One nice thing about the super thick plywood is you can make awesome curved corners. That is as heavy as a bass player's rig.

A picture that will make you cringe.

I meant string-wise, not equipment-wise. I regard Campbell as a very good bassist, but he only uses low D and A string, sometimes high D. And comparing a crappy Fender/Marshall rig to a custom Jackson/Mesa rig is like comparing a pile of waste with a 5 tons of gold.
Here come the flames
No flames, BUT!
when you say "Fender/Marshall rig"..
I think you mean
Squier/Guitar rig.
On another forum I frequent, someone made a post saying how they think they are going to switch from guitar to bass, because they think their guitar playing is getting stale and that playing bass will let them have more fun on stage since they don't have to concentrate as much.
They also included a picture of their current bass setup.
Hmmm... i don't see anything wrong here...

Why don't I just say it's a stupid guitarist's rig? I think that conveys the point nicely.

POO POO
Beyond the somewhat obviously funny aspects here, this guy will get out of the bass exactly what he puts into it.
I don't like to judge others if I can help it, and I hope the guy makes the most of his situation, but that looks like a disaster waiting to happen. Hopefully, he'll learn something from the experience.

I just want to see his thread named "I auditioned for a band,man were they tools..." after he auditions for a band.
I'm sure there'll be a part where he tries to get a hold on the guitarist's guitar to show them what he's capable of,then a part where he was kicked out or was beaten by the band.

More like "auditioned for a band, got the gig, the guitarist LOVED me."
So he's switching from guitar to bass?
He's gonna need lots of therapy after he finds out that the bass won't teach him what he needs to know....
Maybe he's confused with a Casio or something...

With 2 more strings and a better cab, that's actually not a terrible rig. I did a blind test and found that to most people's ears, the MG actually has a full, fat tone. A tad on the muddy side, but not bad.

The only thing in that picture that makes me cringe is that pink strap ...

When someone starts thinking with their little Marshall instead of the big Marshall, nothing good ever comes of it...

no no no you guys have it all wrong. See the little amp off to the left? Thats what he is using for bass.
Get all my fat tones out of my 7'' speaker!!!
EDIT: Did anyone else notice that there is a lip at the bottom of the door... meaning he has to step over it to get into the room. ahaha.
exactly, and has anyone ever rocked a Marshall half stack with Bass?
It's fun for about half a song...
That's nothing. Link Removed
The most cringeworthy video I've seen. Such an innocent sounding name. The Henderson tool. Not sure if they make one small enough for guitarists who swithc to bass and use a Marshall stack.
