My custom made 64 4001s/1999...Dale Fortune

I have a jazz with TI flats ,the silver midget,no horn sounds fine for small gigs,did not like it for bigger ones so bought a super twin which is great,before that I bought the 10 to go with the midget 12 but I did not like that.I did ab the midget and 10 at a small gig and though maybe the 10 had a little more bass but the guys in the band from where they were thought the midget did.From the point of view re size the 10 is small and I put it in a drum carry bag.Will keep the midget and sell the 10 but really both sound nice....for small gig ,no pa support

I have had 3 original 54-56 p basses and preferred them over the 58 and 59 gold guard blonde neck p basses,although a real banged up 59p gold guard slab board I had was a corker best sounding p bass I have ever played ,it really did look like shite 🙈

I used a V4 through the matching Trace 4 x12 for years and loved it,until I retired and lost the work van.I am down to 1 V4 from 3 and even though I am not using it at present I can’t talk myself into letting it go

The annoying thing is I sold a 62 ri a few weeks back and there was a set in the case,never used.I have an original set I took off in the case but unfortunately I have to keep them with the bass

One only for sale at gbase $10

I have seen ri ones for sale for not very much money.

I use an old jazz with TI flats tone rolled off..I bought a used midget in pristine condition,did a small gig ,noise issues,(a)and sounded great.The next gig (b) was bigger,it was loud enough but felt it did not have enough depth for me.Next up was a one 10 so added it to the midget ,this gig (c)is pretty loud and I did not like it as much as my Schroeder 1212L that I have used there for years .Then I bought a Super twin used it for gigs b and c,I could not be happier, actually I think it’s awesome.So this week back to gig (a) I used the midget for the first set ,sounded great,used the 10 for the second set and did not find a great deal of difference ,possibly the 10 was a little deeper but overall I think the midget won by a small margin so the one 10 will eventually get sold off.Have to say it again that Super beats any cab I have played and I worked 20 years in a music shop before retiring and have been playing over 50 years

Yes,Pyramid gold ,40-105 From memory,just a little bit more tension.

I have TI flats on my 3 jazz basses,with tone rolled off,could not gel with the La Bella sound wise, but really liked the Pyramid strings if I wanted a higher tension

We always described a bass like that as “ baby poo brown”

I balance on a bar stall now,legs don’t get anywhere near as tired ,started out just on quiet Sunday arvo gigs,then just progressed to the night time bigger gigs,no one has ever said anything or cared

I look at it this way,if you have a v8 motor car it cruises at 100 mph a little mini might do 100 mph but it sure would not be cruising.Providing your speakers are not distorting it just lets your amp “cruise” rather than pushing it to its max.Hope that helps

I finally got a 10 to go with my midget,would like to get another midget if one ever turns up, the 10 breaks up way before the midget so I don’t think 2 x10s would be suitable / loud enough for me,will know once I get some gigs under my belt with no pa support

Used the Daddario half rounds for about 40 years,different gauges depending on the bass,now have TI flats on all my basses

my 62 slab jazz

my 64 j,its a bit beat,3 tone sburst and tort guard

I ok with any finish as long as it’s “original finish”
