DeeBassist Posted March 15, 2012 Posted March 15, 2012 (edited) This is more a curiosity question than anything. I don't know, I just enjoy hearing about what equipment different players, and why they use it. So yeah, fire away, what equipment do you use? Amps, guitars, effects, anything! If anyone actually cares, here's my bass and my amp. Edited September 7, 2013 by DeeBassist Quote
Truckstop Posted March 15, 2012 Posted March 15, 2012 We have a 'Show us your rig!' thread in the gear Porn thread. It's 100+ pages and you will emerge with huge GAS!!! Truckstop Quote
thisnameistaken Posted March 15, 2012 Posted March 15, 2012 The first amp I ever owned was a Laney just like the one in your photo. I attached castors to the bottom and took it to gigs on the bus. Sounded really awful. Quote

DeeBassist Posted March 15, 2012 Author Posted March 15, 2012 I've decided: I like the gear porn section. Quote
BigRedX Posted March 15, 2012 Posted March 15, 2012 There's a lot of people like yourself who list the gear they use in the signatures so a browse through a selection of threads in this forum and the general Bass Guitars forum should reveal plenty. However I have something which IMO is far important in my sig - a link to my music. Quote

I guess that just means I take up an annoying amount of space. With that in mind, have a font size reduction and losing one line Quote
Gust0o Posted March 15, 2012 Posted March 15, 2012 I'm pretty much endorsed by Bic. They're me biro of choice. Quote

I could buy the budget one and upgrade it gradually. Quote

My Bic was made in France, and I'm really glad I made the step up. The action is very smooth. Quote
paul_5 Posted March 15, 2012 Posted March 15, 2012 I've got a couple of Behringer Biros They're alright for now, until I can afford something better, and they seem to break every time I step on them. Quote

[/quote] I thought I'd go for trusty and reliable so went for some Peavey Biros. But like with most things Peavey they weigh a bloody tonne. It causes great mirth at work as I walk along slouched to one side trying to counter the weight of my pens stuffed into my shirt pocket. And my back..... Quote
Ben Jamin Posted March 15, 2012 Posted March 15, 2012 (edited) Biro? Pfft, I use a vintage Fender quill and inkpot. They got it right the first time. A bit roadworn but not too bad for an all-original - besides it has that unmistakeable classic vintage Fender output. Don't try to fix what isn't broken! Edit: Oh yeah on topic! I use a Warwick 5-string $$ Corvette, a cable that works and a soon-to-arrive Matamp hybrid head and 1x12 cab Plus an old Eko SG with '70s Gibson humbuckers and Bigsby into a poor little Fender Sidekick Reverb That Squire Jazz you have looks ace, a friend of mine has one and it sounds/plays amazing!

paul_5 Posted March 15, 2012 Posted March 15, 2012 (edited) Yeah, back to the OP my stuff is something like this: Blade B15 and 'vaJazzle' fretless, Sansamp BDDI -> Ampeg SVP1500 -> Hartke Hydrive 410. There's a few effects in the middle, but they're in a perpetual state of ebb and flow. Generally there's a couple of distortions/fuzzes, octave, chorus, filter etc...
