Well then I qualify because I f&%kin love this thing! To me the Rumble 25 is like a Champ and a Bassman's wayward love child. I'm taking lessons from a guy and we are studying the Real Book. My teacher is very into proper jazz tone. I think this amp will be perfect for that. I have gigged...

Can I join?

I don’t know. Possibly some sort of bushing, maybe to stabilize or dampen the threaded key shaft? Does yours have it? I don’t recall seeing this detail on any of my previous Classic Vibe basses. The tuners work fine. This bass is truly a Special Run being the only ISS CV60’s. I played...

My Brothers and Sisters. I salute you. Veterans Day 2021. We few, we happy few, we band of brothers; For he to-day that sheds his blood with me Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile, This day shall gentle his condition; And gentlemen in England now a-bed Shall think themselves accurs'd...

My guitar player buddy told me the color of this bass made him want to eat doughnuts!:laugh:

I saw that blue headstock and the GAS kicked in. On closer inspection this was indeed a good bass. I got one new in the box. Nice and light- 8lbs, zero ounces. Threaded saddles (as opposed the the standard CV60's smooth saddles). Real nice fretwork for a bass of this provenance. I did...

Overtones and tuning temperment have caused me problems, but more during recording, than during live/stage performance. The weird sounds you hear when working under a microscope. On stage, white noise is your friend. In the studio on the other hand I had to find strategies to deal with the...

Ampeg

No... When I started playing bass in the 70’s, bass players didn’t use pedals. It wasn’t even a thing. My preference today is still just bass and amp. On guitar, if I’m using a blackface fender, I’ll use a tubescreamer. With a Superlead I use an attenuator. I have a whole slough of pedals I...

Thank You!:D

Looks like we are rocking the same wall paneling too:D

I'm one of those old dogs who remembers when the Squier line was introduced in the 80's. They were price-pointed at beginners and novices. I never gave them a second look. Last year I tried all the various Fenders at my local shop, looking for a back-up for my (real) 1974 Jazz. Couldn't find...

Greetings. Bassist since '77. My first teacher schooled me with the Mel Bay books. JPJ, Randy Jo Hobbs, Leon Wilkeson, and Geddy Lee were my formative bass influences. I like tube amps, Marshalls, and things like that, that rock. My music project is called Two Kinds Of Light. I've had my J...
