Loyalty to Any Specific Brand?

[MarcTheRogue]

@MarkTheRogue - That may be the highest concentration of Peavey basses I have ever seen in one picture. They're beautiful, though. I have never seen those before. I'm used to the T-40s and Grinds.

Beautiful, aren't they? The double P-style really invigorates me.

If G&L offered more 5-strings I'd probably own them all, luckily for my wallet they don't.

Found a Yamaha TRB-6 on Craigslist for $850.

You do have good taste in basses.

 

[Jeff Scott]

As to brand loyalty, going by my bass history going back to 1971 I'd say Rickenbacker is my first loyalty.

I blame John Myung from Dream Theater.

And I'm dying because I can't afford it.

F BASS.

That's all I will play.

Mr. Phalex, please sir, if it's not too much trouble, could we get a pic of that AC50F listed in your profile? Pretty please?

We're kind of a package deal. Only photo I could find:

I played this bass as my main player for years. But after going back to a 4 I'm not too keen on the tight (ish) string spacing these days.

 

[ProgRocker]

Dedicated to any one brand? No. I love my basses by Yamaha (late 70's BB300), Schecter (Diamond Series Elite 5 String), and a Dean (EABC acoustic). I also own gear from Line6, Tascam, KRK, Hartke, Boss, and Korg.

I use what works best for my needs.

I have owned Fender, Carvin, Ibanez, Yamaha and Steinberger. I purchased my first Status-Graphite several years ago and have found my ultimate basses.

See my avatar for the latest purchase, a 6-string Status-Graphite Stealth

I blame John Myung from Dream Theater.

And I'm dying because I can't afford it.

I have a John Myung Yamaha model for sale over in the classifieds section. I purchased it to learn how to play a 6-string and have now replaced it with a Status Graphite Status 6 so the John Myung s for sale.

Can I marry you?

 

[basspraiser]

I pretty much have found:

Laklands/Carlo for electric basses (Carlo is Carl Pedigo and he does GREAT custom work!)
Rick Turner for semi- acoustics
Michael Kelly for full acoustics

These basses just "feel right" and sound great to me and ALL of the companies have bent over backwards in customer service....

the CS is a huge deal with me.....huge.

 

[chicago_mike]

Lakland and Genz Benz.

It comes down to the product yes, but also the people behind it for me.

I do endorse Genz Benz.

I see too many people jumping ship all the time or putting tape over a name.

 

[BluesWalker]

Can I marry you?

Lol, sorry I am taken and will stick with her!

[SquierJazz72]

I'm primarily a Fender/Squier guy. Love the designs and sounds of strats,teles, Ps and Js. I branched out years ago and tried other things, but just came back to Fender styles, so that's where I stay now. Plus I respect Leo's legacy and accomplishments. If I were going to go non-Fender/Squier, it would likely be for something G&L.

 

[TinIndian]

Nah. Not so much. I have a Peavey, Ibanez, two Spectors, Lakland, Warwick, a strange but cool sixties thing by a company called Firstman and a home built P bass.

So not so much. I have become a diehard Genz amp guy though. Does that count?

 

[Ric5]

I used to play a lot of Ricks ... but then I got involved with certain forums and discovered the cult like mentality ... etc ... I became a lot less into Rics ... I am down to 2 these days ...

I am not a fan-boy of any brand these days ...
