I've been using a Fender Bassman 250 115 for over a year now. I can't say how much I love this thing. Playing classic rock mainly. I've got a 118 extension cab (Carvin cab with a Pyle driver 18) when I really want to grab the air and shake it! :)

As a creature of the 70s, Geddy, Squire, and John Paul Jones were influences that blew me away and made me think, man, I want to do that some day.

Oh man, that sucks! Take care. Hope you're better soon!

You're talking about switching between two amps, he wants to run both at the same time. Bad idea.

My folks weren't musical at all. I started playing when I was 19. Learned everything myself. My son has tried a few different things (violin, guitar, keys), but never really took to anything. I finally said, hey the only thing I can really teach you anything about is bass. So, I showed him a few...

Hey I know I could be shot for declaring this but, I let the chrome tuners on one of my basses get really badly tarnished/oxidized. Has anyone used anything to bring back the shine once it's gotten bad?

Oh and about the pics, if you go to either of the myspace pages in my sig you can see lots of pics and vids of them in action! :)

I just started reading that thread yesterday. On page 17 right now. If I can think of anything that hasn't been asked already... I just ordered a set of D'Addario Chrome flats (ECB82). I've got these on the '73 and love 'em. This is the best price I could find in a quick search... [Invalid or...

Yeah, I hear that. As you can probably guess by my moniker I'm a BIG Rush fan myself. My other basses are a '79 Rick 4001 fireglow - at least not jetglow :) and a '73 jazz that was originally a very light natural finish. The piece of wood used for the body was not all the great looking so I...

Well, I went to check it out last night. The seller told me it was only about 6 months old. It was in absolutely pristine shape. Still had the plastic coating on the pick guard. Neck was as strait as anyone could ever want. Nice low action with just a bit of buzz if I really dug in. I felt...

Thanks again everybody! He finally got back to me with a serial number, says it's... S 059026. I can't find this particular scheme on Fender's chart. Anyone know for sure what year this is?

He wants $550. If it's as mint as he says I figure that it's a pretty good price.

Thanks to everyone who has responded. JPGeddy, thanks for the link, I'll check the tuners closely for looseness and any tarnish. Does anyone know for sure when they started "faking" the black inlays?

From a private owner. He says he's the first owner and that the bass is in mint condition. Dont' know the model year, I asked for the serial number and am waiting for a reply. Is there anything in particular with these that I should be looking for? Are there any model years that should be...

[Invalid or Expired Link Removed] Looks like a good deal for the price. I like the sound of 15s for my low end, but I've never seen this particular cab or heard of Madison Knight speakers. Anyone have experience with either?
