The Last Bass Outpost

I still use an Acoustic 2x15 for outdoor shows, but pretty much everything else I use a Barefaced Super Twin 2x12 cab.  The sound is similar, though the 2x15 has a little more top end sparkle that the Barefaced doesn't have.

My condolences on your loss, Keith.  I lost my father recently and there's no preparing for it.

Was that he one with the nonfunctioning fuzz circuit that they couldn't figure out about 25 years ago?  I saved and saved, and when I finally had enough cash it was sold.

The Gator Viper guitar bag works perfectly, but I see that it's discontinued.  When I played some UK dates earlier this year I used a Gator Take2 ICON dual bag with the DC and a modified Newport with great success.  It was compact enough that I was able to take it on the plane every time and not gate check.

It's hard to believe that he wrote or cowrote all of those songs before he turned 21.  What a talent!  Ride On  A Pony is usually one of my warmup riffs.

I caught the IMAX presentation and it was worth every penny. I had the DVD that came out a few years ago that cut out Seamus for some reason but thankfully it was put back in for the new release.  Apparently there have been several revisions over time, such as adding the Abbey Road footage.

Cummings did an interview with Bob Lefsetz a while back that started with about 30 minutes of Mike Lindell-esque diatribes against the current band.  Bob would steer the conversation away and Cummings would go right back.  I don't think that Burton has anything else in his life but these memories.

There's an unbroken 67 II that just arrived at Willie's Guitars.  It came out of the North Dakota prairie.  The original owner used to play it through a 361, which was not sold to Willie's but is in equally immaculate condition.

Nice job cleaning it up!  The 90's reissues are such great instruments.

In one of my Rivoli IIs I put in a modern SG bass neck pickup.  Keep an eye out for a loose one.
The other one got a 60's pickup, and the "baritone switch" works much better with it than the stock pickup.

I have a set of 4 string and 5 string and electronics that are sitting in a box.

Brad, your bass looks and sounds good, but it's not a hollowbody! 

I really like her voice.

You got me there, Dave! Here's another with speaker melting hollowbody mud

She definitely has a gifted set of pipes, and writes some great songs as well.

This is from a little over a year ago. This song will be released as a single in the next month, and the covid delayed album should be out in November.

A Telecaster bass with a Thunderbucker 66S is the best of both worlds.

I'm a big fan of the Seymour Duncan STK-SCPB pickup. It sounds pretty much like a single coil without the hum. Some of the other split coils I've tried just sound too much like a post 57 Precision.

I believe that Phil Lesh had a column for each string in the "Wall of Sound" period.

That bass is a true work of art.

Nice comparison. The 2000 has the most appealing sound to me.  The preamp pedal is very nice as well. I did a few gigs with one into a Wayne Audio powered cab and then the gigs stopped.
