But since nobody seems to ever post here too m= uch these days, except for myself & Mark. So I'll throw this out there agai= n & see what happens! My personal favorite bass, in my stable of seven bass= es, 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 & everyt= hing about it. Also while I'm at it, what bass rig or combo amp does everyb= ody prefer & why also? I have two rigs, an Ampeg USA BA500 combo with a Pea= vey 210 Black widow cab. Thats sounds just like an SVT, but it's also very = heavy! The one I've been using for the last year is my SWR Headlite head th= at weights in at 3.5 lbs & my two GK ultra lite 210 cabs, with each cab wei= ghting in at 30 lbs each. At most gigs though, I only take my SWR head & on= e GK cab. Which make it easy for me to unload, set up & then get out of the= re easily after the gig is finished. For me these days weight is a >very important thing, along with tone & versatility!=20 >> >> >> >> >> > >[Non-text portions of this message have been removed] > >[Non-text portions of this message have been removed] > > > > > [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] =20=20=20=20 =20=20=20=20=20 =20=20=20=20 =20=20=20=20 =20 =20=20 [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------------------ Yahoo!
