    My Basses--Yep, Here they are yet again...

    Can you see it now?

    I was taking a pic for the lefty bass forum I also visit, so I thought I'd just post it here too.

    2012 Hofner HCT
    2012 AmStd Jazz Bass
    2018 AmPro Precision
    1978 Ric 4001
    Ampeg V4B head, Heritage 4x10 cab.

    Thanks, VK. It is indeed 100 watts of tube heaven. I was just playing the Precision. It sounds so great with my band. I'd been wanting an Ampeg for years and finally did it, and I'm so glad I did.

    You smart aleky cowpoke, I was ridin' high through Laredo when I come across this h'yere in December of 1878. Anachronistic? Maybe so, pardner, but I had to wait until the 1920s to amplify it. I reckon it's aged purty good.

    Zero nut, or zero fret? Or are they the same thing? I have a zero fret on my Framus 12-string, but I'm not familiar with the term "zero nut."

    It's a zero fret. Quite a good and versatile bass.
