not that it's of importance to all but audiences can help with gear acquisition....

I bought a five string because I thought it would get played in front of an audience. The guitarist is coming to pick up his amp sometime tomorrow. But I'm keeping the five string.

We use Music Stand, which is part of the Planning Center Online software. You create a plan, which includes a set list. You can pull from a library, I think, or you can add a set of lyrics along with chords, timings, and more. Each user can also make their own notes on their charts. It lets you put together teams (bands) from a user pool, etc.

Planning Center is sold as SAS to churches, but can be used for lots of things. There are other modules but Music Stand handles the music.

Thanks, Miles. I will look into that.

Cool! That would make a crappy amp sound good. Can't image what it does to an already great amp!

If you ever come to South Carolina, you can hear for yourself, Donnie.
Love both pieces, and they work extremely well together, not lightweight at all by today’s standards.
But dang! There’s a lotta tone behind that weight.
And a lotta weight behind all those tones. ;)

Anyone here have experience with the Epiphone Viola Bass? Someone's offered a trade for my Ampeg PR410HLF...

They’re really great basses.
Even with the stock pick ups, they sound great.
You just can’t use heavy gauge strings on them.
Just from my experience.

The neck feels super tiny, but easy to play.
So I say trade that heavy a$$ cab.

My first 'real' bass amp(bought in 69)was one of these [1963 piggyback Bassman,~45W*>2x12s]:
*TUBE watts

Over the years, I've attempted-with varying degrees of success-to emulate its sound, but stronger. My Rumble 200c came very close, my Rumble 100 even closer; 2 Rumble 100s were right on the money:
200W>2x12s. :hyper:
(No pic as one was mine; one was not and we didn't think to take a pic of them :banghead:)
