My sweet 79. Refinished in 2015. J pup added 1985. EMG pups in 93. Funk-uh-licious. ALWAYS flatwounds.

Fortunately, even over 50 I still look pretty decent in shorts… for a heat index above 90 degrees, outdoor show… in this shot, I think right before this song, the male singer asked me, “Man ! Why you wearing shorts!?!” As you see, the IDGAF look stayed on my face through the entire song ! : -...

ABSOLUTELY A YES X 2 Bi-Amping 4/10 and 1/18 You can not get this sound out of a “light-weight” set up. Everyone loves to FEEL the bass on stage. If there aren’t antiquate side-fills or monitor mix capabilities - bring out the umph ! Small clubs..? Just d.i. Into the PA & have a good sound...

You’re too kind. Thank You.

Sure is a LOT of production going on to sound “underproduced and raw” Kind of reminds me of what happens to a majority of bands when they become “main stream”.

Very cool !

Thanks !

Is that a Travis Bean bass in your pic?

Thank You

Hi Everyone. 44 years on EB and recently (about 5 years ago) endeavoring into upright bass. Good to be here. Poking in a few snaps of my current basses and one of several amp set ups used here in N. Texas.
