Thanks for the replies everyone! I’m certainly not trying to tempt fate or anything and possibly damage the amp. I’ve always just matched the cab to whatever the amp says and gotten on with it. I’m going to have to run to the practice space and check the ohms on that sunn cab because I’ve been...

Hey everyone, forgive the thread but I’ve been searching for a clear answer online and haven’t found exactly what I’m looking for. So the amp I use is a Darkglass Microtubes 500v2 which has a minimum load rating of 3ohms. I’m curious if I’d be able to run two cabs at a combined 2.6ohms without...

That jackson is killer!!

Autocorrect has ridiculed me again

Ric would be my choice. I love both basses but i find myself listing after rice constantly. One of these days I’ll fork over the cash and be happy

How do you like that aluminum neck? I’m a huge fan of Travis Bean’s designs and love the EGC stuff by Kevin Burkett. I emailed them awhile back to get a quote for a P/J neck and it wasn’t a terrible price but life happens and I ended up not being able to buy one. I’ve not tried any basses with...

I realize it’s not exactly the same model but I’d imagine the one local to you is an affordable version of the same shape/pickup layout. All the Fernandes basses I’ve tried have been pretty solid for the money so I’d definitely reccomend you check it out if you’re wanting a 5 string, JJ pickup...

Here’s a link showing his Fernandez models -- Robert Trujillo Equipment --

I believe Robert Trujillo from Metallica/Infectious Grooves/Suicidal Tendencies plays that model on occasion. I know he recorded the 2008 Metallica album with one of them and has at least two in his live rotation.

That is a fantastic looking bass!

Sounds like a cool opportunity to me! I once played a gig in the middle of winter in one of those white, tent canopy things at the base of Alyeska. I don’t remember being too cold to play but I suppose that was a high energy band so the blood was flowing pretty good haha. I can suggest...

Both of the basses you’re looking at would be great to start with and there is plenty of examples out there of either being used in a punk/post punk/goth setting. Joe Lally from Fugazi famously plays a sting ray so that could be an attractant for your partner and maybe they would be more...

I dig this so much!!

If I had to pick three it would be Paul Jackson, Bernard Edwards and Chuck Rainey. Obligatory Jaco/Jamerson is obligatory

So I’m looking around for different pickups to swap out my vmod II for. I’ve got an am pro II p bass and although it does sound great, it’s not exactly hitting all the marks for me so I’d like to try a different pickup. What I’m looking for is the sort of classic p bass sound, I very much...
