    VT Bass Deluxe + Pwr Amp as your rig?

    I used a Sansamp Bass DI (the programmable one) with a power amp for awhile and it all worked out perfectly. I eventually switched to an RBI because it has the mid control. Otherwise it worked really well.

    Ported 810 cab vs. sealed

    Damn!! Along with fearful and phasing and vertical vs horizontal 2 vs 4 vs 8 and Neo, tube vs SS etc, etc, I now have to worry about ported vs sealed? I think I will start playing oboe.

    Can't believe it's been 21 years!

    I took 3 of my teenage sons to see SRV live. Two of my sons were big EVH metal fans. I remember they were kind of scoffing that this guy was a blues player and couldn't hold a candle to EVH. As soon as he started to play my sons sat up in their seats and did not utter another word until we...

    United States of America v. Ebony Wood in Various Forms

    Enviro-fascism at it's most sordid. Is environmentalism going to be the interface between a corrupt, tyrannical government and the citizen? If "they" come to my house to take away my rosewood fretboard they will be looking down the barrel of an AK47. The Lacy act should be reviewed by SCOTUS...

    Well... I guess I'm calling it quits.

    I agree with this. My wife (at the time) said I needed counseling. So SHE set up a session with a family psych. and we brought all the kids along too. She said her piece and I said mine (rather sheepishly as I remember) and he questioned the kids. Then he had everybody leave but me and he...

    Well... I guess I'm calling it quits.

    What the OP is dealing with in his wife is called "co-dependency". That's the psych. term for his wife's problem. It is not just the music/band problem. It goes much farther than that. I would venture to guess that all of her time is her time and all of his time is hers too. If he has to work an...

    Well... I guess I'm calling it quits.

    I was married to a woman like this for 20 years. It was a continuous fight between us for many years. In the end she won the battle but lost the war. When the kids grew up I left. I , then, pro-actively looked for a woman who would understand and be supportive of me and my passion to play...

    Nevada bassist club

    Yeah, I know that bit of history. There was a little club in Silver City that was a jumpin' place during that time. The building is still there. Big Brother and Janice played there and at the Red Dog in VC back then. There was another band ( name escapes me) well known at the time that some of...

    Nevada bassist club

    I lived in the Reno/Carson City area for a very long time and I miss the desert and Nevada very much. Virginia City, on and off, has had a great music scene. I remember playing at the Red Dog with bands playing up and down the main st. and it was like a big party with people dancing in the...
