what am i missing

play more basses and amp configurations...you will never know what you are missing until you figure out what you want from your rig...I personally don't like to pigeon hole myself into one sound, and therefore have a few different options. My go to rig is a jazz bass through an AG head and DB cab, so i know if I am going to a first rehearsal with a group i would bring that first and foremost...then determine based on what the group is looking to accomplish musically if i have a bass or amp configuration that works better for the music. Get what you want first, and then start collecting if you can.
