I'm asking because I want one, and in my case, it's just internet GAS! heheheh! i've never played a bass vi but i've played bari's before and one in offset form with a trem arm = :eek: it's part internet gas of coarse but i know the sound and feel for the most part and bass was my first real instrument although i mainly play guitar now i figure a bass vi will be a nice marriage of the two and i'll come up with some nice music with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members (((echo))) Posted January 10, 2006 Members Share Posted January 10, 2006 Originally posted by zhivago yeah man.,...I need to start thinking about getting a house, I wanna get that going in a few months or a year max...so I won't be able to do the guitar buying thing anymore soon, gotta move fast on all this. yeah i hear you.. i'm sort of in the same boat. a house might be the only thing keeping me from getting the guitars... which is fine. amp and pedals are certain but when our lease is up we're not sure if we're going to re-up or try for a house. we don't want to move again but if it's to our own house we'll manage good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members syciprider Posted January 10, 2006 Members Share Posted January 10, 2006 I already have the best basses (Stingrays!) so here are the amps/cabs Orange AD 200B bass head and the matching 410 and 115. Or maybe I'll should just go with the classic rock stack: Ampeg SVT CL and the matching 810 refrigerator. You can't go wrong with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
