Members 4string Posted August 22, 2006 Members Share Posted August 22, 2006 I saw Derek5272 play his new bass on stage this weekend and I was impressed. While it didn't have a sound that was distinct that you could recognize it, it cut through the mix perfectly. And has great stage presence with its mahoghany color in the lights. The lead guitarist who is a family friend had his Les Paul with a nice crimson red color. The two guitars on stage were an awesome site. Mrs 4string thinks I am a sinner because I was coveting thy neighbours bass. GAS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Derek5272 Posted August 22, 2006 Members Share Posted August 22, 2006 If it means anything 4string, I covet your basses too I dunno how much your Fender cost you, but the AGB140's quite cheap, barely a blip on the radar compared to a 'Ray. The proper color names (like it matters ) are Transparent Brown for my bass and Wine Red for my dad's octave-high 6 string bass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would probably get the sunburst one though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Derek5272 Posted August 22, 2006 Members Share Posted August 22, 2006 That's... ASB140? I personally don't care for the double cut (that and the finish are the only differences between the two IIRC). I've got a case for one of those, L&M had no idea that both models have their own cases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members el_duderino676 Posted August 22, 2006 Members Share Posted August 22, 2006 A sinner for coveting a th bass in one year? Hardly. In the past year, I've bought three basses, most of a 4th, an ampeg fridge, an EHX polychorus, a cheapie strat, an SV 57, and half of a mixer. You're safe.

If I told my mom I was looking at getting a 2nd bass this year (most likely a cheap fretless to tune BEAD), I probably wouldn't live through the night. Not everybody has the freedom to buy gear that you do Then again, I also have university bills to pay, but a $150 bass isn't that much... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think that'd work either If I wanted one, all I'd have to do is sell one of my guitars, and I'm not sure I want to do that. And even if I did, that'd bring even more death and destruction with it, because my acoustic is less than a year and a half old, and my electric isn't 6 months yet.

Members 4string Posted August 22, 2006 Author Members Share Posted August 22, 2006 I'll tell your dad, that it's the new thing in bass and it's revolutionizing the way people are playing. In fact it's so great I just sold all my gear so I could buy two of them. Any loving (sucker) father would buy one for his kid. In fact if my boys want one I'll stand in line to get them one.

Honestly, I shouldn't have spent so much on gear considering that I'm now a po' college kid. At least I have scholarships though, but having no money to spend sucks My parents have come to the realization that music is my "hobby." My oldest brother spends all of his spare money.time on rebuilding junker trucks, but more recently remodeling his house. My other brother has hunting and fishing, and I have my music. They did give me awfully funny looks when I bought the T-40 FL, especially since I had sworn off buyin any more basses after recently buying the Peavey Millennium Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members bassred Posted August 22, 2006 Members Share Posted August 22, 2006 I've only bought two basses this year, but one is taller than I am!!! So, do you play any Allman Brothers tunes on that thing? I was dining around on one at GC, played 'Don't want you no more' totally rockin' tone!! I've got GAS too, I think it was the beans.....
