So what's music to you?

[Worf101]

The O.G's used to say "blues is blood" and I have to kinda agree. Music to me is life, I not only listen to it but play it on weekends for love and money. It's so inextricably entertwined in my existence if I were to go deaf I'm not sure what I'd do.... I won't discuss my home audio gear but I'll list my musical gear. I've been playing bass for money since the Nixon administration (off and on of course since life does interfere.

Axes
1. 1968 Fender Jazz bass.
2. 1968 Gibson Les Paul Recording bass.
3. 1997 Ken Smith "Churck Rainey" CR5-J
4. 1975 Rennaisance Plexiglass Bass.
5. Late 90's Ibanez 5 string.

Amps.
1. Old Traynor practice amp.
2. Mesa Boogie M'Pulse 600 head.
3. SWR Goliath Junior III with 2 -10 inchers
4. SWR Baby Bertha with 1-15 incher.

Music will get you through times of no money, better than money will get you through times of no music. If we danced more, truly danced and sang, there'd be less war.

Six String? Wow, I just made the leap to 5 string after thrity plus years of playing 4-string. I love the low B though. How do you string your 6? Do you go "E" to "E" like a guitar or some other exotic stringing? Shoot me a pic of your axes and rigs... I'd be curious to see em. I'm also working on a pic of my "murderers row" of basses.

the six string I play is lead/rhythm....my bass is only an old fastion 4 string...someday I'll get into the 5 string..but I'm ALWAYS a few decades behind...lol I'll attach a pic of a bass like ming...it's heavy...(WAY too heavy for playing out) but the all alumin. neck is kinda different...she s got great action and shes really snappy....talk to you soon!

Interesting basses... I've yet to take a pic of all mine yet but I will. Kramers are heavy but they're built like tanks. The only real problem with them besides weight is the fact that aluminum is conductive as hell. So when it's cold it's COLD. Love to hear you play someday...

you got that right brudda!!...when I was playing out I'd always be in the club a few hours early so I could un-case my bass and have it in the greenroom...I made the mistake one time of keeping in the car whne I lived up north and we had a gig @ Lupos Heartbreak Hotel (very cool place in Providence) and it was in Jan or Feb...I tuned her...hit the stage...then the lights( heat from) de-tuned her six time durning the first set...lol

I sold her last year to a local guy w/a home studio....I can use it anytime I need but like I said I'm sticking with six string as of late...BTW I'd love to her you thump away also!!

Peace out, Pogue
