I really just started to play around with the guitar a little, after many years of bass playing. I'm trying to fill in large gaps in my musical knowledge. And I'm finding guitar to be a ton of fun.

Put me in the category of "I can't believe I'm saying this, but I love the look." When I first started seeing them I thought they looked ridiculous and ugly. I've done a complete 180. I think it started with the Brubaker Brute, where I actually considered buying one ... never mind hating them.

Vintage Pedal. Well worn, but sounds great, except for the foot switch, which needs to be cleaned or replaced because it seems to cut out. It appears to be all original, but I'm no expert. Looking for $200 or best offer.

I've seen another bass player from that era keep licking his fingers. Must have been a fad.

For home use? I used to drive a 410 XLT and 210 XLT with one of these. I was probably pushing the amp too much, but it was loud as heck. Excellent piece of equipment.

To put in nicely: Ampeg consistently made basses that don't appeal to my eyes.

The two Storyville albums were phenomenal. Not only the rhythm section but the vocalist is incredible.

Thanks for that post. You have a lot of bass guitars. Rad!

For what it's worth, Dave lives near me and recently fixed my output jack. It was done timely, well, and for a good price. I don't know anything about this pickup situation, but I thought I'd chime in with a positive personal experience.

Imo funniest show on tv right now

That's pretty subtle bro. It seems like you're seeing what you want to see.

Bump...would like to hear some feedback on this myself.

x2. I see a lot of gorgeous basses on this forum, but WOW! When the ramp is intergrated into a bass like that it looks amazing IMO. I prefer that for the looks alone, never mind consistency of attack.

I think I just saw that bad boy on Ebay...or one that looks a lot like it.

Has anyone compared the MB112 with a powered 112 extension cab to the MB212? I like the modular idea, but maybe the MB212 would be a much better value?

Battery on the outside! That's awesome. You'll have to beat me to it.

Unclebass, the best advice I cam give is to try them it. It might be 70$ for the strings and a setup but it can completely change the sound and feel of your bass. I've fallen in love again with my Warwick after going from medium to extra light with a proper set up. I especially recommend it...

That's really interesting. I remember the first time I called Bass Central (I was a kid) and reached Beaver Felton. I was like, "OMG, THE Beaver Felton ?!?!" No big deal I realize now, but at the time I was starstruck. Still, it's really nice to speak to someone close to the center of...

Did you enhance the wood grain with photoshop? I notice one of your fingers is red.

Your prices are very fair...I just don't have the space to put it. My first pro rig was the XLT410, which is an absolute beast! And I'd love to have another, especially at that price.

I know this thread is about the difference in amps, but I bet that guy would sound like a million bucks playing through just about anything. Wow, he's tight.

OMG Midfour, did you pick the most obscure music on this planet or what? J/K My vote: Queen's "Another One Bites the Dust"

With $500 and fairly modest power requirements, you have a world of options open to you. I don't think anyone will give you better advice than RickenBoogie: you've just gotta bring your cab and bass to the shop and try 'em out.

The guy from counting crows should be at the top of everyones list. He's :dreadful

To add to my previous post, would Rex Brown be a better player if he jacked up his bass a little more? Hard to say because that's his thing, but I suspect that with a little practice, the answer would be, "yes."

IMHO it's simply a trade off. Do you want to look cool, or do you want better ergonomics? I like the look of a low bass, but I've never been tempted to use it because it's so uncomfortable and limiting for me. Simply put, I've never been good enough to trade playability for a cooler style...

A little off topic, but OMG what happened? Did your Warwick take a bullet for you?

That thing has got to be for promotional purposes only. They can't honestly expect to sell one.

What gives? In this day and age, why would they still manufacture basses that a plagued by such a simple problem? Is the single coil sound impossible to get any other way?

The body shape in that first pic is pretty much perfect IMHO...love it!

It's elegant looking. I don't see too many of those in the wild.

They look amazing for the money, but does anyone know how they compare with the Indonesian Sterling by MM S.U.B. line in terms of overall quality?

I agree...it is a good deal.

Maybe so, but that should be clear from the ad before "hot deal" is declared. In other words, unless that bass is in MINT condition as revealed by the ad itself, it would not be a "hot deal" by my definition. And even then, $350 goes a long way in the used Ibanez market; there's a lot of great...

There's no question that that's a solid bass for the money, but "hot deal"?

Wow, you gave a lot of head (shots in that one pic).
