Bass Amps & Effects / Did I need a new(to me) amp? (Fender)
« on: March 08, 2012, 10:57:19 AM »
No. but that's never stopped me before.
Fender Bassman 60 from the early 90s, I think, need to do a bit of research. 1-15". I love 15s. 3-band EQ, Input Level, Master Volume, Limiter. Has a lot of low-end, but is very clear/clean. And casters!!

The Outpost Cafe / RIP Gene Kurtz
« on: October 24, 2011, 10:38:27 AM »
My friend and fellow Texas bassist Gene Kurtz just passed away. He was a monster "old-school" player, and best known for writing "Treat Her Right", a hit for Roy Head in the 60s.

Got one of these coming
But I'd prefer chrome pickups, do these look like direct replacements?
