I definitely blame Talkbass for my GAS. Since I started reading here, my amp/cab changed from a cheap & used GK setup to a Genz-Benz head and a Bergantino cab. My Fender got replaced with an Alleva Coppolo. The TB classifieds are so very evil.

Pretty much this. Though Myung has had to deal with Petrucci who always took more than his fair share of the mix. He's never had the forefront like Geddy had years ago. Alex's sound never really took up much space in the mix until around Counterparts. After that, Geddy has kind of taken more...

It's like a train wreck, I can't stop looking. I'm kind of curious how it sounds too...

If it's good enough for Beefcake the Mighty, it's good enough for me. Invalid Link Removed

This is a pic from tommixx but I recently aquired his BK signature, just been too busy playing it to take my own picture and get #. :bassist: I just want to cry tears of joy when I play it. :):bawl::)

Anybody who can be a snob about a Valenti obviously hasn't seen somebody playing a frottoir vest! :p

Something like this maybe? :D

You don't hear much about Saga, but I do have a bunch of their albums. While I like all of their albums, besides Worlds Apart, Behavior and Heads or Tales are all packed with great songs imo.

One redeeming quality about having a GC close by is their 30 day money back returns. I've used it to try out a lot of basses/amps for the 30 days and returned them later. It's a good way to really test drive something and then if you like it, pick it up used later. :p

IMO, Keep the Bongo. If you really do love it, you'll probably regret trading it later on down the road. Find a used MIM P or J here on TB or on craigslist for cheap. Nothing wrong with owning a Bongo and a P or a J (or both) at the same time. Pull out whatever weapon is appropriate at...

If it's good music, it's good music regardless if you use a P-bass, a J-bass or a Z-bass (if you have to ask, you can't afford it). Last time I went to a concert, the bass player wasn't using a P, he was using some kind of Washburn. Also everybody else in the band was singing but him (even the...

I've always been attracted to high end instruments. Exotic bodies, gorgeous fretboard artwork, although ironically never liked gold hardware much. I guess it's not popular to say but I like expensive instruments. I would spend as much as I thought it was worth, sometimes you have to pay for...

Invalid Link Removed JR Beck bass bought from a guy here in Austin. If you live in Austin and frequent craigslist you have probably heard of (or visited) the guy who has a ton of left over guitars from a business that went south. I'll never sell it because nobody else wants it. :p

I love rack setups and building my own right now. Interesting that you mention you like the distortion on the JMP-1, I just started poking around for a good rack distoration for my rig. I'll have to keep my eye out for one of those pop up somewhere used. :ninja: BTW, is Geddy's son the...

:eek: :bawl: Missed it by .... that much. Congrats Asher! :bassist:
