Thanks Thor! I think someone said this cab is about 60ish lbs, it's really bulky, but fits in my car fine. Losing about 20lbs and a bit of depth would be lovely. Price is certainly a consideration, but considering that gigging is about half my income, it may be worth spending the extra so that I...

Like the sound of my GK head, is there a pre-amp input on the GK combo? Edit: I see there is not on the head version. Just to reiterate, like my head (HAH), just want a lighter cab. :)

Hi folks, long time since I've posted, maybe someone will remember the killer deal I got a few years ago: the 1x15 GK brat pack combo (EDIT: not a combo, sorry, it's a head and cab) (BP250) for $100. I replaced the stock speaker with a 400wt Carvin. Still love it, but I'm beginning to hate...

A bit late, but that's a cover of a cover of a cover. :D - Original, by Gloria Jones, recently (well, 2003) part of the GTA San Andreas soundtrack. Always wanted to play this version. Noticed "New Orleans is Sinking" a few posts back; people still play that? In light of Katrina I mean...

Nope, played guitar for 20 years. Did some bass stuff in between, but I'm trying to make more of a full go at it this time around. I feel a bit "bored" with guitar these days, and there seems to be more of a call around here for good bassists that can sing. The score writing for my web series...

BUMP. Because the tunes kick booty. And MA sounds faboo. Actually, the whole band is grooving. Joe's soloing reminds me of some of his not-so-wanky "Blue Dream" stuff. LOVE.IT. :hyper::hyper::hyper::hyper::hyper:

Indeed! I remember seeing that WOB here in my research a bit before you posted to my thread. And it seems that the econo-instruments these days are much better quality than what we had to choose from back in the 80s-90s. @kickstand: That Smith is purdy. Actually, most all of these in this...

Expertly crappy relic job? I thought I read that "gouge" was shipping damage anyway. Is he still peddling it a relic? :confused:

Lose the Indispensable part, so it's just SOLD. "Sad Over Lost Desirables." I like RATS myself though too... Hmmm. "I'm feeling pretty SOLD today." Or, "Gawd, I've got bad RATS." Actually, that sounds more like a vermin issue. :D

Although I don't have anything else to compare it to, I JUST got the Blue Douglas WOB826 ($179US+shipping), and I freaking love it. Plan on a new set of strings though; the stock string are total junk. I use D'Addario Half Wounds ($38US - Lights, .130-.30) and the B in plenty tight on this 34"...

Thanks dabbler! JUST got the new strings in. There was a horrible buzz on the second fret (all strings) on the stock set, so I anticipated having to adjust the truss rods. Nope, other than filing the "B" slot open a bit (D'Adarrio Half Wounds - .130-.30), and re-glue the nut, everything now...

I almost feel "ghetto" with all these lovely instruments. :D But here's mah new baby: Douglas WOB826

Ok, got it, aside from the poopy strings that came with it (my half rounds and case are arriving tomorrow), I HEART THIS BASS. What was really weird was pulling it out of the packaging and being slightly (maybe more) intimidated by the neck. But I put it on and man oh man, I can TOTALLY see the...

I have always been a HUGE fan of his playing. As for underrated players, he is probably at the top of the list.

I don't think he's over-rated, but I personally (read: me) don't think he's "all that" either. Just MODO though. I DO think he was miles better than Newstead though. :)
