    Ibanez Upright Bass

    I now need to throw in my thoughts: being a bass player semi pro since more than 40 years, I decided to pull the trigger mid-last year. Never regret the purchase, in fact it has been my to-go bass for my Zydeco band since then. Love the mwwaah, it gave to me, also during the week it is standing...

    Right, its time to introduce my baby, one of a kind. Its originally a TMB100, but I do really like those block inlays. Voila, here she is.

    The "I'm Happy With My Amp" Thread

    I'm quite happy with my Hartke LH500 and my GK Neo212. This thing give me a lot of punch and growl I need for my blues band. Once it gets loud, I simply add my Hartke VX115, this will give me a lot of punch and power I might need
