What’s your last purchase ?

[Dabndug]

Atelier Z Beta 5 6 control model from Kurosawa Gakki Bass Store in Ochanomizu. My first foray into 5ers. An Xotic J and an Atelier Z M265 Custom (J/MM) were the competition. The relative simplicity and 24 frets of the Beta 5 won the day.

In stead of going for the Alembic- Stanley Clarke signature bass that was on my GAS list, I opted for this stunning VINYL(!), amp head head cover, in matte black~ Fit and finish is amazing, BTW!! 47K bonus points if you can guess what the amp head is.. One clue to start it off- it has NO TUBES~

D'Addario strings. Before that, my GK 410 Neo cab a while back.

Another hint.. 150k Bonus Points~

Maybe- BUT, you have one more string than I do..

Acoustic 360?

I need to be selling basses, amps and cabs

Acoustic 360?

Good guess...! You're in the right era/time-frame, but wrong brand~
Some of you have had, or still have one of these, typically sold with a 2x15 cab at 4 ohms..
It has gone through multiple series, throughout the years, made in USA- (Meridian, MS)~

Seems only fair to reveal the mystery, for those who are playing along...
Obscure, but not unheard of- Peavey Series 400(B) "The Bass"~

This Epiphone by Gibson Power bass

It’s been a couple of months and I’ve been enjoying every moment with my new Fender Super Bassman 300.

My Sadowsky’s and StingRays sound so good through this rig it makes me weep and smile at the same time

Actual it was a Fender short scale gig bag

Beautiful bass… just an FYI , now is a great time to buy Atelier Z’s or any MIJ basses via the various Japanese sites or dealers, as the yen is so weak against the US dollar. I just pulled the trigger on a gorgeous new Beta 5 with all the bells and whistles for about what a new Fender Ultra II Jazz would cost me…

 

[Dabndug]

With the USD worth more than 160 JPY, and shipping to the US costing around USD 200 - 250, a boutique MIJ bass can be had from around USD 2,500 new, and much less used.

Yep… here’s what’s on the way thanks to that:

My latest purchase.

 

[MonetBass]

Not a bass, but as an early Christmas present, I bought Studio One Pro 7 and hooked up our Yamaha Clavinova via MIDI. I'm overwhelmed with choices of patches and drums kits! Currently I'm in the process of marking my favorites.
