The Last Bass Outpost

Thanks! Over the last year I've been bitten by amp GAS, which I never really had before. I went through a few amps back when I was starting out (even bought a brand new SVT in 1983; the all black one), but once I settled on a GK800RB I was satisfied for decades. In that time I bought a few SVTs here and there but could never get what I wanted out of them so they went on their way. At the beginning of last year I bought a Super Bassman after reading some glowing reviews and liking how they sounded in clips I saw, but I quickly found it wasn't for me. I found a guy locally who wanted to trade his 2018 SVT classic for a Super Bassman. I figured the SVT would sell easier than the Bassman (which seems to have an avid but small fanbase, as opposed to the SVT which is still popular among many who don't mind humping their gear. The crazy thing is that I loved what I heard when I plugged it in, and then I started missing the B4 I got in a trade a decade ago and sold even though I liked how it sounded. Long story short, here's where I am at the moment:



I'm also expecting a delivery tomorrow with an Ashdown CTM30 Little Stubby that I want to A/B with the PF50-T. If it sounds as good to me as it does in the clip below, I'll just keep them both.

So beautiful... You do Thunderbirds like they were meant to be done!

I love that! Beautiful work.

Beautiful amp!

 

I remember planning on getting one, but for some reason I didn't. I still kick myself for selling my DPLE Jazz.

He's like Pat Metheny playing with a hard rock bassist and drummer (both of them skillful, but essentially hard rock based).

I totally agree. For all the attention the other guys got over the years, I think Alex may be the most accomplished musician in the band. That's not to belittle the incredible talent and skill of the other two either, it's just that Lifeson is that good.
