk like my wife....

MARKBASS BABY!

[Avezzano]

Guy man: even if your rig is excellent (deep envy for your axes collection!), you still have a "half breed" US/ITA whole rig (meant from "fingers" to the "ears")!!!!

[nukes_da_bass]

Oh ok so you are looking for people that have status basses through Marshall etc...

Probably more prevalent outside the USA where American branded products are extremely expensive!

[Avezzano]

yes, you got the point right! Btw: Marshall does not apply since an UK product: no US or UK!

[caligula]

German built basses from Boerjes and Le Fay, EBS compressor and other EBS pedals (~10 years old), German built FMC cabinets, I used to play Dutch built Hevos cabs.
My main amp is American, Aggie DB 750.
I haven't seen/heard any other amp that sounds like that, otherwise I probably would be all non US/UK.
But it just happened that way, nothing really planed.

[Avezzano]

pics of your whole rig, if you have it on hand?

Non-US or UK basses: two Yamaha BB's, two Ken Rose (Taiwanese, I think), Höfner, Hohner

US basses: Epiphone TB and SX P

Non-US rigs: Tech combo with Conrad speakers, Madamp Pre + img Power rig, with...

US and UK cabs: two Hartke, one Marshall

US amps: two Hartke combos, one Peavey amp

Cheap and mixed, I'd say.

TC Electronic RH450 and RS210

Nothing US in my rig at all.
A UK made poweramp though and strings.

[bootsox]

I don't have a single amp not made in the United States, and very few of my basses were made anywhere else.

[Ender_rpm]

Amp wise, I have Swedish and Italian. Basses, I do have a Yamaha, but my main is a G&L, so nope
