I've always loved my Epi's,this Spring I'm gonna upgrade all Epiphone pick ups and pots. Hopefully with Barden's or Nordstrand's. I play them thru an Acoustic 8x10 cabinet or a Peavey 4x10/1x15 powered by a Peavey Fireseries 750. No toys, just a wireless unit stands between me and my amp. The Peavey head needs to be upgraded as well. Anybody got any ideas??? I play original rock...kinda like a cross between Hendrix and Govt. Mule. Does anyone have an opinion on the Markbass products? (Like the 6x10/ 8x10 cabs or the 800W head they sell.) I would really love that Entwistle sound the Ox got on his Youtube bass solo in "5:15". Merry CHRISTmas to all!!!! Hoping Santa brings each of you a couple of basses. William J.
