I agree Spade2you, I was just responding to Bassbenj's earlier comment that I neglected to quote.

I personally don't think you need a stable of basses to keep people interested in you. If that's the case, perhaps they are more interested in your gear than you... and that's a problem. If that same crusty guy who plays the same crusty licks shows up with a new amp and bass, what's going to...

I find the more basses I have the more I want, and the less happy I am with the ones I have. How many of you out there are happy with just 1 or 2 basses, and why?

CapnSev is right, you will definitely need a setup. It's actually really easy to do yourself, just pick up a cheap bass (if you can afford it) and experiment. Sometimes I love flats on my P, but other times I really long for that roundwound crunch that I've only ever got out of a Precision....

I learned to play and sing by starting out with songs that were really easy to play on bass... Back In The USSR, Breakup Song, etc etc. Basically just steady 8th notes. That allows you to focus on the vocal because, let's be honest, most people don't care about the bassline near as much as they...

Woops... Nj4's. Nevermind.

Actually.... you might want to find out which Nordstrands are in that JB2. Couple of options, could make a big difference. I installed the humbucking NJ4SV's in my jazz.

It's actually LeftyBassist.com. great site for us lefties.

Markbass! I love their tilt-back 2-10 combo (CMD102P). Find one used and add a 2-10 traveller. I'm extremely pleased with the versatility and portability of this setup....

like it or not you might have to do a little digging....

You wouldn't happen to be looking at that green JB2 on that 'other' bass forum would you?

You found 2 lefty G&L's for cheap? Buy them both! Just speaking from a fellow lefty's perspective, haha. Seriously though, I just picked up a used L2000 about a month ago and love it. I'd go for the L2500 personally, but if you prefer a thin jazz neck, this isn't the bass for you. Even the 4...

I gig and practice with a Markbass CMD102P... that's the 2-10 tilt back combo with the built in LMII head. It works fantastic for me; never any volume/headroom issues. I can't believe that 300 watts isn't enough for you in a practice setting, regardless of speaker size. Try tilting it...

what a beauty, and it's a lefty... wish I had the money!

This one is sold!
