I need that Mustang and that Gretsch and then I will be short-scale sated. Oh, and I need the Black Gibson SG, then my life will be complete. But I wouldn't mind trying a Rob Allen Mouse, those seem to be a nice Jazzy short scale. Of course, nothing quite hits the tone of a Dano..... :help:

Nope. Some of the cats I jam with on the side do the whole Irish traditional thing. But the band I am in now does everything from Le Freak to Low Rider to Another Brick in the Wall to ... well, you get the point.

I was playing at a club one night and we had the dancefloor packed and a couple girls where dancing in front of me for 3-4 songs straight, just having a blast. About the third song in, they looked down and realized I was wearing a kilt.

THAT gets a guy BIG cool points.

Hi. I'm new here. I've been reading the forums on this site for a long time but only recently decided to join. Great to finally be talking to my fellow bass players.



My Name is Aaron, I live in Australia, In a city called Penrith about an hour west of Sydney. I play bass in Sydney metal band ILCONTENT. Link Removed.. If you're interested.


I've been playing bass for about 9 years now, and I'm really having a great time with the gear I have these days so I thought I'd share it with you. ;)

This is my main stage bass, A warwick $$ corvette four string. it's seriously killer, delivers the tone I need on stage and in the studio, is pretty lightweight and plays wonderfully. the best bass i've ever played

This is my 2nd stage bass a Music Man Sterling 4h. It's a bit more bottom ended than the warwick and I find the overall sound more bright and growly. It has amazing highs and delivers a very nice low end. but Ifind it a little less punchy at times than the warwick.

This is the rig I play through. A mark bass LM 1 (I think, all its says on the head is little mark 450. but from what i could find out this is one of the LM1 heads or a LM1c :confused: ) either way it's a great head. I bought it in 2005, at the time I shopped around and tried Eden wt800, Ampeg svt pro 2, ashdown evo ii and a few others, and this head had the tone i wanted straight plug and play, what can I say it's awesome.

I play in a band with a loud hard hitting drummer, two guitarists who play ENGL tube amps and quads and a screaming vocalist, I barely have to turn the gain and master past about the second dot.. which is barely even on. I play the low end and mid low at about 3- 4 oçlock and the mid high about 3oçlock and the high about 4 oçlock, so they're fairly high but I've never had to push the amp hard in any way.

One of the guitarists I play with has always complained that I'm too loud. If he can hear bass it's too loud apparently, but he does like the sound i get with the warwick.. not so much the musicman, so I chose to play that a bit at rehearsal just to mess with him :D

feel free to ask anything or make comment. I'd love to hear what you think.

Here are mine:

In this picture the one on the ground is my Yamaha RBX260, the one against the tree is my 2001 Midnight Blue Fender MIM Jazz Bass, and the one on the right is my newly acquired 1980 Peavey T-40 and it is a great bass except for the weight:

and in this picture is the Ibanez ATK300 in Red Sparkle that I bought about a month ago but sent back a week or two later because I wasn't digging the tone very much, but I did think it was a good bass:
