Funknbass: What sort of sounds can you get out of a 62 J? I know it's got a real smooth sound.. but i mean, it should be more versatile than the 75 yes?

Mary the Ice Cube is quickly becoming a favorite song.....

:eek: On 21/12/02 at the US snowboard grand prix.. john frusciante mimes can't stop!

Hey Paul. What's up?


Apparently Geezer didn't see what I wrote. Meh...

Very low sounding and smooth with bright highs, great slap sound, unbelivably warm as well. Its great to be able to have th tone on the bridge pickup with hlf on the neck to slap. That extra tone gives more flexability to the bass that no other jazz basses have.

Fantastic DVD tons of great content, Live shows are spectacualr and the video commentary is outstanding. It really gives you an insight into the band.

Mmm, is the feel like that of a 60's classic one.. like the ones that are made in mexico or japan or whatever? I've played on of them, but not a 62.

How much do they usually go for on ebay?

It blows the 60's classic out of the water by far, to me its the ultimate Vintage Jazz Bass.

hmm, good-o. I'l have $700 Aussie soon. I'l see if parents will chip in as well. How much do they go for on ebay? $500?
Hopefully it'l still sound warm through my SWR cabs :p

Im not sure on the Ebay price, I'll ask my dad if he knows, He's a vintage J master. He's got 23 Vintage jazz basses 19 are the real deal.

Hmm, I think I'ma go with a Roland DB-500 for now and then get an Ampeg stack at a later time.

Thoughts? Comments?

Sounds good, especially if it makes you happy.

Does the DB-500 have an extension? And if so at what wattage? I'm interested in a Peavey TNT 115 at the moment, only because the Trace Commando 15 doesn't have an extension....

I was thinking of a Ampeg 4x12 + Ampeg 4x10.

Whatcha think? ;p

No extension. :( Alls I know is that it kicks the Ampeg BA-210's a[size=2]ss[/size] in sound quality and volume.

hell, a Crate probably could if it didn't blow up first :lol:

Holly sh!t.

[QUOTE=Foxfire]I was thinking of a Ampeg 4x12 + Ampeg 4x10.

Why? I'd put a 1x15 or 1x18 in there instead of two 4xs.... It seems a bit overkill.....

Oh, and also, the DB-500 weighs 46 pounds and sounds like it has more than 220 watts (it's rated really conservatively). :p

[QUOTE=PaulSimonon]Why? I'd put a 1x15 or 1x18 in there instead of two 4xs.... It seems a bit overkill.....[/QUOTE]

For the highs. 2x12s can hit the 48hz I do believe, and 1x18s are a bit...slow?...I think. 4x12+1x18'd be sick though.

I know, the funny thing is when i was little I thought everyone had that many. It's a collection which I will have someday.

Bass collecting is [b]under[/b]rated. :p

I knew that much..... I like the weight, but if that was a factor, why not go for a G-K micro?

Because I don't plan on paying 715 USD for a combo. :p

I would just like to say I have no idea what the f[COLOR=White]uc[/COLOR]k you guys are talking about.





ok, continue.



Yar.

Combos.

:p

[QUOTE=Foxfire]Bass collecting is [b]under[/b]rated. :p[/QUOTE]
I still believe in one bass for each use:
A 12 (soapbar; active; fretted; piezo)
A 7 (soapbar; passive; fretted)
A 5 (soapbar; active; fretless; tenor)
A 5 (MM; passive; fretted)
A 4 (jazz; active; fretted)
A 4 (soapbar; active; fretless)
A 4 (MM; active; fretted)

[QUOTE=Foxfire]Because I don't plan on paying 715 USD for a combo. :p[/QUOTE]
The Trace Commando 15 is about 500 USD new if you can find it, and since you plan to move up soon, it would be perfect.

Well, personally...

I just want two of every string bass up to 10, and then a few more on others.
4-10 in fretted and fretless
4, 6, 7, 9 in hollow body

All with custom foxhead inlays at the 3rd, 5th, 7th, and 15th frets. At the 12th fret, it'll say "Foxfire."

Are there any quality travel acoustic basses? I saw a Martin travel guitar, and I loved it.....
