  1. Hi all, I'm in Texas, and have a '98 neck thru 4, which I bought new. I think I played maybe two gigs with it. I've experienced all the traits mentioned, with mine. I also have a '98 Martin B15-E, an '83 Rickenbacker 4003 Netflix, and a few more, but they never get used. My baby is a '94 Peavey Fury, I gave $130 U.S. for, in a pawn shop near Atlanta, Ga. I had to disassemble it, and buy a Wal-Mart suitcase,wrapping it in dirty clothes to get it home on the plane. I gave around $1700 U.S. for it new. That bass the OP is talking about .......how much or little is that in U.S. dollars? new Also bought a new Aguilar DB 359, and the 2 x 12 cab for it about the same time. Never have used it. We use IEMs now. I'll probably wind up selling some of that extra gear later. After almost 25 years, covid may be the demise of our band.
  2. I had been using a Hartke kickback 12", which I believe is around 140w or so. Deep cab, clear, projects far into a big space, but 42lbs. I still have it, but looking for something lighter. I bought a Galien Kruger microbes 150. 150w, 12", many features, @23lbs. I used it on a tilt back stand for a few years. This amp seems to break up and disappear in the mix, compared to the Hartke. I believe it's because of the depth of the cabs more than anything. The MB150 has 4band parametric EQ, effects loop, and DI out, so you can use it as a monitor. We've since gone digital with a Behringer X-air 18 board, and in-ears, so no more noise or furniture onstage. Yippee! I still use both small amps for playing with the CD player, etc. Consider the Galien Kruger MB 150.
  3. Hi all, we are not a copy or tribute band, but there are a few copy tunes I have never liked, because I thought we couldn't make them sound even decent, but the crowds loved. Just one of the things that amaze me. Sometimes, you just gotta smile, and play thru the song like you meant it to sound that way, and hooe for the best response I guess.
