ChrisDev Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 (edited) Yep, a Vigier Passion II custom 6-string from 1991. Never played anything else until I discovered Fbass And yes, my rig is as tall as myself It just happened. First I had a Hartke 3500 with the Goliath 4x10, but I didn't get the deep lows I wanted, so I bought the 1x15 Then someone sold his Mo'Bass and I just couldn't resist. He had used it twice! On stage I often noticed "noise" through my speakers. Apparently it was caused by the (dimmer) spotlights, so I bought the Phonic PowerConditioner, but that didn't fit in my flightcase (3U for the mo'bass and 1U for the tuner)...well I had to buy a second flightcase On the other hand.... it took me 15 years to get to this monster As mentioned, when I have the money and after I buy myself a Lefay or second Fbass (maple instead of Macassar), I will replace the cabs with a 1x15 and a 2x10 Hevos Edited June 22, 2008 by friz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does sound very clear & clean with plenty of definition Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve-soar Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Oh no, shed envy. Does the ESP on the left have LED's? I know it's a garage but to a bloke, it's still a shed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budget bassist Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Sweet ESP there man, i like the colour on the LTD too, i really want one, any tips on where to get a cheapy one other than the bay? GAK stopped doing them now, they had them REALLY cheap for a while too Also i think those are LEDs because when you zoom in they're red.
