belgamrood Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 (edited) hi there new on this forum im from belgium and started playing bass about 1.5 years ago. i used to play guitar in a band with another guitar player and a bassist, but no drummer so we shifted around, bassist became drummer and i picked up the bass kinda fell in love with it, still play guitar by myself though. but in a band the bass rules started out on the old ibanez SG from the old bass player through my randall guitarstack sold the stack and one of my guitars and bought a epi tBird pro on a ashdown little giant 1000 through a markbass CL 610 cab. the ashdown sucked donkeyballs so i sold it. i had the chance to help a guy out with something, he gave me an old trace elliot gp12smx preamp. that thing rocks then i discovered rickenbacker!!! since money dont grow on trees, first i bought a faker, a used jetglo like shine rk 2000nt and immediately sold the tBird the shine played awesome, sounded great (maybe because of the SD pups) after a lot of searching ( theyre not easy to find in belgium) came across a 2008 4003 jetglo through vintage & rare.com. took forever to ship, when it finally arrived i could wait to play it.... f*** the faker, nothing beats the real deal!! sounds like a bass but plays like a guitar.. just what the doctor ordered got myself a ebs valvedrive pedal for some extra dirt some time later, after not liking the boss OD3 this pedal is great went crazy about a month ago and bought a second rick, a 2004 fireglo 4003 and had it setup in full D tuning for my second band got a hold of a marshall DBS7400 set thats giving my some issues ( posted it here, any help is welcome) hope to get it fixed soon and now im officially broke :-) so my setup now is 2008 Rickenbacker 4003 jetglo (with the SD pups from the faker) 2004 RIckenbacker 4003 fireglo ( full D tuning) Trace Elliot AH 350 GP12SMX Markbass CL 610 (modified to 410 + 210, switchable for biamping the Rick) Marshall DBS 7400 head, 2 Marshall DBS 7210 cabs EBS valvedrive pedal Boss TU-3 pedal 1 Stuffed Ferret on the stack Edited May 30, 2012 by belgamrood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
