Nope. No DI. Vintage in, G-12, V-12. As I said, not mine, didn't wanna push it. Other bassists sounded OK across the room.

My choice for winner...
Love them all! Workingman may be the winner .
I REALLY like what your suggesting here, but around circa 96, I had a ......
So, it'd make me think of this amp and certainly not grand enough for Mr Lee!
Geddy and Rush hold a special place in my heart. I got to roadie for a local band got record contract back in 79. We played three shows opening for - yes - RUSH! Nashville, Johnson City Tenn and the big one (for me) - Fox Theatre , Atlanta. Yes - it was the Hemispheres Tour and it was incredible. Don't get me started on the greatest band that ever was, will be, etc....
I like your specs on the working man you suggest - just maybe keep the specs, paint it red and call it a Barchetta!
Gig in progress. Rockits and the Dukes together at Luguna Woods Clubhouse 5 for the Rock ‘n Rollers Club:

Ah, the old "invisible dancers cutting the rug with an invisible band" trick. Second time I've fallen for that this week.
Biggie, that amp is YOU! Surprised me not that you go for it. Maybe you could add a 410 cab to it as well.

B, I love it! Have cool-looking casters underneath for easy travel. Very cool story too. Caught that same tour in the Quad Cities back in ‘79. That was my second time I saw Rush. First time in ‘76; my first “real” rock concert. Still have the pictures one of the guys in my group took. He’d run right up to the stage, snap the shot, and retreat back until the next attempt.
No smartphones either. Heaven! Rex Smith opened and Max Webster followed. All for under ten bucks, if I remember. Bought a pink Rush t-shirt of the first album cover. Wore that thing until it was in tatters. Yeah, I like Rush. The cool thing my son loved them too, including all the albums after Moving Pictures.
Thanks for the wonderful trip down memory lane.
WHAT? And be chastised for mixing drivers??? I'd rock it as-is and play Working Man through it on my Carvin 5er.
The new bass! How’d she do, Ghost?
Started playing bass again in a new project and picked up a Rumble 500 today!
Quite well actually and makes me wonder about the 50% of reviewers that panned this bass:
- ‘Awkward playing position’; For me it was pick up and play. No trouble with ergonomics,
- ‘Thin sound’; starting with e.q. From other basses yes. 30 seconds of specific e.q..= problem solved. Add foam mute near bridge for a tight thumpy ‘Motown sound’ and still tons of flexibility electronically with deluxe 3 pickup, 5 position strat-style rocker switch..
- ‘Body too big’; I was truly concerned about this complaint ‘cause I like sleek. It just feels different than a J or P-bass, but so does the Jaguar and I like the look of this more. It kills visually. I like the late 50’s early 60’s visual impact for a retro act.

The spring of 79 is when I buy my brand new Stingray. It stood out from the crowd at the shop like your best metaphor. Awesome sauce from headstock to tailpin. And wondering if an actual day of completion was recorded, wrote EBMM and asked what they have on my my serial number. Well, they have bupkis. The Leo days at Music Man predate their records.
But they sent me a link to a database of pre-EB serial numbers and it looks like mine was completed in March / April 1979. If I remove the neck (not going to do it) there should be infos on both the neck and the neck pocket, as the body and neck may not have been completed at the same time.
And yes, the amp I buy for the 'Ray is a combo. All the money I have is for the bass, and the combo is from what little is left over. No idea what the combo is / was. It was super cheap and used, and I consider the Peavey TNT 100 I replace it with to be a major upgrade. That's what the 70s will do to ya.
