    Who here carries a back up amp with them?

    I do not carry a back up amp. I dont even carry a primary amp. I carry a DI box, my bass, and my pedals. Ive never needed a backup anything. If a pedal doesnt work, I just take it out of the chain and fix it later. Easy, Simple, Load off my back.

    Geddy lee inlay question

    I have carefully looked mine over and you can see where some of the clear coat seeped in between the inlay and neck. If it's all 100% smooth, they might be painted on.

    810 Cabinets? The good the Bad & the Ugly

    I personally only run direct. Bass cabs are too much of a hassle and i think they just take up space so I run direct

    I need Cash

    I am one bass away from my dream "family" and I need money. I have my Geddy Lee, a John Myung signature (RBXJM Red) and all I need is a Bongo 6 and I will (I think) never need another bass. I will be happy. However, I need 1800-2600$ and I need help.:help: I am 17 and up to my neck in school...

    What's Your Biggest Playing Handicap?

    yes, definitely my biggest "handicap" I go through bass strings every month because of how hard I play you can clearly distinguish what I am playing without an amp

    difficult to play with bridge/pickup covers?

    I personally have no problems and I play fingerstyle with three fingers so go for it but in the occasion that I use a pick (2% of the time) I play close to the neck so it doesnt bother me
