    Gene Simmons

    Funny, you bring that up. I just recently listened to it on Spotify. Certainly a big departure from what they were known for, but shows the versatility they could easily have. Gonna check out their newest releases as well, since they had claimed to going back to their roots on them.

    Will we all being playing our Gibson's through Behringer's before to long?

    I owned some Behringer gear. Not bad, and most would say a lot of bang for the buck. Mainly, I had some powered speakers, by them. I have sold them off several years ago, to upgrade to some Bose gear. The guy who bought them Behringers off me, is still using them today. They are not for...

    Will we all being playing our Gibson's through Behringer's before to long?

    Yorkeville and Traynor, do make some great stuff. Owned some Yorkeville and played through a Traynor. The quality of most companies have gone to crap. I will be in the market for a new bass soon, and thinking Reverend. I owned a Sensai Jr guitar and the quality of that was great. I expect the...

    Gene Simmons

    Man, I have not been on here in forever, and now I am reviving an old thread, that maybe most bass players, can't stand. There has been a big Kiss emergence in my life, since the 40th anniversary celebration in my hometown of Cadillac, Michigan. Where Kiss showed up in 1975 to help celebrate at...

    Fender VI 6 String Bass ?

    So, the project has been on hold. I have spent some time trying to find a pickguard with no luck. I recently lost in bidding on one on ebay that sold reasonably. The rest that I see are just far too much. After being on the phone with several pickguard makers, I have had no luck. Nobody has a...

    Fender VI 6 String Bass ?

    I got the strings in yesterday. I should be getting the tuners and pup today. I am gonna try to get ahold of Fender to see about a switchplate for this. They could probably at least refer me to a company that could make one. If not I will go with a Jaguar 3 switch plate that would get me about...

    Practice Amps?

    I dont know what your budget is and this is more than 25 watts, but the Line 6 Studio 10 is pretty awsome. Pretty small amp and if you decided to, would be able to jam with others. It also has a mp3 line in and headphone out. You could score one on ebay pretty reasonable.

    "Official" Mikro Bass Club Part 2

    I'm sure you could find a bridge in black that would work great. I just dont think you will find a direct replacement. I did a search for a B10 bridge on ebay and this is what I came up with...

    I need a really portable but still loud amp any suggestions

    Love my neos. Cant explain what it is about the sound. Im sure one of the more tech savy guys could. Then there is the weight, which is like a third of the normal speaker. Pretty sweet.

    "Official" Mikro Bass Club Part 2

    Wow, this thread has been moving right along since I last visited. Very cool to see all the Mikro people on board. I just recently finished a couple upgrades. I got the Kent Armstrong P Bass pup in. Also, put a Tone Styler in. Invalid Link Removed It is in the middle control position, where J...

    Fender VI 6 String Bass ?

    I seen a couple on ebay. Yeah, way out of my league. I am waiting on a call back from WD. Forgot about Warmoth, I will check that out. Castagnier, I ordered up some Kluson's through WD. I also found a Fender Jaguar PUP on WD and ordered that up. It was the closest one that I could find. I did...

    Fender VI 6 String Bass ?

    Yeah, I got it. I looked back and seen that he has "It is more of a baritone, I would say" in bold print. Missed that earlier. Definately know it is a baritone. Just ordered up the strings for it. Easiest part to find. Time to get on the phone and see what else I can find.

    Fender VI 6 String Bass ?

    As you can see, somebody really botched it up. I will be curious to take that Gibson type EB3 pup off and see what it is. It would be cool to find a tremolo bar that fits this as well. I have a few places to make some calls today and see what kind of parts, I can come up with. My guitar tech...

    Fender VI 6 String Bass ?

    In 61 it was described as a 6 string bass, now, yes a baritone guitar. Am I qualified for this, not sure. If you mean, restoring this myself, probably not. The thing has been sitting in a case, where it would have remained if I did not pull it out. So I figure, I will do it some justice. Or do...
