nollaig Posted April 14, 2010 Posted April 14, 2010 Hello there Just a first shot across the bow to say a quick hello. I'm a long term bassist (18 years) just come back to the light after playing guitar and shouting for a few years - I've committed the cardinal sin of spending big-ish money on guitars and and skimped on the bass, a situation which needs to addressed! I'm looking for a few tips on modding and building; to make contacts in the Big Bottom World; and to gain some sagely advice for my big purchase (either a vintage Fender Jazz or an EGC Series One - or both!) which I want to fund by selling a Marshall 4x12 pre-Rola cab which seems to vary wildly in price but is in immaculate condition. In return I can speak at length about horrible cheap basses and good recipes for beef stew/chickpea curry. Rig - current and previous: Selmer Treble n' Bass 50 SV (Selmer Valve) Peavey 100 EPA Power Amp with Tronographic Rusty Box as a preamp 1970 Marshall 1935B basketweave cab with 4x12 Pre-Rola Celestion Greenbacks (dated April 1970...) Electro-Voice B1150M cab (with beautiful original EVM15L driver and 6" vented midrange) H&H Standard solid state Bass Amp H&H PA rig with Boss pre-amp (long gone!) OLP MM2 Stingray copy Epiphone "by Gibson" AccuBass Westone Thunder 1A (Sold!) Tanglewood PBass (stolen) Encore PBass (mists of time) Bottom End I admire (in particular order): Mike Watt - check out the bass spiel [url="http://www.corndogs.org/bigbottompowwow.html"]http://www.corndogs.org/bigbottompowwow.html[/url] Joe Lally (Fugazi) Rick Danko (The Band) David Wm. Sims (Jesus Lizard) Lou Barlow (Dinosaur/Sebadoh etc) Cris Kirkwood (Meat Puppets) Tim Midgett (Silkworm/Bottomless Pit) Brian Ritchie (Violent Femmes) Clint Conley (Mission of Burma) Quote
