oh please please don't cancel the SVT-VR at least until I can afford to buy one.

always in the back of my mind is the bass player for the successful years of Supertramp Dougie Thomson.

Ross Valory of Journey. Listen to his bass on the first three albums (pre Steve Perry). Not crazy about his tone but his playing was phenomenal. honorable mention: Will Turpin of Collective Soul Dirk Lance of early Incubus

Let me bring another long dead thread back to life: Geddy Lee- of course Billy Sheehan- hometown hero, I've seen him in bars way too many times to count Chris Squire R.I.P- of course Will Turpin of Collective Soul- very underrated player John Wetton R.I.P- listen to King Crimson USA...

I've had it in both ears for about 10 years (f'n drummers' cymbals!!) It sounds like locusts in the trees in late summer but constant. Presently I can tune it out but I have definitely noticed that I have some hearing loss as my wife constantly reminds me. If I get into another loud band I will...

another old thread to revive!! Forgive me I'm a newer member and still finding all of these great threads. starting in the late 70's: Sears Silvertone amp(ugh) Sold to buy a used Ampeg SVT blueline and Ampeg cabinet with an 18" Gauss speaker that was blown- replaced with an EV 18" speaker...

When I purchased my first Ged bass back in 1999 I was also playing a Jazz Bass Plus with Lace Sensor active pickups. I loved the sound of the Geddy bass but it needed more output to be closer to my other bass since I had to switch basses on the fly with little or no time to play with amp levels...

yes I am new to this site and I have a lot of catching up to do.

I know this is an old thread. I had the same issue with my late 90's SVP Pro. After it warmed up it would start crackling and popping occasionally to the point that I thought I might blow a speaker. I took it into a friend of mine that repairs Crown amps and such. He resoldered all of the...

Time to bring this thread back from the dead zone. I'm sure that I, like everyone that gigs regularly has embarrassing moments. But my most memorable happened about 10 years ago. My band was playing at a popular rock club in a Buffalo NY suburb. The place was jam packed, people were squeezed...

I just sold a black Steinberger XP bass I bought it in 1986. I gigged with it for a few years then it sat in my studio forever. I finally had to part with it as well as my Steinberger Q bass. The Q bass had a nice thin neck but the XP had a big blocky neck. Once I started playing Fender Jazz...

A few years ago I bought a Music Man Stingray HH 5 string in beautiful black cherry sunburst. I tried for a couple of years to love that bass but I never could comfortable with the neck. I ended selling it for very close to what I paid for it.

in the late 70's I had purchased a Fender Bassman 4X12" cabinet with the angled speakers and an early 70's vintage Ampeg SVT blueline. The two sounded great together.... I have never been able to duplicate that tone. Long story short, the Ampeg head was stolen at a bar so I purchased the Bassman...

Playing through a thoughtful moment apparently. My bar rig (normally 200-500 people). Crown Power Bass 2 Ampeg SVP Pro preamp Trace Elliot (backup preamp) DBX crossover Alesis 3630 dual compressor Alesis Midiverb IV (effects) SWR Goliath III (top cabinet) SWR Son of Bertha (bottom cabinet)...
