My bad, Jimbo USED TO play and endorse weedwackers. I still have one of his signature sets laying around. And yes they cost me right about $15 . I didn't care much for em, especially the big fat E string . Anyway my point is more about being good with what you have regardless of what you paid...

I have found that Innovation makes the best "all around string" for the price.(about $130ish a set) 'silver slaps' are a great low tension choice for rockabilly/psychobilly yet you can still get jazzy on em' .The 'super silvers' are a bit higher tension, so even better for jazz/pizz stuff yet...

I second that as well. ya gotta take care of your body. I've never had any pain issues with my hands but ther are a few songs that set my right shoulder on fire while slappin' . I too have found that going hard and heavy takes a toll. So i just sorta learned to ease up and let my amp do the...

Thanx Nate74, it's tough because I don't live anywhere near a Carvin dealer and reviews are slim on most of their gear. Ive owned and played bass guitar through lotsa amps so I am familiar with quite a few rigs and configurations. However amplifying my upright is a whole new world to me.

Such a silly thread!!! However, after reading I've gotta put my two cents in. The only thing zep and sabbath have in common is that they're British. (and I am assuming that we are speaking of the original line ups) Both have phenomenal rhythm sections and mediocre vocalists. thats about it...

Thanx for the response! yeah I do like 1215 idea too. My main concern I suppose is running out of head room with only 250 watts as opposed to 500. and I do like the graphic eq on the RB series... I have owned Carvin Guitar amps in the past and have been very happy with em. just never owned any...

ok. Maybe I should have posted this question in the ''newbie'' or ''rockabilly'' forums? I think I made up my mind on my own. Still I am open to suggestions. Thanx!!!

I'm torn between the two. Both portable and cost the same. I like the MB1215 speaker configuration, but is gonna be loud enough for ''most'' situations? But I like the expandability of the RB510 for later on down the road. I'm playing straight forward Rockabilly with an M1, Super Silver strings...

I dont know much about the quality of their basses but one thing i can say about FMI is that they ship super fast! I've ordered a pick up and a few different sets of crap weedwhackers all on seperate occasions and I got the stuff in the mail like 2 days later. And I live in Mi. I highly recomend...
