For me ... It all depends on what type of music I’m playing.

I have Alembic, Musicman (both Ernie Ball and pre-Ernie Ball), Gibson, Fender, Rickenbacker, Guild, Sire, Sadowsky, Lakland, Martin, Godin, Pedulla, and Peavey basses. They’re all different, and it just depends on what I’m doing at the time.

However ....

My go to basses are the Laklands I own. I can cover just about any genre with them. Same goes for my Alembics, believe it or not.

 

[RolandMHall]

LAKLAND

Fender and EBMM for basses, GK for amps.

For amps, it’s Genz Benz and Genzler, with a little Phil Jones Bass thrown in for practice amps.

Been an Ibanez guy since 2004. I was a Warwick guy for about 22 minutes in 2014 until I saw the price tag, then I was back to Ibanez.

I can think of one example, where Company A decided to pull one line of their product here in the USA, replacing it with something 'new and improved' for our consumption... yet, the original product is still produced and available overseas...

"New improved Coke" never got to here, AFAIK. I remember seeing the announcement on BBC and going "what are they thinking?"

"New improved Coke" never got to here, AFAIK. I remember seeing the announcement on BBC and going "what are they thinking?"

The word was Europe, or parts, would keep getting Zero, and the 'new/improved' version would be rolled out in the USA...

... as a result, ginger ale is now in the fridge... I did try the new version, and it's not Zero, repackaged...

Ah, I was thinking of 1985. Aspartame brings its own troubles. 7-Up Free is about the only decent one I can think of.

Oh, Jim Reed (but if I sold everything for one it'd be EB Sterling 5 w/maple neck)
I'd like my CMI Marshall 100W back (my fault)
Elites SS

So as not to derail
