I have had a fair few basses... but ive only ever sold one! I like a lotta different things, if they all serve a certain purpose (ie. the Gibson for phat thumps, the rick for trebley goodness, the Fender P w/ flats for bluesy stuff) then im happy. I only have real GAS for one bass in particular now, and thats just another Rick, as I know if I sold all the rest of my basses (God forbid) I know the one I really couldnt do without, and suits me the best, is the Ric. Hence having two of them makes kinda sense. lol
Ive had a LOT of amps that ive moved on over the years though. Its only been since I got my SVT and SVT610 that ive been truly happy with the tone. The problem with it is that it stands rather tall and is rather heavy... if you could get that tone (and volume!!!) in a smaller package with less speakers... someone could make a lot of money out of it... would like to give Alex's stuff a run out one of these days
