Wow!!! That looks great! Look up "The Twistin' Tarantulas", their lead singer plays the stand-up bass and they played everything from Motorhead to Charles Mingus and Thelonious Munk.
We're going to be looking for a vintage cello for Becky this fall, if you hear of one, please let me know!

I spent last week at Victor Wooten's Bass/Nature Camp. Got to play some upright - was reminded how physical and fun it is. Then I also remembered the reality of hauling it to gigs and amplifying it
 Awesome score though - I would love to pick another one up at some point. |

I've seen him at NAMM twice and play live with Dennis Chambers, Bela Fleck and plenty of others. He is so good, it's just wrong.

It's full size, so it IS a beast. I figured that if piano players can have baby grands in their living room, I can have a dog house. I do enjoy playing it, although it will most likely never leave the house again.

Here's my newest contribution to bass porn, bought a week ago.
September, 1970 - a delicate transition time at the end of the first run of SVTs, with 6146 tubes AND a standby switch. The 'best' combo of features, in the eyes of some enthusiasts. Only needs a few detail things to be perfect.

"Only needs a few detail things to be perfect."
and a fork lift to move it around. LOl. Although I do miss mine. Nothing sounds like an SVT. |

Could be anything as I know little about them. It's a hybrid. Came with a fishman that I will probably never use.

Love the B15. Closest I come with a VT pedal into the Streamliner. Though I won a SoundBlox bass distortion pedal at camp and I'm finding that pretty freakin' fun. |

Shut up..you suck It's mostly just gonna look nice sittin in the man cave next to "Ol'-Squeaky." I saw that they reissued those now. $3900.00 ( but of course you can probably get one from Ampeg free too. ( you really would suck then) |

The new $3900 reissue is all point-to-point, hence the hefty price tag.

Man, is it just me, or do all those rock and roll stars just hoard the vintage amps?
I noticed this phenomenon in the liner notes on Tom Petty's Mojo album, now, Gogar's startin' to unveil his stash. (PS- Targa911, fire up your bluegrass albums too! Willie would be OK with that, I'll bet!)
