Re: Which bass is your favorite bass to play & why?

I'm a guitarist but I recently decided to play bass. I got a chinese Peavey=
 Cirrus 4 strg. I like everything about it, but sometimes I hit open E and =
it just sounds weird, kind of rattley and flabby and I hear it playing live=
. I don't have any experience with basses so I don't know what it is

Thanks,
Rob in Cali

=C2=A0=20
Still like my good 'ol 100 % stock=C2=A0 Fender J bass. Everybody that ever=
 payed it says it has the VERY best neck they ever had in theitr hands.=20
=C2=A0
I also have Samick =C2=A0Artist ser (not to be confused with the newer Sami=
ck Artists as it cost 3 grand USD=C2=A0back in '98) 6- string. neck thru, a=
ctive.(Glad there are those=C2=A0who listen with their eyes instead of ears=
=C2=A0as I got a=C2=A0REAL DEAL on it)
=C2=A0
It also playes extreamly well although=C2=A0I did have to work the nut and =
shave the frets but other then the width=C2=A0of the neck it has a fender n=
eck profile and plays better then any other 6 string I ever tried.=20
=C2=A0
I will say after playing the 6-er thoughn the J feels like a ukelelie and t=
he 6 feels like a surfboard after playing the J.
=C2=A0=C2=A0
The worst "real" bass I ever played is my '63 Gibson EB3. It's got a neck l=
ike a telephone pole but with the select tone in "1" it is the deepest soun=
ding bass I have ever heard. Just it makes=C2=A0my old Kay upright feel lik=
e it has a small neck!
=C2=A0
As f ro amps, You guys know me. anything less then 2- 15s with over 100db e=
fficency is high pitch twang to me, but that is just a sigh of "my age"=C2=
=A0My Dual showman is even less then I like and=C2=A0dosn't run with=C2=A0t=
he Kustom K200-B1 with the 2- JBL 15 cabinet, (Used to like=C2=A0one or=C2=
=A0even=C2=A0two=C2=A03-15 cabs in my "loud" days) although I would like to=
 get a hold of a Sunn 200S=C2=A0with a 2-15 Folded Horn or scoop cabinet ju=
st for compairison.=C2=A0=C2=A0
=C2=A0
Later,=20
=C2=A0
Smoke
=C2=A0
Anything over 5000 Hz is for the Guitarist :)))

>This has been done before. But since nobody seems to ever post here too mu=
ch these days, except for myself & Mark. So I'll throw this out there again=
 & see what happens! My personal favorite bass, in my stable of seven basse=
s, is my 1995 G&L L2500. It gives me just about any tone that I want. It's =
also pretty light for a five string also. I really love this bass & everyth=
ing about it. Also while I'm at it, what bass rig or combo amp does everybo=
dy prefer & why also? I have two rigs, an Ampeg USA BA500 combo with a Peav=
ey 210 Black widow cab. Thats sounds just like an SVT, but it's also very h=
eavy! The one I've been using for the last year is my SWR Headlite head tha=
t weights in at 3.5 lbs & my two GK ultra lite 210 cabs, with each cab weig=
hting in at 30 lbs each. At most gigs though, I only take my SWR head & one=
 GK cab. Which make it easy for me to unload, set up & then get out of ther=
e easily after the gig is finished. For me these days weight is a
very important thing, along with tone & versatility!=20
