I play the alphabet game alot with my 8 year-old daughter in the car, and the other day my mind wandered to all the bass gear that's passed through my hands over the years. Is it possible to create 26 pieces of gear, one for each letter of the alphabet? It doesn't necessarily have to be functional or fit in your hatchback, but I figure amongst the TB'ers we could put something together - feel free to edit and add or subtract as we go along, I know there's a ton of stuff under the letter A for example.

OK, here's my first attempt with some blanks:

A: Ampeg SVT-CL
B: Bergantino NV215
C: *Can't bring myself to type "Carvin" yet. But I just did.
D: Demeter Pre-amp
E: Epifani 610 (or the 115 combo)
F: Fender P-Bass
G: Gibson Thunderbird
H: Hofner "Beatle Bass"
I: Ibanez ATK-300
J: Johnson Short Scale Bass (not thrilled about this choice).
K: Kramer Disciple Bass
L: Lakland 55-94
M: Mike Lull M4V (or a Mono Gig bag)
N:
O:
P:
Q:
R: Rickenbacker 4001
S: Sadowsky DI
T: TC Electronic Blacksmith Amp
U: "Upright" bass - think I'm cheating a bit here. :rolleyes:
V:
W: Warwick Thumb Bass
X: X-Factor Bass
Y:
Z: Zon Legacy Bass


I'm stuck for now - might need some more accessories, strings, cabs, etc... *maybe Tom Bowlus can help! What else ya got TB'ers?



:confused:
