Sparrowfall - Brian Eno

To illustrate the point - pic of my first bass rig put together after a couple of bass-less decades raising kids, moving between jobs etc. Fender Bassman 135 with no-name 1x15 PA cab. More overhang than a Bingo Granny's muffin-top.......

Day Tripper - Les Beatles

Tangerine - Led Zep

Einstein a go-go - Landscape

I think everyone on here belongs to the Peavey BW115 ex-owners club! Mine fell out of a moving van and still worked fine. Mesa RR 115 EV is still my go-to cab, along with matching RR 210 EV. Heavy yes, but pretty compact even by modern standards.

Smooth - Santana

Ignoring my bitsas (as the missus tries to....), my longest keeper bass was also my cheapest - I think I paid £200 around 20 years ago. Factory fretless Ovation Magnum 1. It probably wouldn't be seen as a budget bass now, but nobody wanted them then. I'm lucky enough to also own a Wal mk 1 custom fretless and Kramer 450B fretless, but if I had to go down to one - it would be the Ovation staying.

Wasn’t she the hottie in the fabulous “Faster pussycat, kill, kill!” ? Anyway - ‘Twas on the good ship Venus - anon. rugby song

Mesa’s are lovely; either the Powerhouse or (my choice) the older EV-loaded Diesels. Not light though.

Ticket to the moon - ELO

Rip her to shreds - Blondie

The needle and the damage done - Neil Young

Thanks Cosmo - it was actually your post on the “Basses you see and want” thread that induced me to post on here - when I saw the pic in your post, just for a split sec I thought “Hey - that’s my bass............oh - no it’s not” All Alembics are incredible instruments, but for me the original series 1 & 2’s are the classiest. I dithered and lost on a Distillate with flamed koa top FS on here a couple of years back - still kick myself

Songs from the wood - Jethro Tull

Looking for the heart of Saturday night - Tom Waits

Black Man Ray - China Crisis

Lol, not so far - I'm just at the southern border of Powys. Worth a trip to God's country just for the mountain air and a pint or two of Felinfoel!

Life from a window - The Jam
