A'reet, here's my in...my Epi T-Bird, got it in November of 2010 and have been playing it pretty much exclusivley for every gig I'ven played since! I had my geetar player/tech supremem add a three way switch in place of the neck volume control...I like being able to jump from p-up to p-up on...
...is my Douglas WOB-826, purchased for $185 from RondoMusic.com! Damned if it doesn't play realy nice though...it's my first foray into the world of SIX, and I dig it!
Guess that makes me #88...Oaklyn, Camden County, South Central Jersey! I'm also in the hollow body club, the Japanese bass club, and I think the SX club (I have a Douglas 6 string and a Brice 5 string from RondoMusic.com, they qualify me, right?)!
Mine's pretty self explanitory...it's also been my screen name from waaaaaaaaaaaaaay back in the AOL days! But, for those that can't seem to get it, I AM a jammin' fool!
Currently, I'm using three basses as my main axes. My number one is a Brice HBX-405 5 string...which is interchangable with my Jay Turser semi hollow 4 string. My current backup is my Douglas WOB-826 six string, simply because it's such a beast to play, and I need a lighter axe to do my thing...
I know this is the SX Club, but I have a Douglas WOB-826 six string (transparent blue over ash, with gold hardware and black p'ups...sweet) that I got about six months ago, and I just got a Brice HBX-405 five string with the satin bubinga capped ash body, and all black hardware. Do I qualify as...
The real question isn't "should you tune in a weird tuning to accomodate the band", it's "how much do you really like what this band is playing, and are you willing to try something new and strange to accomodate them"? I've never been in a band that needed anything lower than the low B, so...
I just got myself a Brice HXB-405 5 string with the satin finished ash body with bubinga cap (delivered on Wednesday, already gigged with it Saturday night). While I am not in a position to own a $1500+ axe, I have had the pleasure to play them in the past, which does give me a standard to...
I posted this one in the hollow body club, but it belongs here too! It's definitely Japanese, from the 60's, but other than the "Japan" engraved on the neck plate and "Adjustable Truss" on the truss rod cover, there's nothing to identify this wonderful axe. It was originally bought by a...
Haven't tried that particular bass, but I *did* get one of the Douglas six string beasts...it's an awesome bass, at any price! The fact that I only paid $185 makes it even better! I'd say go for it, Rondo is a great dealer and you will be pleasantly surprised with the way it plays and sounds...
