matski Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 I only bought one thing in 2021, and it was only an amp. And it was only a small one, a measly Fender Rumble Studio 40. Hardly even worth mentioning really... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stub Mandrel Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 I have just given my brother (the folky one) my first proper bass amp, a 150W Laney Pro-Bass head together with a 2x12 cab I made containing a pair of 80W Mackenzie PA speakers. Along with a Phoenix/Celestion 2x12 these were my main gigging rig back in the 90s, and I last used them (for a single gig) in 2019. Despite a massive emotional attachment, having acquired a two practice amps, two heads and three cabs this year (as well as other stuff picked up in the intervening quarter-century) it's good to make some space and see them go to someone who won't just enjoy them but has a good chance of gigging them as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cars are for driving, instruments for playing. And while it's nice to own some stuff as a collector, it's better to drive fast and play loud. 😎 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got a player and it was fine but a bit meh output wise. The ultras look awesome but at nearly 2 grand itll more likely be a sire for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ultras look awesome but at nearly 2 grand itll more likely be a sire for me I love mine, they aren’t cheap for sure but worth it (in my opinion anyway). It isn’t any one thing, they are just a collection of the right parts, with the right quality making a superb Jazz. The pre-amp adds an extra dimension as well. If you already have a player and the only issue is the output then why not look at a pickup change? I have a Squier Jazz that I use when we play certain pubs that are, shall we say, ‘less reputable’. I changed the pickups on it and it sounds very nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ultra does look lovely, as does the Flea active jazz (decisions :)) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
