tauzero Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 Happy with the Warwick 4-stringses. Happy with number 1 fretted Tsai 5-string and with Tsai 7-string, the defretted one and number 2 fretted need some work, and the 6 needs completing. Happy with the Superfly. The 2x10 sounds good but has poor sensitivity. The AX3000B should do me for effects, and if it doesn't I've got a V-Amp and an RFX-2000 to play with too. Only true GAS is for a speaker and a 5-string fretless. When I get myself revved up sufficiently, building a pair of Omni 10.5s should sort the first out, and a bit of work on the neck of the defretted Tsai should sort out the latter.

Spikeh Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 I'm almost there... I like everything I have, my main bass is sweet as hell and my rig is righteous. I just need to make the cab easier to carry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilbo Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 I'm good. The SWR/GK hybrid is working for jazz trios and the Eden for louder gigs. The Wal is perfect for me and has been for a long time now. My only GAS would be to exchange my Status Energy Artist 6 for a 6-string fretless, just to try one out. I am working on my mind at the moment! That's far harder to change! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

molan Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 [quote name='Josh' post='294636' date='Sep 29 2008, 04:19 PM']as of the last 3 or more months I've been constantly happy with everything in regards to bass. almost every day now and has been for the last 2 months specifically.[/quote] Yeah, but that's only because you've bought a new 6 String & a swapped a cab in that time - give another 3 months & then tell us how you're getting on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Protium Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 Can't complain... Basswise can't ask for more, decent amp with a PROPER EQ, selection of pedals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHRISDABASS Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 For once in my life i am actually happy!! (been through about 10 basses this year) Since getting my Sadowsky's nothing has caught my eye/ear at all! they just nail it every time! like yesterday i turned up for a session not knowing what to expect! I'd never worked with this guy before and hadn't even heard the track but i just DI"d my Metro UV70 and it totally nailed every sound required! The producer was like "wow! it really is a pleasure to listen to you play!" how could i ask for any more than that? Every time i try to doubt these basses they just get better! The best part is they're starting to give me the confidence to turn up to the session/rehearsal/gig and get the job done without constantly worrying about my sound like i used to! that meens i can concentrate on my playing instead of my gear and i can actually start havin some fun!! and thats what its all about! right??

The Burpster Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 ME........ I'm 100% happy with what I've got...... Might be a small change of staff on the horizon but only for more of what I already have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4000 Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 The last time I was happy with my gear, playing etc was when I got my '72 4001. Through my Trace AH150 (original series) and 4x10 (likewise) it was the sound I'd always had in my head; the old band was playing a lot, I was in great physical shape, was playing for hours a day, was on top of my game in all ways except in terms of theory. When my back problems started I had to sell the rig and I've never been happy with my sound since. None of the lightweight solutions I've played so far have "my" sound. I hardly get any practice in now for reasons many and varied, my back and neck appear fairly knackered and I now seem incapable of making my right arm do exactly what it's supposed to for a whole set, the band I'm in struggles to get gigs (and appears to be cursed in terms of personal disasters!), you name it, it's crap. In fact recently I was beginning to struggle with the concept of playing at all as all it seemed to do was make me miserable. Still, we plod on, hoping for a light at the end of the tunnel. That's my happy post for the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilb Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 (edited) Happy 100% at last. Just bought a 70s Classic Jazz bass. [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?s=&showtopic=28783&view=findpost&p=297045"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?s=&sho...st&p=297045[/url] Played last nite through my Trace stack. THAT sound just blew me away. Even those at the back of the clubhouse said the bass hit them in the chest. You know its right when you hit that B note on the E string, makes yer ribs flex...............ahhhhh!

M4L666 Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 Want a new bass (other than my beginner one), more/different rig (other than a L6 Bass PODXT and a cr@ppy no-name amp) and more stuff in general. Not much expendable income as of yet . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LukeFRC Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 well i was perfectly happy.... then last month somebody on here was selling a dream bass it was all change. 1983 JV Fender 'Squier series' '57 P bass -------> Hughes and Kettner QT600 --------> tech soundsytemns ct2000 2x12 I also have a home built fretless and a lovely Warwick 1991 SS1 and a takamine g**** sitting around for variation. What i want is to actually play them more... and in a proper band again! oh and a few new jack to jacks..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xilddx Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 I am completely smitten with my Vette $$, and my POD X3 Live. But I am really not sure about my Fender Jazz Special fretless. In fact I was barking and squeaking about it to my insignificant other a couple of nights ago, and she said she would buy me a Warwick fretless if I can get my overdraft down to zero. Now that's an incentive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreeneKing Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 (edited) Mrs Terri Tinman hey Me I'm totally sorted. My ACG Harlot, LMII and 2 x Aguilar GS112's (one NH) do it for me very well thank you. A decent fretless is something I aspire to play though. Peter Edited March 3, 2009 by GreeneKing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
risingson Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 Are the GS112's decent GreeneKing? I was going to get one for smaller gigs and alike... can't lump the Eden 410XLT everywhere! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete.young Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 Well, not really. I need a 5 but don't particularly want one, so I need to find one that I really REALLY want to play. If that makes sense.

I'm 100% happy with my old Thumb, but I need a 5, so it would have to be an early year Thumb 5, and I'd have to shift my current Thumb to fund it, and I don't wanna! I'm going to keep playing anything that involves the low notes with an OC-2 and pretend I didn't hear anyone who tells me I should get a 5.
