Oops, I somehow missed that this forum was here and already posted in Basses, a combined new bass post and intro, since I just picked up an Epi T-bird last Friday for $100. So I've already managed to break protocol, d'oh! Sorry about that, chief.
At any rate, that's my most recent deal. I think I done pretty good. Here's my "new" T-bird and my other basses, fwiw, all inexpensive cheapies, but I've got most of the bases (pardon the pun) covered:
As far as amps go, nothing fancy or expensive there either. I have a '60's Sunn 200S head that I use for both bass and guitar (oh yeah, I'm a guitardist too), and a Crate BX200 head as well. I have an old SVT 8x10 fridge cab, and a little DIY 2x10 (made from a Peavey silverstrip PA cab with 2 Carvin bass speakers put in). Last, I have an old Woodson 250 head and matching 1x15 cab. I mix and match stuff as gig requirements, laziness, and impedance allow.
I'm in a few rock bands that do original material of various genres. I'm the lead singer/guitarist in one, and in the other two I've gone back and forth between guitar and bass as needed, and do backing vocals in those. And I play in church too. Oh, and I'll turn 51 in a week or so.
But enough about me.
I'll try to play nice.
