I saw Clapton and Daltrey in Tulsa Last Week. I was sitting in the back of the arena in the upper section. The sound was fantastic up there. I could hear both bassists really well. I loved the fact that Daltrey's band all had big amps and cabs. Clapton had two old Single speaker combo...

I played a gig last monday night in OKC with a side group of mine. We opened for another band. After our set I moved my gear off stage and proceeded to watch the other band set up. When the other groups bass player set his bass on stage I noticed something I've never seen before. He had a...

Cancer made comeback and progressed very quickly.

Just found out from Tulsa news... Wayman Tisdale has died this morning at 8:00 am at St. John Medical center in Tulsa... Please Everyone be in prayer for his family. He was an awesome person. Great B-ball player, bassist, and wonderful christian role model.

My first really nice bass was an Ibanez SoundGear. I bought it back in 1999. It was a 4 string neck-through body. It had a five piece neck and active electronics with the vari-mid controls. It was a good bass for about two years. After that the neck warped and I had to send it off for...

Here is a pic of my new setup. I am very impressed with it. The sound is amazing. I can't believe the volume that comes from this rig. It should be capable of covering most of my gigging situations.

Thanks for the info. I'm going to give it a thorough tryout today during my lunch hour coming up in about 10 minutes.

My 310 cab arrived today...WooHoo! I couldn't really give it a thorough try out tonight because of a meeting. When I got home from the meeting my son was asleep. I played it briefly before the meeting and was very, very impressed. I have a couple of questions though. There is some hiss...

I believe they had to order it from Epifani. It was supposed to ship out last monday. I'm not upset with them... I'm just dying from anticipation.

Well, Two weeks have past and I still don't have my Epi 310 cab. I ordered through Van Gelder Music. Anybody have any experience dealing with Van Gelder? I havn't even tried out my F1 yet, it has been sitting in my computer room looking pretty on a shelf.

Well, I received my F1 on Friday afternoon After I had already left for a gig so I didn't get to use it with my friends Genz Benz XB 210 cab. My Epi UL310 has not been shipped yet due to the Epi guys being in Germany. Hopefully I will get my cab this week and can use my new rig this weekend.

Thanks for the info. I'm not really into the tube grind sound. I like clean and clear. I'm looking for a setup that doesn't color the natural sound of my basses to much.

I will post up when it arrives. KJung, your posts where some of the post that initially led me to this choice. Do you think the difference in sound between my old setup and new setup will be huge?

Well, I finally purchased a new bass rig. I have been using a Hartke 3500 and 4.5XL cab for about 10 years now and have been very satisfied with the sound. The weight of the rig (and GAS) has encouraged me to modernize. I have purchased a Markbass F1 head and an Epifani UL310 cab as a...

I too have a F1 on the way. I can't wait.
