Scorchin Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 Hey, I'm 18. Been playing the French horn since I was 11, only recently turned my hand to bass. Will be a year since I picked it up this September! I play through a Fender Squier Affinity P-Bass into a Laney RB-1. Effects: Boss ODB-1, SYB-5. On a totally different note, overwater#1 I want that Trace Elliot GP11 1x15 combo! Any chance you'd sell it? Scorchin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muse_Cubed Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 (edited) I've almost completed my rig now which I can safely leave alone for a few years and not worry about spending money wishful thinking? Bass - 1995 Pedulla Rapture RB5 I've got a Warwick Streamer $$ on the way (ebony fretboard) Board (getting a DHA VT2 soon, possibly a SubDecay Noise Box) Amp (I look so young in that photo) *sigh* if only my parents had raised me to be a minimalist...been playing for what, 4 years pretty much. Time flies. Ick. Edited August 14, 2007 by Muse_Cubed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Funk Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 How do you guys afford all this? For the first 9 years, I just had one $300 4-string MIM Fender Jazz Standard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you hear about boutique instruments for Christmas and Birthdays Having said that, if I had kids; I would definitely fork out for a decent upright. That is to say I would invest in something very musically demanding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamiepyrite Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 (edited) Schecter custom body with Shuker clear refinish. Active EMGs used by Steve Lawson for years And a beautiful Shuker wenge neck, danish oiled, with a birdseye maple fretboard. I love it. I've been playing about 4 years and in that time I've always searched for the perfect bass for me and that is it. EDIT: It doesn't have those horrid blue strings anymore.. They were terrible strings.. I'll take some better pictures when I get some good light. Edited August 14, 2007 by jamiepyrite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spikyhedgehog Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 (edited) I'm 18. I've had a Warwick Stage 1 and the Beast (as in avatar) since I was 16. All bought for by myself through buying and selling through gear. Also money via various internet schemes (if anyone is interested ask, I won't explain them as I'll get flamed.) And of course money through hard work. Current job I get £7 an hour and double time on weekends. Work 8 - 4.30 every day and whatever I like on the weekends. It's brilliant! Currently funding looking to fund my Gap Year that will take me skiing for 5 months and then to Africa for 4, all from money off my own back. It's not actually that difficult to find money if you work for it (my opinion). Although saying that I don't have anyone depending on me and I do still live at home so have to thank my dad for that! Even with the increased council tax now I've turned 18! Edited August 16, 2007 by Spikyhedgehog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tech Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 16 years old. old pic =] but still rocking that bass. also playing a Fernandes 5 string. in the market for a Rickenbacker too =] amp is an Ampeg head through warwick cabs (a 12" and a 15") although i'm trading the cabs for a trace elliot 4x10 from the new range. I started work on my birthday, literally, the day I turned 16, and I haven't stopped since. So before anyone bitches that I'll be playing a rick and a stingray whilst I'm 16, that's cold hard money that I worked to get for myself, same as the money I bought my clothes with, and the money that's gonna buy me my car. My parents are kind enough to make me meals, give me a roof, and all the rest - i don't expect more from them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tait Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 (edited) I'm 14 and have been playing 2 or 3 years so I'm not really a beginner, but I'm a teenager. My main bass is an Ibanez Soundgear 500 and I also play a Squier/Fender jazz that I'm doing up. My Soundgear's just a soundgear but my Jazz is cool. I bought it off Neepheid with bartolinis and a preamp not long ago, and I'm making changes. [attachment=1842:my_bass.jpg] All I've changed atm is add a Fender Precision neck, BADASS II and chrome knobs and I'm thinking pearl scratchplate.
