I learned guitar first and started bass about a year later. I have always kept up with guitar however. I love the playing rhythm and getting different "beats" while playing. I can play lead but not stuff like SRV. Because of the way I have learned, playing guitar, then bass, it would seem it...

One of the guitar players had an old Fender with a 15 inch speaker with a microphone input. I bought a bass and showed up and plugged in that amp, it also had a guitar and I think and a 2 Microphones plugged in it. Then we had a small 4 piece drum and the other guitar player had a small amp. I...

I always liked this one

I was in a Trio back in the day and I played bass and sang and the guitar player played and sang. However on some songs I knew the lead guitar part better than him so I would play lead guitar and sing and he would play bass and sing. We live in different states now but keep up with each other...

I have always bought new. I enjoy looking and figuring out what I want. I don't impulse buy and check everything out many times. I often change my mind and do not buy what I have been researching. However when I finally decide I am very happy with my purchase and tend to keep it for years and...

Nice looking and sounding bass. Enjoy.

Nice Bass. Nice Case.

Nice looking bass. Enjoy.

Personally when learning something I listen to the song, look at tab, then watch a live performance if available, sometimes a "lesson" on YouTube and then make up my own mind and take pieces of what I think sounds good. I had to learn about 80 songs and learned about 10 "easier one" first just...

I posted this on 02/28/2015 "I called Ampeg tech support today to ask that question. He said that they had a bad batch a few years ago, maybe 50 units or so. He explained it this way....the amp threshold is to keep the amp from blowing up so it cuts off. In that bad batch it did what it was...
