Title: What are yall playing on?
Post by: BassbyGrace on July 01, 2004, 09:40:09 PM
Just thought Id inquire about what everyones jamming on these days.  This would be a good way to learn about other equipment we may not have checked out.  I know Im always on the search for different stuff.  Im currently playing on a 5 string Warwick Corvette and a 6 string Ken Smith with a SWR Combo rig.  Also, does anyone use any effects boxes,  compressors, etc?  I dont know much about those, but I want to learn.  

By the way, Im Steve and Ive been playin for about 15 yrs.  Just thought I'd holla since Im new around the site.  Be blessed!

I'm playing on a Squier MB-5 %-string bass, playing through a 60w Fender Bassman amp( I hate it!!).
To bassbygrace:
I also use the bp80 multieffects pedal from Digitech, and a dedicated compression pedal "Bass Squeeze" also from digitech. I get a lot of crazy looks when I play using echoes or harmony from my pedal, but I love it!!!!

Be Blessed!

Title: my bass equipment
Post by: Davelong on July 16, 2004, 11:40:54 AM
A 5 string MTD (Ken Tobias) and a four string Spector (pre-Kramer).  I use Eden amplification, but I'm not sure that's what I really want.  (I've also burned out the tweeter, so I'm not getting a full spectrum sound, so maybe my judgment is a bit unfair to my Eden equipment.)

Here's my bass rig:
Fender Jazz bass MIM 4-string fretted and fretless (the fretless has flatwounds to sound like an acoustic).  For amps, I use an SWR super redhead 2x10 @350W (not entirely sure on that--it's my dad's amp).  At home I use a Fender Bassman 25.

Title: My gear also
Post by: yamahabass on October 25, 2004, 11:52:01 AM
8) After playing the guitar for about 13 years I pick-up the bass about 8 years ago. I had an Ibanez Roadstar that I gave away to a friend for a mixer.  About 5 years ago I pick up a yamaha 4 string and loved it although I did not like the older Fender Bassman 60. 3 years ago I traded the 4 for a 5 and pick up an Ampeg BA115. I would like to go for the Fender Bassman400 or the Ampeg BA210. As far as effects are concerned, I still can't get into them. On the guitar I do like a little grind, dlay, and chorus.

I'm currently playing a Schecter Stiletto Elite 5; I've had it about a year.  It's got EMG HZ pickups and active electronics.  I like it a lot.  I've fallen in love with the EMG's; I'm about have some EMG PJ's put in my Alvarez.  
I've come to the personal conclusion you can't beat active electronics...

Hey everybody!
My name is myles...

I have been playing bass for about 3 years and I am currently stationed in Iraq playing for the Talil AB Gospel Choir

I have Epiphone Les Paul Std Bass,
an Ibanez SRX 500, and
a G&L L-2500 (tribute) 5-string which is by far my favorite.  It is strung up with Thomastik Infeld flatwounds -- that are working real well with the smoother Smallwood and Coley-type cuts.  I use an ashdown 12" combo to practice with at home and my church has 2 active Fender Jazz basses and a Hartke 12" something or other that I use as an on-stage monitor, but I always come out of the house system as well, so I dont know how good it actually sounds.  You all have some nice gear!

I have an '02 Warwick Corvette 5 and I play through an Eden Metro Combo at Church.  I have a Fender Rad Bass amp at home that I use as a practice amp, (which by the way I haven't been doing enough of lately).  I also have a Digitech BP 200.  I use DR Hi Beam strings most of the time.

Before I got my upgraded amp I used to use that Bass Exciter pedal. It gives you much more bottom and top and its also a DI box.

Austin5: Is your bass active or passive?

Title: The Gear I Use
Post by: fClef07 on January 13, 2005, 09:42:04 PM
I have been playing (seriously) for 2 years.
My first bass was a fender jazz knockoff that get alot of compliments for its phat sound, its a four string.
Most recently I acquired a 6 string carlo robelli. I use a bp200 with it mostly to enhance my 60watt amp. The bp makes the sound thorough plus adds a great contour. It also allows for some variety when I need a different sound.
I am still getting used to 6 strings, I want to try a 5 string for a while to really see what I prefer. But I am sold out on the bp200. :lol:

Post by: RyShawn on January 14, 2005, 12:50:15 AM
I've been playing seriously for about a year and a half, and things have finally started to come together for me. I'm now at the point where I need better gear. I currently play a Squire MB-5. For a $200 bass it really sounds good, but it's passive and and is not loud. Overall, it's a good starter five string. My other bass is a Fender four string that needs a new neck. I also have the BP 200. Yall be blessed and keep thumpin'.
