Bangers is great, and so are the tunes you posted on FaceBook. Eastwood Outlaw and Boogie Bored, to me, show a lot of range and are terrific tunes. Add me to the list of people waiting for an LP. —This is Noel. Reverb's at maximum an' I'm givin' 'er all she's got. |

O.K. Bass players, I'm always pushing vintage Japanese imports, ask our bass player what I put him through, I just saw this and had to pass it on. Looks fun and those pickups are usually strong! —http://www.facebook.com/CrazyAcesMusic |

I just had to share this. The guy really slaps his bass. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=3485320188855&set=vb.1746922851&type=2&theater —This is Noel. Reverb's at maximum an' I'm givin' 'er all she's got. Last edited: Oct 08, 2013 19:20:43 |

I'll admit I'm not really into Maiden, but I'm really drawn to the Steve Harris Signature bass. Am I the only one who thinks this would look hot in a surf band with its flake blue finish---yes, even with BadAss bridge, chrome pickguard and all? Like surf meets hot rod. |

I had forgotten about the Steve Harris bass. Very cool look. Coincidentally, I have two jars of strato blue metal flake waiting to be applied to a J bass parts bass, a VM Jazzmaster and a set of Rogers drums that we’ll be using in the near future. —The Boss Jaguars! |

Hope so. I should have all the paint and materials. Just need some free weekends and decent weather to knock them out. Plus, I've got this one to finish too. Not exactly Surf but, I'm going to play it anyway...

It depends on how much volume and how much clean headroom you need/want. A Showman with a single 15 would work great for many situations. I use a Bassman 100T with either a single or two 15s. At a 100Ws and 1x15 though, it can distort more than some would want at volume. —The Boss Jaguars! |
