Yeah it's definitely like 3 bassists to 1 guitar player. The opposite of just about every forum except TalkBass.

It's cool, us lame guitarists are a dime a dozen. Good bass players are rare and awesome! :lol:

Their solid state stuff sucks and their tube stuff is way outta his (and my) range. But I do too.


I got a V4b in excellent condition for $550 last year. :idk:

Also, I played through a few of these older-looking units sporting what appeared to be a VU Meter and a simple large-slider-equipped graphic EQ. No idea what brand/model. They were pretty neat - if you see something like that, try it out.


I can second that V4 recommendation, they sort of slipped my mind.

p much the blueprint for the perfect bass head.

hartke makes quality stuff, and i think Larry still does the "call me any time to talk about stuff" thing which was pretty cool. real nice guy, i called him before i bought my Hartke.

Hey man, just because you like young boys to sit on your lap doesn't mean I'd be down. There are other forums for that kind of stuff.

Also, learn grammar.

I've got a now discontinued Hughes & Kettner Quantum 600 head. Also, a Laney Klipp 100, which is my age. Both amps are nothing short of awesome.
