Hey, that's my amp! Well, I have the same model, that is. And it is, bar none, the best I've ever had. The 4 8" versions are pretty uncommon, I believe. That sound I was always looking for, finally found. All hail, B2!

And yet, NO-ONE wants a road worn girlfriend, real or fake.... Actually, I think Ford should try this - Road Weary Mustang. faded and scratched paint, couple dents, missing hubcap, cracked platic dash and a few burns in the seat. $3000 optional package. I have a 60-odd year old upright...

"Lowrider" was my gateway drug...so I gotta give props to BB Dickerson. After that came Larry Graham, Bootsy, Flea, Duck, George Porter, Robbie Shakespeare, Family Man...and on and on

Anyone remember Faster Pussycat? pure silly-ness, but it was fun... Can't think of the bassist name tho (not sure if I ever knew, come to think of it)

If I had a Hair tribute act, I'd call it David Coverband.

Long ago back in the day there was a G'n'R tribute band called Runs in yer Hoses. And this from the Simpsons: Becky (to Otto): You got Poison to play at our wedding!? Lead Singer: We're CYANIDE, A loving tribute to Poison! Drummer: We need a ride home!

OP: Sounds like early-onset musicians' mid-life crisis. I should know, you sound like me when I was 26. I'm 38 now, and you will be too before you know it. Here's what I have learned: You can waste a lot of time regretting what you haven't done, instead of doing what you need to do. I firmly...

If I were you, just keep on with the Epi, and keep your eyes peeled for a good deal on SG...and be on the lookout for one of those Elitist Epi EB-3s, they were really well done.

I gotta agree with Pilgrim, sounds like you already have the bass you want. That said: I have the Gibson SG, and I do love it. So much so I got rid of my other basses. Compared to the Epi, it has (to me) a better feel, and a higher level of quality. Couple of big differences off the top - you...

^^^Again I should note the straplocks save the day each time, and it really is not that common an occurance...

Yeah, hard to describe, I wish I could draw a picture...180 deg sorta desribes it. Maybe "folded" is more accurate...likely depends on the strap, I use a pretty wide one. And I loop my cable thru too...

I'm feeling sorta obligated to endorse the local music stores who put up me...

Hmmm...one idea. Sometimes, after the guitar has been on the stand and then you pick it back up and strap on, the strap end would be flipped, the strap itself with a twist. (know what I mean? It's kinda hard to explain...) point is the straplock would upside down...happens to me every now and...

Oh, and Suzi Quatro.
