Jamerson still had distortion in his tone. It just wasn't a pedal, it was limitations of recording technology. And its part of the reason why his tone was awesome. I think one of the biggest things new about bass distortion now is that we've developed the blend knob and we've learned to split...

I would argue that my stingray special meets all 4 criteria.

I'm a huge fan of MM, but the colors and offering for this bass make it kind of appear at a glance likea squire affinity version of a stingray, rather than the bad a$$ bass that it most certainly is. That and I own a jet black stingray special and a BFR bongo 6 both with roasted necks. I...

Yeah that basically just ensured that I'm getting a music man when I buy my next 4-string

I agree 100%, Music Man quality and consistency is legendary. Their roasted necks are nicer than anything I've played personally. The customer service is phenomenal. Plus, we're talking about Ball Family Reserve, which is not standard run by any means.

I was under the impression that the impedance that you run your head at dictates how much power you're getting. So, for example, some heads that I've seen run 350w @ 4Ohms and 250w @ 8Ohms. So in this case if you run that head into an 8OHM cab, the power amp is only going to be able to push...

Probably sold the instruments and got 4 different ones by now! :0)

Which one did you get?

35 is too old?! Jeez dude, don't limit yourself. I'm older than you, with a 1 year old. We're good. ;)

Doesn't matter which model you choose. All 3 can do what you need them to do. My personal choice is a stingray. I prefer modern over vintage any day of the week, and no one can say that the feel of a roasted music man neck isn't the most luxurious playing experience around. My advice would be...

I finally got mine, totally worth the wait. I love it. This is my studio board, and I can do literally anything with it, but right now the YYZ has been on all the time and I love the tool preset (slight tweaking to it) but the subtle grit works real well too. attached are two mp3s of a track...

Social Media has made people a$$holes, plain and simple. It's a bummer.

That looks so sick.
