    Think back. What were you looking for when you bought your second bass?

    My first bass was a T-bird copy from a company called St. George, bought it for $60. Second bass was a Ric because they are COOL and Geddy played one!

    Excellent players who play a cheap basses

    I got my EBMM (I believe it is a "conversion era", around '87 or so, active w/ bass and treble only) new from Gus Zoppi's in Detroit for around $650 or so. I originally wanted a cool pearl white Ibanez with active pups, but it was sold by the time I went to go and get it. No way could I justify...

    Another amp question from me. Oh joy.

    I would also suggest this as an alternative to the B200, not as many watts but tone for days! I couldn't believe the great stuff coming out of this amp, all while I was playing a short scale Gretsch Electromatic bass...

    What do you pair with your 2x12s?

    How much should I expect to pay for a good quality bass??

    Just did my first demo with my $100 Ashland by Crafter J-bass clone. Straight in on a Boss 1600CD and it sounded TREMENDOUS! I tend to agree that it has more to do with the player and less to do with the plank being played at the time...

    Talked to Eden Tech about the E300T

    C'mon, tell us what you really think..! Are you really that out of touch with reality! You must not have any kids... Maybe you are a kid, as no self respecting adult would have such an ignorant view on life matters like that... Sorry for the rant, I'm done...

    eminence mid-drivers, who's using them?

    I have 6" in my two 3 way cabs, an LDS and a modded Triad I. I like the 6" as opposed to a horn, as my basses (4 stringers) probably only reproduce up to 6kHz anyway. They sound great, BTW (esp. the LDS cab). I don't know what the internal cross is in either of the cabs, sorry! Don at LDS would...
