In my humble opinion, there is no 1 'thing' that is responsible for the 'Tone', 'Sound' of your rig.What the bass is made from, the pickups, Active or Passive, Tube Power, Transistor Power, Strings and most of all, your hands and fingers. They all play into 'your sound'. You can spend a ton of...

Woahh, ***! If you want some perspective try this, Paul Chambers, Ron Carter, Scott Lafar, Eddie Gomez, Ray Brown, Jammie Jameison, Carrol Kay, Jack Cassidy! Want some more? OK; Gordon Edwards, Geddy Lee, early Phil Lesh, Charles Mingus, Mike Richmond, the list goes on and on. It all started...

It might be a little heavy but, I love my B-15 (with a JBL D-140).

Boy, Oh how I know that feeling. Had a gig where I had to play my Fender like an Upright. At least I got paid.

Damn, so many great bassists! I've got a couple. As was said before in a post, Chuck Ranie! When he hooked up with Bernard Purde, watch out! Talk about a grove!!! Then there was Harvey Brooks from the Electric Flag, one of the first KICK ASS horn bands. He was the foundation on which they would...
