    Compulsive hoarder seeking opinion

    I thought I was over the top with 5 Peaveys. A Dyna Bass 4, Dyna Bass 5, Custom 5 Cirrus w/Bubinga top, a USA Millennium Plus 5 Tiger Strip, and a USA Cirrus Bolt On Walnut top. As for the 4 or 5 string, to me it depends a lot on what type music you play. Most of my playing is at church for...

    Fender-Deluxe-Active-Jazz-V-Bass

    Update Auction ended without notice, did not get a chance to bid. Went to my local music store, played an American Standard which is a 34" scale, and really felt a little jammed up. You wouldn't think 1" would make that much difference. Tried a Millennium and liked the sound. After all, this...

    Fender-Deluxe-Active-Jazz-V-Bass

    I have a 5 now, and have often said, if I didn't have a five, I would string my 4 BEAD. Love that low B for contemporary Christian. You know how it is. I own 3 bases, but my son the youth minister has 2 of them and I've got "new-bass-itis". So, I thought I'd try a Jazz and play with that...

    Fender-Deluxe-Active-Jazz-V-Bass

    Good evening, I read a lot on this forum, but now it's time for me to ask some questions. I play in our Praise Band at church, a Peavey Custom 5 string Cirrus. I suppose it's considered a P Bass. I've been wanting to experiment and try a J bass, and have been reading a lot on here and...

    Choice of amps

    Oh!! I forgot the best part. Since I gave my combo to my son, I don't have a practice amp anymore. I tried a Fender Rumble 25 which was price at $149, and for a little fellow, it had an awesome sound. When he brought one out of stock, "Good News, It's on SALE for $99. I had a Goooooooood...

    Well.......... I either got the deal of the century or took a huge gamble, only time will tell. We vacationed for a couple of days in the Smokies and ended up at Guitar Center in Knoxville this afternoon. I played some Little Mark III's, some GK's, Fender, Acoustic, and a used Peavey Tour 450...

    I just watched a video on the Ashdown web site on the 420 Head and the 210 Cab and WOW, what a versatile head. Jazz, slap and sythe sounds all from one head.

    Choice of amps

    There are dozens of threads on here about favorites or "the best" this or that, but I'll ask anyway. Basscooker.......... what do YOU like in that price range? I'll be in Knoxville this weekend so I might be able to shop a little. Our local shops are quite limited. And no, I haven't had the...

    I fill the low end for an otherwise semi pro level Praise Band at church. I would say I play bass but I don't think I'm there yet. I've played acoustic bass for years but I'm still learning the electric. During services, my bass is run through the PA system but we play some outside concerts. I...
