    I had a B120 head in the 90’s but found it lacking.  Unfortunately my young uneducated self didn’t understand the weak link was the Crate cab it was paired with.

    They seemed to have been the choice of Amps for bassists in Reggae bands We shared gigs with in the 80s - 90s. Sounded great with big cabs

    I have to say that JC was probably my biggest inspiration to play bass ( and of course I loved Grace Slick). Listen to the bass on the live version of Somebody To Love from the Bless It's Pointed Little Head album*.

    Here it is Played by Jack on a Jack.

    Happy Birthday Today Jack

    You go and see a favourite artist live and come away seriously disappointed.

    I'm also a big Martin Simpson fan and once saw him at Folk by The Oak with some American guy. Too much of him and not enough of MS. 

    Oh I saw that gig. It was Dom Flemons (ex Carolina Chocolate Drops). I thought they were great, the spoons n bones went well with Martin's banjo tunings.  

    Added: I didn't like that Jim Moray's band everyone seemed to be raving about!

    One of these has caught my eye now for a while. Have a question for owners, are the 3 point bridges on these as bad as I have read in someplace's? Could do without having to upgrade.

    The bridge on mine is fine? I see no problem?

Listen to the bass on the live version of Somebody To Love from the Bless It's Pointed Little Head album*. Now back to the bass, ignore the colours, if you can, what makes this a great bass? I know the Tone circuit is unique but Gibson/Epiphone are not renowned for their bass pups. Tell me what I am missing.

    Oh wow I just listened to it again.

     

    I think You will find that Jack used a Guild Starfire modified by the early incarnation of Alembic for that album (and most of that time period ). He didn't use a Gibson until the 80's. But He would of sounded great playing anything...

    Like someone said the Epi JC is a really good very reasonably priced usable Bass
