    What does your home practice setup look like?

    450+ watts with the GK/Ampeg 4x10 blh with a Carvin PB150 15" Combo, BOTH rigs connected together through a Bass+ Preamp....i get some really gnarly sound when both amps turned on

    How crazy is it to have 5 basses and not gig??

    I personaly own 3 basses and 2 amp/cab rigs and very rarely gig...im looking into buying a $2k+ Warwick Thumb or Fortress...owning guitars is no different than someone owning a hiney load of cars that they will rarely or never drive.....

    If you had $2,000 to buy a (used) bass - what would you get? (4 strings, passive)

    Late 90's Warwick Fortress 4 string or Thumb 4 string....bubinga/ovenkeil......

    Gibson Sues Dean and Luna over Infringement

    I'll personaly stick with my good ole PRS bass before i waste my $ on Gibson, Fender or any of the other manufacturers where your paying more for the name rather than quality anymore

    1200 WATTS - WHY ?

    GK 700RBII and Ampeg SVT 410 cab.......plenty of power with some headroom to make the wife pitch a fit during practice sessions

    And the winner for best amp to pair with a ampeg bxt 410 hlf cab is **BLANK**

    Lol......sounds like what I've done in the past in my truck stereo (1200 watts) before I learned the fine art of amp/speaker matching...

    Looking at the back of the cab says 8 ohms......I'm actually putting in an offer on reverb for a shuttlemax 12.2 (fingers crossed)

    Well so far it looks like I'll be doing more research on GK and GB amps....I've looked in Mesa's and unless it's used they are a bit pricey for my budget....I could dame the same about the GB amps but as I mentioned earlier the GC here has a used GBE 1200 for $600 that I may be stopping in and...

    My tone I guess would be classic rock (70's thru early 90's) with a little folk music blended in...as for budget...my wife would say under $800......

    Thanks for the suggestions guys.....I've been thinking about ditching the carvin 115 and just going with the ampeg 410 hlf....I've been looking into either a GK MB500 of RB700 II......I've seen a Genz-Benz GBE 1200 at my local GC but havent tried it thinking it would be WAY too much for my cab.....

    I currently have a Carvin ProBass 150 head powering a Carvin 110 (400 watt)cab and a Ampeg BXT 410 HLF (600 watt).......This combo serves it purposes as a low power practice rig but im looking to expand sonicly from my basement to a couple houses past mine (if you catch my meaning)......im...

    So what does a $25k bass actually get you?

    I have a $220 Yamaha that I did about $200 of mods on and I get compliments all the time on how it sounds like a more expensive model
