Telebass

Never thought I'd live to do this out of choice, but since I've had this bass, and I've tweaked it to suit, it's become my 'go-to' bass. It's a parts Jazz that I traded for with Lee - Rasta of this parish - and although it has an Allparts 'chunky' profile neck, it's just wonderful. I have a non-chunky Jazz neck on the Precision, and that too is great, but this one is just somehow special! I'll stop maundering now, and go out and play another whole gig with it! (At the Arundell Arms in Lifton, Devon, if you're interested - it'll be a belter!)

Fwiw my CIT '62 RI P-bass has the usual wimpy Fender bridge but has bags of sustain - probably more to for with the timber used? [/quote] Very likely not true - the traditional BBOT is entirely sufficient. Badass II = not worth it. However, if you've a two-saddle string-through, then a Badass III (if you can find one) can be a good upgrade.

There will be plenty along to say keep it because it's a tube amp. KT88s! Glorious! But I wouldn't gig one for double what I get now. Just too heavy. My amp weighs 6.5lbs - just right. However... My favoured rig for keeping in the corner at home would be a silverface Fender Bassman 50 with 2x13, preferably with D140Fs inside!

We've even been told that when we were seen earlier setting up gear that the punters thought we were the band's Dads !! [/quote] Yup, been there, been told that. In the last few weeks!

Welcome!

Both the Geddy Lee and Marcus Miller IV are now Mexican (014xxxx numbers).

I've just got ACS T3s (single driver) and there's no lack of bass that I can hear!

In-ear monitors, custom fittted.

Just took delivery of a set of ACS T3 IEMs. All I can say is - WOW! 26dB isolation and hi-fi sound, absolutely amazing! This should stop any worsening of my (already pretty bad) tinnitus. Result!

Now, that's rather good!

'66 tuners:- Ovals Butterbeans Paddles Lollipops.... Any more?
