Doesn't anyone remember Cactus? Tim Bogert was such an animalistic player on those albums. If you've never heard these guys, you owe it to yourself as a bassist to check out Tim's work.

Sometimes they're better muted.

Big + 1 for Andy Frasier. Tons of great lines for rock bass.

I've been playing in bands for quite a few years and I can hold a groove. I like to move around the fret board a bit and even solo occassionally. I had a guy come up to me after a gig recently and say, " You don't move around much." I told him, " I move what needs movin'." I don't consider...

As for classic lines Born Under A Bad Sign Rock Me Baby (Johnny Winter) All Right Now Slow Ride Ramble On Too Rolling Stoned Just to mention a few.

I'm gonna throw this in because I rarely see these guys mentioned. Go on itunes and check out The Sun Is Shining by Cactus. Tim Bogert really tears it up. Great rock bass sound. If that's too "bluesy" for you look into Evil by the same band. Get it all. You won't be sorry if you're into rock...

Geezer Butler and Tim Bogert, especially from his days with Cactus. I think Tim had the best sound. Just heavy and really great runs, but he could hold in when he had to. Geezer is just an animal.

Thank you bongo. I wasn't sure how varying wattages play out, but it makes sense the way you explained it. I was thinking of going back to a 410 and 215 arrangement I had before. Those cabs match ohms and watts. Thanks again.

Oh, yeah. We do it with our pa equipment, too. It looks much neater.

I have a 500 watt 4x10 @ 8 ohms cab and a 200 watt 18+2x10 @ 4 ohms cab. Can I run this combo through a Peavey Nitrobass 450? It puts out 450 watts @ 2 ohms and i've got 2.667 ohms, if my math is right. Is there a possibility of damaging the 200 watt cab? The DDT protection light doesn't come on...

I have been playing music all of my life and now have tinnitus. It is hard to describe to someone who doesn't have it what it is like. There is ringing in my ears all of the time. My left is worse than my right. Last year i went to an audioloist and spent the 150 bucks for custom plugs. I got 15...

This is my 1999 American Standard. I installed Seymor Duncan 1/4 Pounders for a little something different. This sweetheart really thumps through my Nitrobass 450. Can I get an amen brothers and sisters? And a number?

I'm from Milwaukee and play with The Eddy Weber Band. Recently lost our drummer to a lack of good anti-psychotic medication:crying: and are rehearsing with the new guy.

I'm not sure if he's been mentioned, but Tim Bogert from his work with Cactus and Beck, Bogert, and Appice. If you've never heard them, look on itunes. What a monster sound. Just pounding.

Yes, bongomania, I am in the market for a short scale. I can swing around a grand, maybe a little more. I am kind of new here and I haven't checked the other threads. But I will now. Thanks for the tip.
