I have been looking for a "chiclet" SVT 2p for a couple of years now. Need to sell some stuff to come up with the cash. I will check back later so BUMP.

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.

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.

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...

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...

Good luck Brother!!!!!

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...

Now that you mention it,sir, yes it does feel good!! I think I will take my wife out this weekend for dinner and a movie. No gig.

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...

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...

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...

I wish I was 13 again.

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...

I just tell them that they are right. Then I don't have to talk to them anymore.

Thanks for the tip. Man, these guys bring up visions of "Superfly" and "Soul Train" and 'fro's and polyester bell-bottoms. Very cool old school funk vibe.

Thanks Basspro. I am honored and #21 I am. I do vaguely remember the name Dean Brownell.

Dave and Gary have been my friends for a long time. I had more fun around those two guys than anyone should be allowed to in any one lifetime. My name is Jon Boone. They will know me if you mention my name. Anyway nice to meet you Danny.

Same here. I sent it back for a refund.

I played bass around Reno, Carson City, Virginia City for about 26 years. I have been living in Oregon for about 10 years now but my musical heart lives in Nevada still. Dave Edwards and Gary Setzer are close friends of mine. My son Scott Terry plays git for the "Boogie Daddy's". I subbed on...

As someone else said, if you have paying gigs coming up you can find a new drummer easy! So tell him to be there or be gone. If the other members object then threaten to bail yourself. This problem, probably, won't go away because the drummer has an axe to grind with you for whatever reason...

I agree with you for the most part but the human voice has always been used in music. Is bad lyrics a real reason to stop lyrical performance in music? After all "singing" can be one of the most beautiful parts of music. It tells the story and instantly puts a face on the composition.

I think all lyrics can seem inane but what would we do without them?

I am with the others that keep a Sansamp DI in there bag. It can fix any crapola backline amp. I always bring it to jam sessions so I don't have to worry about what quality of equipment is on stage. Also, I don't have to mess up the host bassists EQ which always bothers me.

This tune is so soothing that it would make a pride of hungry lions roll over and show their soft parts. Derek has a heart full of golden soul and Oteil just blow me away and on a P-bass at that. What a voice Susan T. has!!!! This was the best part of the Crossroads 2010 concert. The new...

As you can see from the posts, Jack Bruce inspired many of us. I am one of them. JackBruce, Tommy Shannon and the bassist for The Butterfield Blues Band (his name escapes me) were my early on hero's. I saw Cream live in '68 (?) and I bought my first bass that year. The guy knocked my socks off...

Hey, a good name "Self-Evident". Sorry, man, but band names are one of the hardest parts about forming a band. I bet I have suggested 2 million names in 40+ years of playing. Nobody liked any of them. Go figure. Let somebody else do it and just roll with it. Pretty soon you will be in a...

You may certainly be right about that. If I have mis-stated I apologize. I have no personal experience with the Zon neck. Steve Mosher of Moses-Graphite mentioned that Zon made a "good product" and I may have mis-interpreted that the manufacturing process was similar.

"LED GUITAR" is part of the "NEW MEADEL" ( I think I misspelled his misspelling). :-)

I have built and/or played basses with Moses-Graphite, Modulus and Status. In all respects I rate them as follows: 1. Status- The best of the 3 mentioned. Easier to install (neck screws only). Uses a graphite mesh. Will significantly change tone for the better. The overall tone was so good it...

I'm 64. "How old are you?" is my first question for obvious reasons.

Carvin SB 4000. Beautiful bass but I could not get any usable tone from it at all. Disappointing.

YES , My Modulus Q5. It is the best bass on the planet! If you don't like that, we can visit the parking lot!

I did try it without the "block". A bit "farty" off the B string but not much and it seemed to get more focused after I "blocked" it. I'm going to build another one so I can have a "micro/mini me stack". I kind of missed a tweeter at first but now I don't. Sounds great without one. Yeah...

Everything I own is expendable EXCEPT my Modulus Q5. At any given moment everything else could end up on E-Bay or CL.

Thanks Duke!! Here is a picture of my micro/mini me. I built it just like you described. Like everybody else I find that it is "surprisingly loud". I will build another one shortly. Great fun and all of my "big" stuff is in the garage waiting for the next gig. Makes my wife really happy.(LOL...)

Einstein's quote is a lie! Einstein was a pacifist and a socialist. He would have rolled over like a puppy dog. You missed the point entirely. All I did was lift up my shirt and they left quickly. The point being that criminals are cowards. Somewhere in the 90th percentile "brandishing"...

Then I would have lost all my equipment and got shot also. If they had guns I would be even and criminals run when it is no longer "easy".

It is amazing how great a weapon a bass guitar is. Security? I am licensed to carry concealed and I usually carry a Kel-tec 9mm pistol on me or at least close by.. I keep a police sap in my gig bag. I was once scoped out with a mild threat after a gig in the parking lot by 3 guys whom I...
