Which Discontinued Gear Do You Think Needs to Come Back?

[ToneMonkey]

The Leo Quan BadAss II.

I own two, and IMHO, there's nothing special about this bridge, but it has a certain mystique that continues to inflate selling prices on the pre-owned/NOS market. Someone should buy the rights, put it back into production, keep the numbers low so that inventory isn't excessive, and then laugh all the way to the bank.

The fastest way to deaden harmonic complexity on a J bass. I loathe them.

Yamaha PB-1 preamp

 

[Mantis Tobaggan]

Ebony Gibson Thunderbird

Ernie Ball Earthwood bass

 

[Jim Nazium]

The Trace Elliot BLX-130 combo amp. 130 watts and a single 10" speaker. Can't be very loud, right? Wrong, this thing packed a heck of a punch for its size. Something about that band-pass cabinet. It was heavy compared to today's gear (50 or 60 pounds?), but if someone made it today they could probably get it below 40 pounds using a neodymium driver driver and a 500 watt class D / SMPS amp.

Most things Peavey has ever built. Including their stereo chorus guitar amps.

It always amazes me how many great things Fender has made extinct, Genz Benz, SWR, Roscoe Beck basses.

 

[Bunk McNulty]

Invalid Link Removed What was the problem guys? And why do you still have it up on your product list when it's discontinued?

 

[Zooberwerx]

Stupid question but did anybody take over Kubicki manufacturing / operations?

God bless Phil...a real gentleman and sorely missed!

Electro Voice bass cabinets. I can't even find a picture of the carpeted 1x15s I used to have.

(EV-2150M Cab .. sweet sounding vintage)

+1 I had an EV 4X10 cab purchased new back in '93. Sounded great! Wish I still had it.

I agree with the RD Artist, with updated Moog electronics, of course.
