Gear ready to roll...
• '13 Squier VM Jazz Bass w/GHS light flats, otherwise stock
• Mesa/Boogie Walkabout12
• SWR Headlite
Gear needing some TLC...
•'03 Music Man Stingray (electronics has become VERY noisy)
•Yorkville XM400 (needs rebuild now due to idiot bandmate)
- Favorite Genres:
- Blues, Motown, Classic Rock, Hard Rock, Metal. Never cared for listening to it much but country is fun to play. 90+% of jazz continues to elude me lol.
- Gigs and Ensembles:
- The A-Holes, Capo
- Previously Owned Gear:
-
•"Cozart" knockoff US$70 P-bass (known as "the plank" cause the neck was super fat, kinda wish I still had it now)
•Yorkville XS50 (sounded kind of dull but it was my first amp with the above P with cheapie electronics)
•Fender Bassman 25 (surprisingly good for a tiny amp & better than the Yorkville)
•Ibanez SR300 (spongewood special that every damn fastener stripped or came lose in, good player, no tone)
•Traynor YBA200-1 w/TX1510 Cab that I should never had sold but divorce happens lol
- G.A.S. List:
-
•First and formost, the most economical way to get a decent P-Bass. Looking at one of the new Fender American Professionals in white but I'd love to get something along the lines of a Fender '57 Reissue however I'm left handed and there's very little lefty love at Fender. It's very hard to find a maple boarded lefty P that doesn't break the bank. The Squier VM Jazz I have is the only maple boarded Squier or Fender I've seen produced new since I started playing bass in 2004 and they just ceased production on that one so it's a good thing that I got it when I did lol.
•Some nice 4 ohm speaker cabs. One 1x10" (ie BareFaced One 10, Eden EX110 or TN110 for home and smaller situations, iow most of the time), and one 2 or 4 speaker cab for jams and gigs (looking at Eden EX410 & EX410SC4 cabs) - open to suggestions/recommendations
•A compressor - once again open for feedback
•MXR Bass Fuzz/OD
•Another big tube amp like a Mesa 400, Ampeg SVT or Traynor YBA200/300. Maybe a Fender T-100.
•Silly aspirations of a fretless and eventually, an upright.
