😯 I do a style I call hard edge Blues!! the older Blues men Ive played with say I don’t play Blues they say it sounds like rock to them! However Iam still searchen for the sound I hear in my head, if that makes any sense!! But the open tune slide used with taste can produce some very BOLD statements, I used a friends lap steel on my New CD in a song titled [Time Machine] to set a feelin and I was happy with that, I love the scale picked notes, But it does have its limits for sho! But you combine it with a hot bass line !!! it makes me breath hard!!
😀 A clean geetar is a happy geetar!! 😆 Or if your refering to the post of my 345 and 2 amps , Clean on one amp means , I don’t use any overdrive or any effects just what I can achieve in[ A ]channel, presence etc, 2nd amp I overdrive it just enough to get a good attitude, combine the 2 sounds and it has punch like 2 seperate guitars, Thats what clean means to me, 🙄
Man ain’t nuttin wrong with 4 strings!! aslong as you use em all!! and nuttin bad about 3 either! dats 2 more than you need!! I have a few but Iam not a collector, Ive just ran across deals that I could not refuse! and act, its a pain in the ass havin more than one you have to clean em and keep em up and feel guilty you have not played each more often,and decide which one to take to a gig! THank god I only have 1 wife!!!! But I was in williamsburg Va, last year and droped into a little blues hangout,there was a jam goin on, offin da corner was a huge guy sitten grovin on the sound,musta weighed 400 lbs looked homeless, but after a while thay invited him up and he got on a 4 string bass and man he rocked da house!!! The best Ive ever heard by far!! his name was Mike Miller!!
😯 Iam sorry !! I could’ve sworn the topic said , Show your guitar!! not amps! Nice old stuff fo sure! However I posted on this thread to talk guitars and no one is interested, May be start a thread show your amps?? 💡

😯 Bassleft, if your smokin, STOP!!! for godsakes!! It will kill you man!! I know nico,is a bad drug to quit, I did in 85 and still from time to time want one!! But it is a slow killer no Lie, about the time you get good and enjoyin what your doin it will hit you!! Be well Bro!!!
😯 I had a gig doin lounges for a hotel chain 2 nights a week, the cig smoke was a major problem, when I would get home I had to leave most of my cloths on the back porch to air out ! I bought a ozone machine for my studio, about 200 USD and I would open the cases and put the guitars on a stand and that took out the smell in about 24hr.
😯 Speakin of flat wound Strings, Iam thinkin about gettin a set for my Hamer 5 string, with the active pickups Iam getting a slide sound when i record with it, How are the flat wounds on a bass??
😯 Well Ive heard the ampeg, a good friend ,Bull,plays with the house rockers has one ,sounds good ! and I ve heard the Kuger full stack either 6or800 watts it kicked butt big time I loved the clean pop it had!! a good friend Harry Cowart,played with the B Gees,and Berry Gibb, also with Strisand, a bassman as you know sez the Krugers are his choice! The Kuger Backline is 350 watts and goes for about 800 USD thats not bad but is 350 enough to push Iam gonna check it out!! Ive Heard about the Hartke its supposed to be a badass but Ive never heard one. Behringer makes a sweet Bass combo Ive heard a 120 watt 1 speaker, has a super bass setting which sounds like a bass chouris, really sounds good 199. USD great deal but to small for me, But They have Larger Heads and Cabs, very Cheap,
😯 Man tell you what !! doin da bass lines on my new Cd this last year and gettin into dat Hamer 5 string I have to admit Iam in love not just with da hamer but with da bass period,I love that thunder around me and I love to lay down those grooves. Iam Thinkin about gettin a live rig and maybe doin some bass work at some shows, Ilike my 5 string, what about amp?? ampeg? Kruger? Hartke? if I get sometin its gotta be badass!! whatcha Think??? 😯
