62. 4 steady bands and 3 as a fill in.

2 heads (one as a backup), 4 (2 identical for stacking) cabinets, and two fly-rigs for silent stage gigs. The amps tend to stay at the house more and more as bands discover IEM's and everything just goes to FoH.

I have a Acoustic Image Doubleshot which is essentially two opposite facing 10" speKers. I originally bought it for smaller jazz groups but I have used it for rock bands for the stage volume but with PA support. It's nice for its size, it fits in a drum Tom case and is about 15 lbs. I will...

Simply tell him sound equipment needs to be turned off and on in a certain order or it damages the speakers. He doesn't know and it sounds like your band mates may not know either. It can be a learning experience for many.

Ibanez had that demo video on their website for whatever it's worth. I would rather just hear someone play a walking bass line with no effects just to get an idea of the tone.

There is a story that Donald Fegan and Walter Becker of Steely Dan were adamant on the bass player not slapping during the sessions of "Aja". Chuck Rainey apparently did it anyway on the recording of "Peg". We all know how that turned out. Source: The essential Chuck Rainey bass lines that...

I don't think it's a Killer Bee. I also have a KB and it doesn't have the stripes down the middle that match the lamination from the headstock. Mine is a slab of Walnut. I would like to see the back to see if the maple is top only. That would show the difference between a classic and a...

I would guess that is a basic 6 or classic 6. It does not appear to be Bubinga unless its on the back with a maple top. Here is my Tobias basic 5 which is made of bubinga.

It's a Tobias Standard. If you go to the MTD website on the "about" page near the bottom there is a little history of the Tobias brand. He talks about a period where they "sought the help from other vendors". The standard model was built in Japan and sent back to Burbank CA for finishing...

If someone gets that gig let me know when your first gig is. I'll come out and support you!

If you already have a jazz bass that you like the feel of try rewiring the pickups to a series. It is reversible if you don't like the sound or you can buy a $10 push/pull pot that will switch back to the standard pickup configuration in an instant. It is not identical but it gives you a sound...

I use mixing station for the M32. It works fine for me.

Carl just posted your picture on his Instagram account of you wearing his hat and holding your new bass. I recognized the bass. Congratulations on that amazing bass!!
