Wheel Of Time I believe... :)

My situation was slightly different...I owned a couple of bass guitars, but only dabbled playing them. Cue to a few years later and my daughter was getting ready to go to Junior High School and did the "band night". She came home and told me she wanted to play either the flute, or the string...

It was one of the EABC series...super cheap. The Ibanez was an AEB5.

Still have my first from about 15 years ago...Peavey Fury II. Bought for around $100 on Craigslist. My most recent is a foray into the 5 string world - a Peavey BXP 5 string that someone modded to make an 18V active setup (which subsequently fried the pre-amp so I got it dirt cheap). I have a...

Looked all over for a decent inexpensive acoustic bass to play in our acoustic sets at church...had the Dean, didn't get the sound I wanted...got an Ibanez and was underwhelmed...finally pulled the trigger on a Breedlove Solo Jumbo...and LOVE it. Have had it for over a year, it has a big sound...

I have a 4 string neck through Helix that I'd like to sell if you are interested Patrick. Contact me via IM.

And what is the acoustic bass I have seen you use?

"You got old when you decided to give up on new music ." Love this. I'm 48 and have listened to music my entire life and am still discovering new things I like. I was raised on classical music and barbershop and didn't get into rock until my late teens early 20s (late 80s early 90s). True...

Like I said...all cats are a$$holes. :)

I think we need meetings..."Hi...I'm The Evil Monk...and I hate cats." Hate em. Don't believe in abusing them (no physical violence) but certainly not upset when their evil is visited back upon them. Got stuck with two in my divorce, one died under the stairs...so not only did I have to clean...

Some gorgeous collections on here. Here is my own: Fender B29 Acoustic / Lace Helix / Peavey Fury II / Peavey T-40

I would actually love to own one of those too, to add to my Peavey set...but my bass funding is dry after the T-40. Love the look of it though...wonder what kind of sound it has.

Decent price too...but shipping was $60 and I had to wait two weeks!

Waited years to post this...but I just joined the T-40 club! Picked up an '81 off eBay, shipped from Puerto Rico and just arrived today. Looks and sounds great and already joined it's brother Peavey Fury II on the wall. Looking forward to spending some quality time with this bass!

It's probably a lot like the Rolex I bought on Silk Street in Beijing a few years ago for $30 USD...looked exactly like a Rolex, had all the buttons and markings, and almost kept time...but had to be adjusted every day, and the extra little dials (stopwatch, etc) were purely cosmetic. They sell...
