As a guitarist,I'm glad you''re all here. I now have many a bass player I can collaborate with in the near future Some of the coolest people I know are bass players and I think you know who you are. But in case you don't:
Mudfuzz
Jrmz
Deadsie
i heart you guys

I know I wasn't on that list, but I live close to Alabama if you ever wanna yam.

Thanks! I'm hoping it will feel real nice and play well. y'all know how it is

I have a '78 Musicmaster (well, I have separated the neck and body for other things) with one of those blade pickups in it. It's a pretty sick bass. The neck is pretty hefty, so you shouldn't feel super uncomfortable if you're used to a P neck contour.

And the pickup swap really helps bring back the tone. Mine is like a Dimarzio with crazy amount of output. Easily twice as loud as my Mustang basses.

You'll probably like it. I even love that natural finish, which is usually not my thing.

How do you think this would sound with my GK cab?

When I got my 400+ I tried it through a GK 15 and the GK acted like a dog that had been kicked feeling sorry for it's self.. poor little thing

What kind of cab did you end up with?

There's a dude in OK selling a Mesa cab at a killer price. Problem is it's a 4 hour drive. UGH.

I have a Mesa 1x15 that I use for most stuff It's light, loud, clear, sounds great, really I want another… I also use a SWR 1X18 that I've had for ever… still sounds cool and is massive… I want another one of those two.. damned local pickup only fuckers I don't want a new one! I want one like mine

Found a used Mesa 4x12 Rectifier cab in my local area. Dude only wants 300 for it. Shit it's worth it.

[Jwar]

One thing that confuses me about Mesa though so far is they don't take Speakon cables. Weird.

[Deltaphoenix]

Isn't that a guitar cab?
The rectifier is a guitar head...

[Jwar]

SHIT! I think you're right! Well fuck. Gotta call the guy back. That sucks. I didn't even notice that.

[D.o.S.]

That's not necessarily a deal breaker, jwar.

edit -- speakons, that is.

[Jwar]

Well. My Mesa head doesn't come with a speakon connection either I noticed? Weird as hell. Here's a pic.

[greyscales]

Not having speakon cables is a major plus to me.

Can't fucking stand those things.

Same hurr.

[bigchiefbc]

I never really cared one way or the other about whether I use speak on or normal 1/4".
