My mint ‘89 burst SB-1 has his name literally on the headstock, though. One of his final years with us and there’s a likelyhood his hands were on it. At least I like to think so. It sounds amazing, too. I’ll never sell it.

I’d suggest looking for a nice sealed 2x12 cab. I had a ‘65 bassman as my first tube amp and paired it with a 2x12 with Eminence Legend speakers. It sounded glorious, but obviously not a ton of head room with 50 watts. Be mindful of the active bass through it as it’ll break up faster with the...

Just sitting over here with a couple variants of MusicMan basses and enjoying the show. :whistle:

IMO I don't want to play a specific type of bass. What I do want is a bass that cuts through the mix and has a tight response. Very few passive basses seem to give me both with enough headroom. I prefer Musicman Stingray basses now because they really knocked the preamp out of the ballpark in...

You honestly can't go wrong with a Traynor. Run some KT88s in the YBA200 and you'll be happy for years. I had one and wish I hadn't sold it. Great head.

We had a bunch of drummers to chose from (including myself) and not a single bassist. Best switch I could have made, honestly.

Wait, are you telling me that all of these basses I've bought off of reverb actually came packaged in other basses? GAH!

Not sure, honestly. I have the basses I've wanted, I have the amps and cabs that I've wanted. I've tried everything under my GAS sun that I thought I wanted, but realized were just gimmicky and not my taste. I bought some nice gear, then traded my ass off with a goal in mind, and now here I sit...

I think it's a few things. First the cosmetic issues, which aren't a big deal to me. The price is certainly right. The pots are a bigger issue, since they look like they've been changed. Have you taken the neck off to see if there's a '69 date stamp inside there? That would probably seal the...
