    Poll for gigging bassists: How many basses do you own…

    NS crm5.Plays great,huge sound,but not like an acoustic bass. I don’t know if anyone(the crowd)would notice the sound except bassists. It stayed home after I got the RobAllen.But it always got attention and people remembered us because of it(and our music).

    Poll for gigging bassists: How many basses do you own…

    Sold the Triggs archtop 6 string…just too huge. P’s for raucous rock, RobAllen for gypsy jazz, the 62 reissue gets a lot of time,brown URB for bluegrass. The ‘71 fretless, RobAllen and Guild were purchased new.

    Fender Bassman buzz

    Check the front speaker gasket for looseness or delamination. I have a Carvin 2x10 that drove me nuts with a buzz until I found this. Little bit of glue solved it. Years ago I had Hartke 15 that I sold because I couldn’t find the buzz.
