    The best way to look like an idiot on stage

    I saw a guy "stand up" his Precision bass on a high stool one time, to play a Stray Cats tune.

    NAD Late 50's Ampeg "Bassamp"

    Yes. I have a V4 with reverb, but it's "parked" right now. It always sounded excellent with a 4 x 10." You can actually get a pretty close tic tac sound, if you try playing with a pick, foam-muffled strings, and reverb on about 3.

    NAD Late 50's Ampeg "Bassamp"

    My SVT days, I think are over, and even PICTURES of a V4 look heavy to me! I have a '64 B15N, that I've used for recording, or playing without a drummer, but I think it's retired. I'm currently using a '69 B25 top, and a 4 x 10" HE box, with a '69 Telecaster Bass. Where does the V2 fit in? Is it...

    NAD Late 50's Ampeg "Bassamp"

    That amp was waiting for you for two years. While others scrambled around trying to get enough cash together, karma decided it was long enough for you to wait, weather you knew it or not. Hopefully, this will be one of those once in a lifetime Ampeg purchases, that help ease the bad memories of...

    Ampeg bassamp. What is this?

    Believe it or not, on some earlier Amegs, the "N" was for new.

    Fender American Thin Skin Roasted Telecaster Bass

    I'm not sure about ******** in the harmful sense. Maybe guys who's moms don't let them out enough.

    Are we still talking about bases?

    Tube watts vs Solid State watts

    OK. Before I go to bed, what's the difference between a Fuller 13 spd overdrive, and a 15 speed with deep reduction? Shouldn't the 15 speed be better on the highway, because it has more gears? Sorry. I promise to stop the nonsense tomorrow, and get back to bass stuff, as soon as the sun comes up.

    Ever been afraid for your life at a gig?

    No one should face the possibility of violence, while on the job. Any job. When I was a kid, I was left on my own to somehow survive. I did, and can now spot trouble of any flavor,from 500 miles away. I've been told by bouncers that I have the "I've seen all the trouble I will ever need to see...

    Take good care of your hands!

    With the exception of the multis, and glucosamine, could you please give us a general run down of these supplements, not necessarily their brand names, but their common names, and possibly the main active ingredient(s) of each product, and what they may act upon? Thanks,

    Tube watts vs Solid State watts

    Tube and transistor amps amplify power, two totally different ways. They are different amplifiers. I'm not sure how much juice you'd need to squeeze out of a solid state amp, to roughly match 100 watts of tube output. I know an Ampeg V4 with four-6550's rated at 100+ watts and a 4 x 10", has...

    Take good care of your hands!

    If you stop playing completely, roughly how long until you can resume playing bass again, after a bout of tendonitis? The only time I've ever had it, was playing constantly for ten days, trying to learn 35 songs. I let it alone for about two weeks, and it came around. That was over five years ago.
