All you Jeff-ites and bass players... what do you play?


I play a Custom Modulus 5-String, a American Deluxe Fender P-Bass, and a Sonata Acoustic/Electric Bass... right now I'm playing through an Ampeg stack, but I'm looking to upgrade to a Marshall 10 foot stack someday...


What are you guys playing?

    Guys like Victor Wooten and Jaco Pastorius solo on the bass like SRV and Hendrix....


    In my opinion, a beastly bassist is better than a beastly guitarist, but that's just me....

    I have three, all left-handed. rickenbacker 4, stingray 4, and yamaha a/e-5

    I think my parents felt sorry for me bcause I was trying to copy the boys or they actually thought I was going to make a living out this. Little did they know.

    exhausted, If you'd take the lead, I'd sing some backup.

    Ok by the way puremagic, reading all that gear stuff, you just got sexier if that's possible.

    I'll sing lead no problem, we can trade off solos.

    Drummers hmmm. What's you guys flavor hard hitting, technical?

    How do you tell when the stage is level?


    The drummer drools out of both sides of his mouth.
    My Girlfriend said to me..."How many guitars do you need?" and I replied...."How many pairs of shoes do you need?" She got really quiet.

    Peavey Cirrus 4 String
    Peavey Firebass 700 II
    Peavey 810TX Cab

    I had an Ampeg SVT-4PRO with the 810EN and SVT-215 cabs. I had two 4PRO's go to crap on me and had to replace two $100 speakers in the 810 cab. I went back to Peavey because it is rock-solid reliable and the newer stuff sounds great.

    I prefer left-handed bass guitars, right-handed bass guitars feel... backward.
