Why is there a wire coathanger wrapped around your head? :D:p

LOL! That what those damm in ears feel like sometimes. :mad: They never stay in my ears so I have to put them in a certin way to make them stay. And that makes they cords stick out a little. :( But at least I can hear my voice over my loud a** guitar player. :D

Good Golly your right! I am viewing this on my phone - small screen. I should have known though - if it was a Bongo it should be three girls in front. :)

Yes, it's a Sterling... and WOW, every time I play my Sterling, it's a dream! What a bass... and what a sound! The soundman was completly amazed by my tone... He just told me that it's been a long time since he have heard a great tone like that!!! And this place has pro bands every weekends of the year....That's cool to hear!

About the top view shot... There is a second floor with a mezzanine with view on stage... That's where this shot been taken! and yep.. it's a great shot!!!!:D

Here is my Trans red SR5 along with a vintage Kustom 200k with JBL's I scored on craigslist this past week.I bought it from original owner......incredible A+ MINT condition.NO tears, no rust etc.About 4 hours of playing time since 1969! He kept it in a closet with the covers on it for 41 years.Played it outdoors today with the Stingray sounded so sweet.I'm still in shock :D

Yeah, nice shoots, nice bass, I bet it sounds great!

Talkin' bout Sterling perfect cut through at live giggin', my guitarist killing me all the time since I ordered Reflex, ...he said to me : -you'll play more Sterling than Reflex! :D

We'll see about that! :rolleyes:

Wow! Great score on the vintage Kustom! I see that you are using the bright channel. I bet that it was a dream to gig it.

I got one in cascade the other day - but it had the 100 head instead of the 200. So, that was lacking in power some but was still really cool. My "Holy Grail" is to find the 3x15 in blue some day. Then I will sell the other Kuston stuff I have.

It is great to see the vintage stuff come out time to time. That head will drive two cabs incase you ever come across another black one. That should provide some serious thump.

Played a gig in a pub on Thursday night - it turned out to be an indian restaurant with a bar - a bit short on space for a four piece! Spookily rockabilly and rock and roll went down well and we got re-booked :)

drTStingray, I don't know how Your nice Classic cut through (sound) in that pub, but it cuts through visually just perfect, especially this finished maple neck! Very nice! ;)

Thanks Keko. It cut through the sound just fine - and the sound of that Gret*h Tennessee Rose can be quite thick and daunting at times :eek: the Classic gets a lot of comments - it's a very pretty bass and the sound is pure late 70s Musicman. The only thing it didn't cut through in this place was the gorgeous smell of indian food - I felt hungry all night :D

No doubt! Beautiful classic!

Thanks five 7.
