This from last year, I've been trying to have the nice woman that shot it send it to me all this time.

my apologies to the late, wonderful Ben Orr for wrecking his bass line to this song. Happy (Jackson) TBT.


Your bass is fine here! I don't think Ben would be mad, lol. Band sounds good man, I'd hang for the night! Good fun, good sounds. This is rock n roll.
 
My 2013 Epi 'Bird sounds gnarly and pushy through this little pile here (old and use-abused Eden D410T under the last-gen UK Trace head). I'm swapping my AH250SMX in the photo for the identical preamp version, and sticking an old Peavey 1u poweramp with it. All my cabs are smallish, and 4 ohms, so I can run two at a time with the preamp-only version, instead of just one (the 250w integrated head only does down to 4 ohms).
Also, a "touch board"-similar to the venerable Chapman Stick- may be in my future... there's a dude who makes them and I've got a 10-string design that's after the Reverse Tbird shape.
Anyhow, this preamp voice and boom-box makes the sound go...

*Edit... I wonder if I could use Thunderbuckers, arranged in a split-coil configuration, for pup's with a 10-string thingamajig?...*

I should'a stood my 'Bird in front of it...
