Out of all my rack stuff that I'm going to keep. Besides it has a hum buzz in one channel I need to get looked at.

Yes neck. I was about half asleep when I posted that.

I've done a bit with stereo basses and the sound to me is worth the expense. Most of what I used for amplification were tube preamps or a rack mixer with EQ's and a stereo power amp with my pair SWR Goliaths. I did like most do and set the bridge pick up for lows or a good clean tone and the...

Still waiting for a new home.

Ampeg sold. Alembic still available

I'll throw my opinion in for what it's worth. I use Rotosound RS66LF's exclusively. Mainly because I can't find a string that sound like a good set of Roto's. That being said I occasionally get a set that does have a dullness to them but it's rare. They don't last forever and they are hard on...

Still available.

They're pretty much quaking in the sheppard's knee high boots.

Ah yes the good old days. Weird old amps and funky crap instruments. Kids today have it too easy.
