    [quote name='Prime_BASS' post='1229704' date='May 13 2011, 10:03 AM']So it's early 90s, a MIJ and seafoam green/surf green.

    My guess would be a 62reissue. The strip towards the bridge and bridge pickup along with the screw hole above the neck pickup gives it away plus the pickups definatly look 60s spacing.[/quote]
    I'd agree it's probably a JB62 reissue, presumably non-export given the colour?

    Whatever, it's very nice, [i]very [/i]nice indeed! :)

    What does your Year Of Birth bass look like?

    Bass Guitar Amps - query posted on Singletrackworld

    Anybody care to add anything to this discussion?

    [url="http://www.singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/bass-guitar-amps"]http://www.singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/bass-guitar-amps[/url]

    [i][color="#0000FF"]Any body got any recommendations for a separate bass amp and cab system for a band where the lead and rhythm guitarists are using 100 watts each? Playing mostly rock towards the metal end of the spectrum and using a 4 string Ibanez SDGR that cost about £350 when new. [/color][/i]

    I'll assume you won't want to join the middle-aged-IT-bod-mountain-biking world of STW, so post any responses here, and I'll link it across! :)

    Not in a band, and never have been (although that could change if my mate the ex-drummer I was nattering to on Friday gets his act together!). :)

    As for basses, I've got the three I acquired back in the mid-to-late 1990s when I was jamming regularly with a mate from work (Musicmaster, '51 P reissue and '60s Jazz reissue), and the two Squiers I've acquired since finishing work in 2008 (a VMJ and a CVJ).

    I've got TI JF324s (.43 - .106) on my old Musicmaster. No problems with the neck, although being TI's they're pretty low tension anyway. As you can see, they also aren't quite a perfect fit - both the E and A strings are a wee bit too long, and the windings wrap round the posts (the E by a whole turn, the A by about three-quarters)...

    Anyone played a LowEnd Bass?

    [quote name='molan' post='1108825' date='Jan 30 2011, 10:33 PM']The sound he has at the beginning of the clip is pretty much exactly how I think of LowEnds sounding based on review stuff I've read :lol:

    I did wonder about the T-Bird as a gospel bass, lol.

    [b]I've got a bit of a 'blues corridor' trip coming up, could be dangerous - Nashville, Memphis, Clarksdale, Vicksburg, New Orleans. Will probably add some more stops in the delta before we hit NO :D[/b]

    The Gibson factory tour is on the list, luckily I don't like their basses very much![/quote]
    Did a similar trip with a couple of mates about 15 years ago now. We all loved Nashville and Memphis, Clarksdale and Vicksburg were *interesting*, while N'awlins was sadly just like Blackpool, but with better food. We still chuckle about a few things that happened, like the lass serving in the Wendy's (IIRC) in Clarksdale who asked whether we were a band, bless 'er - unfortunately my mate told her it would be a very sad band if it had us in it, so we didn't get to sign any autographs (or get free burgers :) ). In the parking lot outside, we then got accosted by a couple of folks who, after checking the plates on the hire car, proudly declared "Ah, North Carolina, we thought we recognised the accent!". So, North Carolinians obviously speak broad Lankyshire... :) Finally in Vicksburg, can't remember the name of the bar, but they served the biggest, hottest, most awesomest Buffalo Wings I have ever eaten. Oh, and when a spot of trouble broke out in the parking lot, the barmaid reached under the bar and brought out what definitely appeared to us to be a genuine Luger pistol. Things quietened down pretty quickly... :P

    Have a great time!!!
