What kinda bass player would I be if I left that beautiful ax at home?! Haha. I've taken her on the road. She just has never been to the desert before. I had an issue with a stack of skateboards that warped durring the two day drive to Phoenix. Just lookn out for the Ric sake. PERFECT! DIY...

Ooooppps. Dyslexia strikes again. "Rickenbacker"

hello all, I've got a Rickendacker 4003 jet glow black and absolutely LOVE IT!!! I am located up in the Pac NW (Portland Or) and the band is hitting the road down to the SW desert area in a couple weeks. I am originally from Arizona and fully aware of the desert heat and the damage it can do...

No mention of it in his book. But I did find an interview on Bassplayer.com where he shares the reason. (Attached screen shot). It's all about the looks!!!

NO. I do not loan my bass(s). But of course if Lemmy wanted to borrow my bass, I'd just give it to him Should be the other way around though. If I could borrow my faves bass for a tour, would THEY let me?!?!

I was wondering if anyone knew or had a link to info on Lemmy and his choice of Bass (being a Ric). He has inspired me to play a Ric. I love the look and the sound is KILLER!!! Later he had his own (limited run) signature model by Rickenbacker. Just wondering what his story was to play a Ric...

Rock In Peace Lemmy!!!

Here is mine. Ricenbacker 4003 Jetglo, Ampeg 610, and Fender Bassman 300 (just got this head yesterday and it is AWESOME!!!!!) I love everything about my rig! Crisp, warm, clear, LOUD, LOUD, LOUD! Love it!!

I just scored a used Fender Bassman 300 for $900. Was the best money ive spent in a long time!!!! The difference between tube and solid state is night and day!! The Tube head will make you a man!! The sound that comes out of a Tube amp is just simply AMAZING!!!!! The head is big, bulky and...

I was in the same boat. I just picked up a Fender Bassman 300 for $900 and was my BEST buy of the year. AMPEG SVT, Fender Bassman 300, Sunn 300T, Mesa Boogie 400 were my options. The Bassman/300T have good sculpting controls to achieve whatever sound you want. Going Tube is like becoming a...

ps- if any of you out there are considering an all tube head......DO IT!!!! You wont be sorry!!! Of course this is all subjective to personal preference and choice but as I stand right now I would play a Tube amp over a Solid State amp any day!! Oh I might add that I have also owned and...

So, an update on my thread: So as I said earlier, I found a Fender Bassman 300 from a fellow TBer for a fair price. The head showed up yesterday and within an hour I was plugged in at band practice and BLOWN AWAY at how AWESOME this thing sounds!!!!! oh and the head room......LOTS!! This...

So looks as if I'm about to pull the trigger on a Fender Bassman 300 from a fellow TBer for a fair price! Just gotta work out some final details and it's official!! I'm pretty much sold on the versatility of the head (and visual design) and it should have plenty of head room that I want so now...

Nice!! Was looking at that one in December but ended up passing. I blew it. Haha. Now looking for another one again. Looks great man

So I found a used Fender Bassman 300 Pro for $850. Newer tubes and looks cosmetically good. What do y'all think? Also it's a private seller and they'd have to ship to me, I feel very worried about that part as we all know how shippers toss pkgs around...... Thoughts? Thank you
