If I'm going to be stuck on an island playing bass...
...ain't gonna be IEMs or a combo. I'm gonna lay it down until passing ships complain.

Nice practice amp.

 

[Stewie]

My old fretless P bass, a Peavey TNT 130(because it will never die) for my accessory, can I bring my wife along? Cuz if I can’t, I ain’t going.

You will be required to perform a one hour gig every night.

Is there going to be an audience at this gig? What’s the pay? Otherwise, I don’t see a reason to hang out on a desert island with three other musicians.

Many islands have electricity

I’ve been using my desert island rig for going on 10 years now: my old Warwick R&B and my GK Mk1 500MB combo amp. They’ve never failed me on any size stage, in rain and crazy sunshine, or any style of music. The amp is light and loud and the bass is perfectly balanced in terms of both sound and weight.

If my rig were a person, I’d have married it instead of my wife

A rant on the term "Practice amp".

A desert island rig, for a desert island gig?
I'd rather have a sailboat with a boom and a jib.

 

[Michael Stanley 2112]

Where would I access electricity to use this rig?

Bass- Any. Rig- Any. Accessory-

Are you asking hypothetically?

I wonder…..what would it look like if they were actually asking HYPERthetically?

 

[Luther]

I'm just hoping the other musicians are female.

 

[BuddhaFingas]

A closed-back amp cab big enough to lay down in and a bass shaped like a canoe paddle.

1960's Barbara Eden is the perfect accessory. Cant improve on that.

 

[NathOBX]

Pbass and an SVT, a good strap would be nice.

 

[gmarcus]

Bass: G&L JB5 Empress modified to accept a slinger strap (with the strap) strung with TI jazz flats
Amp: GK Legend 1200, Barefaced super twin (with tweeter)
Accessory: Tuner (with an Allen wrench to adjust the truss rod taped to the back)

I'm on a reality show?

Forget about a bass rig, my only request is a cyanide pill and a glass of water.
