  1. I can see that the fender rumble is all wrong for you, how about a gallien Krueger rb700 head , great for sparkly high end , into a vanderkley cab maybe , very expensive but super accurate and open sounding
  2. I had it on done on a p bass and it transformed it , think changing the break angle over the saddles made it way more resonant
  3. I don't know where that seller would of got that info from, there's a lot of conflicting information online for these basses and I can see an older advert also stating 65-68 but all the legit historys I've seen of Kay instruments don't back this up,the Teisco era kays do have serial numbers but I don't think they can be dated from them as they didn't keep records , a 1965 Kay would be a US made speed bump pickup bass and be worth closer to a grand , your bass is a Taiwanese made Teisco bass , I'm not trying to start an argument or rubbish your bass , looks great and a good price I've got a 1938 Kay upright and a few 60s US Kay bass guitars and have geeked out on Kays for a while but if anyone had one back in the day or has any more info I'm happy to be proved wrong on this https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kay_Musical_Instrument_Company#:~:text=Early history (1890–1931),-Products by Stromberg&text=The Kay Musical Instrument Company,and renamed to Stromberg-Voisinet. https://wesleyguitars.co.uk/2014/03/31/kay-k-20b-bass-guitar-short-scale-rickenbacker-4001-1970s-teisco/
  4. I've got one of these , really fun , pretty sure it's from the 70s though, think Kay's were made in America til the late 60s then they went bust and the name was sold to a distributor and in the early 70s they started putting the name on Asian made basses like this one
  5. Surprised epiphone are going for a pantera sig! TBF I don't know if rex is still in the band? Great band though, huge groove for a metal band IMO I don't wear my t shirts anymore though https://www.theguardian.com/music/2023/jan/26/pantera-shows-cancelled-after-frontmans-nazi-salute-prompts-fan-backlash
  6. Excuse my ignorance but is the profiling thing on bass about going ampless? I get it if it's IEMs and I get it for guitar but a lot of gigs the bass is a DI going foh in front of the amp , sometimes a mic' d or a DI from the amp but IME often not even on big stages with an SVT So would a bassist with a kemper give the engineer an out and get it back in the wedge and the kemper signal go FOH ?
  7. Looks like he uses a Fodera PJ with Aguilar pups
  8. Great amp , had one for a bit , suppose it's heavy and bulky by today's standards though
  9. I agree with the OP to an extent and don't get involved however over on talkbass I see loads of people getting really arsey about someone asking a question when there may already be a thread about it and the tone is often harsh and a bit nasty , I love that on here people will always point a newbie in the right direction
  10. I often fly with a bass for gigs and it's never been checked or cross referenced with what I had when I flew out , can't see why you can't just come back with one ??
  11. Anyone know if there were any 34" scale basses pre fender?
  12. Excuse my ignorance and apologies if all this stuff has posted before but I always thought Leo fender pretty much invented the bass guitar as we know it ( I guess he kind of did) yesterday my mate sent me this ad for this Bud-electro bass https://www.retrofret.com/product.asp?ProductID=9917&name=BudElectro-Serenader-Solid-Body-Electric-Bass-Guitar-c-1940s1960s I then went on a deep dive and it led me to this , it's a fascinating read about Paul and Bud Tutmarc and there part in early electric guitar history https://jivetimerecords.com/northwest/paula-tutmarc/ Here's a 1936 audiovox that was on eBay!!! https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/on-ebay-the-worlds-first-electric-bass-guitar-forgotten-and-made-in-seattle/
