There’s some amazing clips of fairly young players with great feel , and a joy in playing , she’s a bit busy here but the sense of sheer fun is infectious.

The gnome is on my radar as something to check out , I’m pretty well amped up , but more likely to see an amp than a bass show up on the doorstop. No local dealers. edit it appears there are no Warwick dealers in Canada

It’s been a while , but I’ve played a ton of bike rallies. Never seen any problems , but they self discipline , if anyone acts like an ***hole the hive quickly steps in. I’ve only been told that , never seen any issues.

I should sell a dozen or so.

Old Pbass guy that loves a nice Ric and acquired many of the classics over the years , somehow got hooked on Danelectros. Don’t know just how it happened but I’m ok with it. They weigh next to nothing , sound great and are a heck of a lot of fun to play. Also developing a thing for Gibson short scales.

Check out the Hollywood Fats stuff he did , some more things have been surfacing but they just released one album , and it became such a major influence for so many. Deadly little band. Their classic take of Rock This House …

Welcome Urko , I hope you’ll find what you need to get that amp going. Trace amps are well worth the repair, just make sure whoever does the work is qualified.

I loved Larry Taylor’s Hollywood Fats period!

I watch the local kijiji site like a hawk and have noticed the price creep in private online sales and regular retail , oh there’s the occasional deal , those tend to go quickly , but a surprising amount of things do not seem to be selling right now. I keep seeing the same items being relisted . Usually without any drop in price. And at prices I consider high. I ‘m glad to think there’s nothing I need.

I think it’s the 335 , full scale.

I’m thankful I developed a love for Danelectros.

He was one of the busiest jingle singers in NYC.

Looking forward to throwing the stuff in the car and driving downtown tonight. Harvest Moon weekend , Halifax is a University town and the students are back. Thankfully the old dive I’m in tonight is slightly off the beaten track , and the students will be elsewhere. We’ll see what the night brings.

There’s been times I wish the marketplace was a little closer. Good luck trading ,mac101.

Interest rates have just jumped here , so the cost of debt will rise. I’m thankful the mortgage is paid.

I like those happy pills.

Food and gas too. And bars and restaurants have had an incredibly tough go.

I didn’t realize your question was directed to the OP. Now I don’t know if the present cab the OP is using is 4 or 8 ohm . But I would think a Genzler 350 head would pack some serious wallop. It will do a 2.67 ohm load but would probably run better with a two 8 ohm cab 4 ohm load. You could do a larger cab with a 4 ohm load but I would suggest two smaller 8 ohm cabs might be a better solution. Although my head runs more power I’ve found the modular approach works best for me , I get by for 8 out of 10 gigs with a single cab , but it’s nice to have more when it is needed. I’ve never had to dime my head.

I always gigged a new bass until it paid for itself , and then went back to the old usual. I think I’ve stopped buying basses , but you never know.

I was looking at their site and surprised at the number of higher end instruments. Including a Ric 4005XC ! That Eastwood Combinata was inspired by the designs Paul Barth did for Rickenbacker in the 50’s. I’ve almost bought one several times now , and their prices have certainly risen. Never actually seen one in the flesh. I love a nice music store with some character and depth. And that one fits the bill. And the owners of those little shops tend to be a little odd. All part of the charm.

I bought my music gear with money made playing music . And for years just had an old Pbass , and then began to pick up some other basses. I wasn’t buying exotic boutique , but many are American made premium brands. When I started just about everybody simply bought a Fender bass , for the most part the cheap stuff was awful , and setting up an instrument was personal discovery , there weren’t any luthiers around. There was no internet. Heck , there weren’t even guitar magazines in those days. We used pitch forks to tune up. Tab had not been invented. Most people learned by listening. Many of the early Japanese instruments were not good . And the cheaper American instruments were not much better. That was to change. And is certainly not the case today. But I still can appreciate a historical premium brand , and a vintage one too.
