dude in the middle's just miffed cause of the way his girlfriend is looking at Miles....

So it's like being in a band. The singer or guitarist gets all the chicks, even is the singer is Mick.

Funny thing is that I got that sound with my EB-2 through an ACC 126 combo with the EQ really scooped. It is about as unlikely as you can get.

EQ! what a concept….

 

[Chucky Stiletti]

Absolutely. We may not agree on ACC stacks or Burgundy Mist Metallic, but this is the important stuff to be aligned on.

hey, don’t really care much for the look of Markbass stuff either….

But isn’t that what you gig with mostly? I’m sure it’s great sounding and lightweight, but I’d guess there are a huge selection of great sounding, powerful, lightweight and cool looking combos to choose from now. The GK Fusion is one that comes to mind.

Same. I find them kinda silly-looking. But the 19th I'll be using the house MarkBass 210 combo (FX loop, so no prob), then on the 21st the house GK 210 combo. A lot of shows through the end of the year.

That guy can play. That song is all about tight timing and they have it. Jaco played a J through an ACC 360 stack, and I hate the tone. Yeah, I said that. That clip sounds very good. Proof of something.

There were songs the tone fit. Some of the Joni stuff in particular.

I’m jealous, even though I’m in TWO good bands, it seems like gigs are far and few…

like a whole lot of flashy (cheesy from an American perspective) Italian fashion stuff……functionally however, unbeatable….

Now I know you must be busy if you turned down some gigs.

How so functionally? Admittedly I've never really delved into their controls due to lack of exposure or time, but I've never been able to gel with it and fortunately the FX loop allows me to use my own preamp and run straight into its power amp.

Yes, but, not being local we couldn’t bring bodies, also, both bands are originals, one is good ole hard rock, the other is much heavier but catchy vocally. I’m both cases any Friday, Saturday (best) night or Sunday afternoon gigs would be great, opening or 2nd of 3 bands is best!

If curious about the sound of each, I’d recommend looking us up and give a quick listen:

Hard Rock:

The song “So Easy” a fun one.

Heavy Rock:

The song “Circles” is a good one, and will have a video coming soon. Song “Idle Warship” is also good, both those have and others have the same lead vox, the drummer. Bleed, Faith, are done by lead guitarist, and Nostalgia Junkie is sung by the other guitarist. I stay away from microphones at this point.

So, a $1600 VP?

looks like a 2016 VP, but it has a Hipshot bridge and Grover tuners?

I think even with the case it’s unlikely to get much more than maybe $600?
