That’s a really nice-looking bass. I love the one pickup-two knobs setup myself and that bass brings it. Good for you, GP!
Not mine, but you could make a lefty outta it. I was pretty certain they made a double cutaway. Mine has 2 pups but I only use the neck pup. The 3 position switch on my AGB200 is neck/both/bridge. It stays on 'neck'.

Always a possibility, but I’m really hot for the upgraded Hofner to sit alongside the Rogue and P (oops, where’s the Jazz?).

Plus, I’m worried Doc Intrepid may rescind my honorary membership in the Canadian Violin Bass Appreciation Society if I don’t buy a Hofner at some point, and I don’t want to disappoint! :bored:

Also, did the Jazz find a new home?

And it’s always appreciated. We lefties tend to gravitate to those big-hearted types who realize we see about one-tenth of the selection the rest of you folks are allowed to purchase.

So don’t let me tell hear anyone say that GP is that grizzled old navy vet who’s stuck in his ways. Inside, he has a heart of gold. In fact, Neil Young wrote a song about him. :bassist:
 
Well I put my Markbass 151p combo through its paces today and in short it passed with flying colors. We had 2 acoustic guitar players/singers and electric drums going through 2 monitors with one 18inch sub and one 15inch main. I had my 151p on an amp stand and it sounded really good. I had to turn the main volume and gain about half way on the amp, but we were playing outdoors and it got pretty loud. I'm really excited about this amp and can't wait to gig with it.

Great to hear, b90! Nice to hear you’re putting your combo through its paces and are finding it so tasty.

Were you running through the PA setup as well or rightbout of the amp? I’m assuming so because you were outdoors, but I thought it was worth asking.

Well, we’re starting to make a come back with the Markbass brand here at the CC, b90. Keep the good news a coming.
 

Seriously, Man, I thought you were a dead ringer for him. Had you played bass instead of Kelly Croucutt you two would’ve looked like a couple of bookends out front!

Regardless, you definitely had the rocker look. Did ya ever play in Molly Hatchett? I may have caught ya in Rockford, IL circa 1980? ;)
