Sans Amp VT Bass Pro is all I need. Little bugger kicks ass.

Take consolation in the fact that you live in a GREAT time to need an amp. So many choices! So lightweight! So powerful! So CHEAP! (swoon)

I totally agree! I honestly think the emulators out there are more than enough if the PA is strong. A friend of mine has an old 70s SVT stack. But he never uses it these days.

Well, legend has it that Les Claypool taught Buckethead how to play Bass. He created a monster!






So much WTFness going on in this video.

I never understood Buckethead.

That may well be true, but I've never met an emulator I got along with. Then again, my gear choices have never been normal.

This is just delightful:

I had an Ampeg SVT-3 Pro -> Peavey 4x10 for the longest time. Sold it to a friend when I moved across the country. I didn't think I'd like the Ampeg sound but it turned out to have a big influence on my lead playing. Dunno if I want to go 2x10 this time around.

Primarily a guitarist (I know, I know), but there is definitely something liberating about the bass. It's foundational elements, and just groovin'. Playing bass is more enjoyable than guitar, most days. Also, that video rules OP.

This is my pig. '95 Black Label (cut in America, assembled in Mexico) with a Bill Lawrence P46 and flats.

Funny Buckethead story.
I was backstage at a House of Blues one night Buckethead was playing. I was the only one backstage by the artist parking when he arrived. He was the passanger in the front seat, must of been his manager driving. They walked right by me to get in the elevator and he was wearing a Michael Myers mask. I actually saw him in the car arrive wearing it.
