    Best Music Purchases This Year?

    1. Fender AmPro Precision Bass. My other basses, the Ric, Hofner, and Jazz Bass, became sidemen as soon as I played the Precision.

    2. Ampeg V4B 100 watt tube head, Ampeg Heritage cab. I've got the tone I've dreamt of my whole musical life.

    I’d have to say it was the Rickenbacker 620.

    Oddly enough, I want to say my ES-335. But truthfully, I find my hands filled with my KLŌS guitar more often then not.

    I'll be headed to California the week after New Year, and I have every intention of packing it in my suitcase and using it during the trip.

    It's too early to say for sure, but I think it might be my Mesa Transatlantic TA-15.

    Simple. The blue quilted top Jackson and the SS Marshall amp. Alone they're both pretty good. Combined.... Pure heaven!
    I forgot what I was going to say...

    I had my StingRay 5 string refretted and a new bone nut installed. The old girl has been played hard for many years.

    If you have time and it's not too much of a pain, could you post a pic of that StingRay? I've probably seen a pic of it, but I don't remember much about it.

    This is the only photo of the Stingray 5 that I can link to as I haven’t figured out how to create an album here. This is from around 20 years ago.

    That's a good looking bass, Laker. You look like a rock star in that pic.

    That was an out door festival. That day we played a double-header; two outside gigs with one being a one set show at the festival and the second, a few hours later, a four hour picnic gig.

    I'm confused, but that's my usual state.
