So. With this new phone I have the ability to post image links. The thing is, I don't know if it works that everyone can see the pictures. I didn't get any comments on the link I posted on the first page, so I still don't know. Could someone check see if it works and let me know. Thank you.

On and off since about 88. I admit I haven't played the four since I've been having fun with the 6 and 3 stringers.

My 6 string Warwick is my gigging bass. However, I recently started playing the Ric a lot and enjoy the 4 strings. Of course there is more neck movement with the 4 compared to the 6. I never played a 3 string. How's that work? Tuning of strings?

I would not call myself a player but it has been a hobby of mine for a long time. Here is my bucket list rig, took quite a while to assemble: Modulus Quantum 4 Sweet-Spot with (Now forbidden) Grenadilla fretboard and (rare) Lane-Poor pick up (Made to order in 2000). With it a 90's SWR SM-500 and early version Schroeder 1210 (The 10" speaker is tucked inside the port):

Originally posted by bassman: YES! Hello brothers of the down low! I've been playing for 38 years. I play jazz, rock, classical (double bass) and musical theater. I play a Sadowsky modern 4 electric, a fretless Carvin LB 75 and a circa 1945 Juzek double bass. Favorite bass players in no specific order, Jaco, Geddy Lee, Marcus Miller, Victor Wooten, Will Lee, Abraham Laboriel, Stanley Clark and Christian McBride.
Amp rigs vary from small (aka back saving) Mark Bass combo 12 with 300w/500w built in head. This amp is the bread and butter for small jazz gigs and musical theater. For bigger gigs I run a Genz Benz head (1000 watts I think) with dual mixing between a solid state side and a nice warm tube side. For cabinets I run Bergantinos- 1 with a 12 and a horn and another with a 12. These cabs sound amazing.
For effects, I run EBS compression all the time and have a syrupy sweet EBS chorus pedal for ballads, etc. For extra emphasis, sometimes I use an octave pedal.
Bass is lot's of fun creating the perfect groove with a good drummer.
First. I'm not a Bass player, I'm a drummer. If I wasn't a drummer, I would most definitely be a Bass player.
I just play at a local watering hole with a group of friends a couple of times a month (No Cover, and No Pay). LOL
The Bass is cool. It and the drums are the Rhythm section. Nothing feels better to me than to be locked into a good Bass player. I have also played with a few Bass with players that only knew where "1" was. Either way, it's hell of fun to play with others.
It's nice to see so many enjoy it.

Yep, providing a solid backing for the rest of the band is essential. Without that support things get messy real quick.
Either way, it's hell of fun to play with others.
